If you had to choose one of the following places to put your money, which one would you pick?

November 07 2008: Here are the results of last month's poll, which asked you to say where you would choose to put your money.

This month, 50.9% of respondents (110) voted to put their money in a government-owned institution, with 23.6% (51) choosing Northern Rock and 27.3% (59) choosing National Savings and Investments.

Around a fifth of voters (20.4% or 44) said they would choose to put their money in any other high street bank. The same number and percentage said they would choose to keep their cash under their matress or elsewhere in their homes.

Some respondents still have faith in the property market, with 8.3% (18) voting to invest their money in property rather than keep it in the bank or somewhere in their homes.

 

October 15 2008: The NEW compareandsave.com poll for October-November is here.

With the recent news full of stories about the current status of the world banking sector, we are hoping to find out where you feel your money is safest at the moment.

We are all very concerned about losing what's rightfully ours, and when it comes to our money, which ultimately we need to live, this is all the more concerning.

It doesn't matter whether you have £100 or £100,000 because, either way, we really want to know your thoughts.

To take part in our poll, just select the relevant answer and click submit.

Once you have hit the submit button you will get to see what others are thinking.

At the end of the poll we will let you know the final results and also our views on them.
