As best as I can, I do try. That is quite difficult though as it's often not until something arrives that you realise it's got 'Made in China' on it.

HSBC market cap more than NatWest Group, Barclays and Lloyds bank combined.
But JP Morgan is worth almost 4 times HSBC
Credit Suisse and Douche Bank are worth even less than the struggling UK banks.
Even Doggy coin was worth more than Credit Suisse and DB combined last week..

I closed my accounts a few years ago when they started to charge more for their business accounts. Switched to Natwest. From a personal banking side Natwest have blown HSBC away (and this despite I still had a staff HSBC account from when I worked there in the 90's and was treated better than the ordinary folks).

Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostI moved most of our non-business assets into HSBC in 2009 as they were the least fooked of the retail banks at the time. Business still in NatWest as they have the best services and will always get bailed out by the government.

Quite a bit in my Standard Life pension too ... again, if they go pop I'd only get the government backed money back, but again not a great deal of choice unless you spread the pension across lots of different providers.

BOOM: HSBC
Didn't an investment 'expert' on here predict the collapse of HSBC last year?
