[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.]

You have to have a command of the English language or you’re just nowhere. I mean like … say you get out of college or whatever … you’re gonna go into business, you’re gonna open a bank just for an example.You’ve got to give it the right name. It’s gotta be something big and strong like “Security First Trust and Federal Reserve. “And you have to name a bank that because nobody’s gonna put their money in “Fred’s Bank.” “Hi,I’m Fred,I have a bank. You got $1500? … ahhh, I’ll put it here … in my white suit … ” Steve Martin -Philosophy
so Fred’s Bank is OK as long as it is insured by the FDIC?

September 25, 2009 at 11:24 AM #461426scaredyclassicParticipanteven a 30-60 day delay getting money could be a big deal if things are going crazy and yoou really really want to put t hat money into a specific invest somewhere fast. so it is an advantage to not go with fred’s bank. although fred might be more trustworthy, at least he knows where the dough is (the jacket pocket)…

September 25, 2009 at 11:54 AM #46177634f3f3fParticipantAn 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 recent independence, that connection has loosened somewhat.
