}}The [[FCA]]’s [[client money rules]] are designed to minimise credit exposure to firms which hold client funds, but who are not themselves regulated banks. Such firms must deposit client funds with an {{cassprov|approved bank}} which record the deposits in the firm’s name but belonging to the firm’s clients, so it is clear that the firm has no proprietary claim on the account.  Therefore, the [[client money]] account is isolated the firm’s creditors on the firm’s insolvency (such a failure a “[[primary pooling event]]”). It is not isolated, however, from the [[client money bank]]’s creditors.
