founded on dirty money but hey who cares it appears to be the most stable :8 only my own opinion before someone whacks out loads of facts

[Geraint]

Northern Rock.

[scottish]

barclays just made 6.1bn so.
Halifax is projected 8.5bn loss
TSB made 1.3bn

[Captain]

Barclays :)

[scottish]

all banks are fine anyways, none of our banks are gonna go bankrupt or anything.

[Immenseman]

barclay and lloyds are the oldest i think, most established and both founded on slavery money

[Captain]

yeah, so go with either one of em :)

[Immenseman]

but like scott said it doesn't really matter lol shop around for the best deal for you, banks always have initiatives to get you to join so you could benefit more from another like a free £25 when you made an account was one in alliance&leicster the other week

Barclays

[luce]

HSBC anyday

[Virgin Mary]

Best for what? If you're under 18 all banks are the same, the only thing you need to care about is convenience. If you want a debit card then see which ones offer that because some banks and building societies won't let you have one without a credit rating.

Main headline on frontpage BBC website lol.

[BeanEgg]

HSBC. - Least to go bust and actually HSBC has had no publicity regarding the Credit Crunch. Whereas Lloyds TSB has.

Great customer care and patience.

[scottish]

No bank is going to go bust? ;)

[BeanEgg]

No bank is going to go bust? ;)

In the case of banks not getting cash packages. ;)

[scottish]

£10 says no bank is going to go bankrupt (in the UK i don't care about US banks ;))

[Plank]

Even if a bank does go bust due to the credit crunch, if you have 50 grand or less you can claim it all back.

[lew!]

I'm with halifax at the mo. Quite a decent bank tbh, Good customer service etc..

[cocaine]

Northan Rock? *** is that and if you meant Northern Rock I hope you're joking.

northern rock is the best place to put your money atm, as your guaranteed to get your money back in case something happens, as someone put it, nationalised.
