Your savings up to 85k are protected so if you are lucky enough to have more spread it around and make sure they are not a subsidiary firm.

Housing market collapse incoming, you heard it here first. We're definitely due one you'd think.. I wonder though, due to limits in the housing supply, whether any price fall would just equate to the rise over the past couple of years. As such it wouldn't massively help those who were struggling to get on the housing ladder anyway, and instead could just end up being hoovered up by those with perpetually deep pockets looking for a bargain. Just guesswork on my part though. We could definitely do with the endless house price rise stopping for years. It's reached absurd levels. Edited by BlueJay (05 May 2022 2.46pm)

However since 2008 they have been required to up the amount of capital they have to put aside and they face regular stress tests. For all the banks to fail it will have to be a cataclysmic financial disaster worse than the Crash of 1929.

Derivatives Of course another word for this would be a ponzi-scheme or just plain fraud "The derivatives market is, in a word, gigantic—often estimated at over quadrillion on the high end. How can that be? Largely because there are numerous derivatives in existence, available on virtually every possible type of investment asset, including equities, commodities, bonds, and currency. Some market analysts even place the size of the market at more than 10 times that of the total world gross domestic product" Edited by W12 (05 May 2022 4.17pm) Edited by W12 (05 May 2022 4.20pm)

The new Chase account offers 1.5% interest with an instant access savings account which is a decent option (well crap still, but comparatively!). Unsure of which others might be worth a look!

Up to 2.6% on fixed rate bonds. Sh1te. And sh1te compared to around the time of the late noughties crash. Another problem with low interest rates is it tempts more into property and adds to the problems in the home owning market.
