I wonder how safe your money is in Santander these days?


If you are worried, move your money to the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation, who were, until the banking crisis revealed HSBC as
one of the few high street banks with more assets than liabilities,
often criticised as being overly cautious in their investments.

Bunch of wimps :-)

Phoned them up today just to see what their raes were (I don't always
trust tables with their bonuses etc

Flexible saver - 0.5% interest ...

that's not a saver, it's a loser account

Are there banks that offer better for a similar type of account? From a
cursory wander around some of the other banks' web sites, if you exclude
any introductory bonus, that seems to be about normal, with some
variation up or down in some banks, depending upon the amount invested,
for a fully flexible instant access savings account.
