Chancer Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 [quote user="Sunday Driver"]How safe is your bank? if you had to bet on your money being safe in one place, it would be with HSBC.

JSA Aude Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Having competed against HSBC subsidiary BBME in the Middle East for many years I have the greatest respect for them and consider Sunday Driver's pension to be as safe as any outside of the Civil Service. But last year when HSBC bought out a US Sub-prime lender for $4bn I knew then that the lunatics are running the asylum. Whatever possessed them and have heads rolled or did someone have his bonus tweaked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
