[quote=patientrenter][quote=qwerty007]….The Bank of England would be the safest in the UK….[/quote]
The Bank of England is the central bank for the UK. If you can open an account there, I’d be as surprised as if you told me you could open an account with the Federal Reserve.
I’ve had an account with Everbank since before Powaysellers’s first post about them back in 2006. So far, so good. And the FDIC insures them. [I think unlimited FDIC insurance is irresponsible, but it means I don’t have to care about the quality of the banks I give money to.][/quote]
How does a 2006 post get into current postings?
An account with the Bank of England, which is where the UK government banks refers to National Savings Accounts, where you purchase the UK equivalent of US Treasuries, and are obviously backed by the UK Treasury. Since the bank’s fairly recent independence, that connection has loosened somewhat.
