Its my first post and I'm very glad I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last couple of months, I made a well educated decision from what I have read and withdrew my money from icesave last week and have to say it was a close call.

Considering Abbey was bought by SANTANDER bank which has massive deposits, and looking at the share prices which are hovering around £9 quid (just like HSBC) and haven't really fluctuated at all during the credit crisis.

Is Abbey a safe bet to deposit my money?
