Icesave worries

[Clippy]

Quick aside, anyone know who provides the banking service to Sainsburys Bank?

There was a table in one of the broadsheets showing which bank services were provided by which banks but can't seem to find it.

Think it had slightly different info in it to the MSE table.

Thanks, sounds right.

Used to think it was HSBC.

Perhaps I'll have a total clear out of Icesave. That new bank mentioned sounds even dodgier. The numbers for Iceland as a whole are quite scary, I'm not sure who picks up the mess if the country goes under as a whole !?

Just applied for one for me and mrs - cheers

LOL - nice one baggy - those sods are in Iceland too! Even though passport protected I am not risking it. Will happily do .25 or so less to keep it in the UK I guess. Git

You can find a nice coloured matrix on moneysavingexpert.com showing which banks are part of the same group. It was in either the most recent newsletter or the one before it.

Look before you leap

Like most here, I did a quick check to see what was on offer on savings stuff. Most that came up either never heard of before, like Kaupf uck or some names that have recently had 'liquidity' problems like B & B, A & L or the worst in service/trying to get your money out (Sh-abbey).
I wouldn't risk it if I had 000's on any of the above for the sake of another 1 or 2 %. Beware of banks 'bearing gifts'.

All this uncertainty regarding banks is making opening an account with Northern Rock quite attractive!
