Amen, and you stand to lose a lot more than £75K.

Risk of divorce is much higher than that of bank going bust

The banks won't have to pay us back, our money, if (when) they feck up.
Therefore the government won't have to bail them out.

they will bail them out anyway to avoid loss of employment but won't have to guarantee deposits of little people... corporatocracy.

[MrMarkyMark]

How exactly would that help economy? So banks could take more risks and don't have to contribute to that security fund ?

hence the £1m total when there are 155 banks suitable for PRA finding 15 that aren't linked should be reasonably easy. Also as I have a wife the amount doubles if we have a joint account. So £150k is possible per bank account. Happy for you to pay me a £5 a month to sit on your cash. It might not be there when you get back.

Big banks like Lloyds won't go bust without bailout, as long as property prices go up and up, like they always do, especially in Birmingham...

Former Co-op Bank executives banned from senior financial roles - BBC News

The Co-op Bank came close to collapse in 2013.

In addition to the bans, the PRA fined Mr Tootell £173,802 and Mr Alderson was fined £88,890.

Those fines are pathetic. They should be inprisoned for 10 years.

Sure am everyone needs good quality sleep

Important to decide really, as a starter for 10, if you are going to be in the asleep, or awake business.

HTH.

Guarantee is per banking license - a number of "banks" now work under umbrella of same group with a single banking license, so you might be in for a surprise thinking you had it all covered...

A better way of doing it is this: pay some bum on a street a fiver a month for him to keep deposit in his name. Perhaps some some mobile based aggregation service for bums to provide such services could be my plan B...
