The last two weeks have seen some major events in the world of banking, including the collapse of two Icelandic banks holding around £4.5bn belonging to British Savers.
As a result, we are wondering how you are feeling about the current situation and where you currently feel it is safest to keep your money.
Do you feel it would be safest in a Northern Rock bank account, the bank featured a lot in the news at the end of last year when its customers did a run on it and also in February when it was nationalised?
Or, maybe you feel your money would be best off in the government scheme: National Savings and Investments.
Perhaps you still have confidence in other high street banks for whatever reason, perhaps because they have received recent help from the government when it pumped £37bn into three main UK banks or they haven’t featured in the news at all during the recent banking crisis.
Maybe you are one of those people who have lost all confidence in the global banking system and feel your money will be safest under your mattress or hidden somewhere else in your home.
Alternatively you may still have confidence in the property market and so think your money is safest invested in brick and mortar.
Whichever scenario best suits your feelings on the subject, we would like to know as part of our new compareandsave.com poll.
Have your say in our safe savings poll.
