Purely from a selfish point of view. I have £7000 in an Isa and £2000 in e-savings with RBS. Any advice on what i should do?? Go and draw it all out now? And if so where shall i put it?? Any advice would be a great help?!!

I know its only a small pot in comparison to some of the big cheeses on here. I get 4.8% interest on my ISA and about 3% on my e-savings!!! Can i get better elsewhere and will it be safer??

Cheers Fellas (and ladies)

Start a bank run pull it out and teach Ponzi Brown a lesson.

Are you likely to need any of it in the next few weeks?

I'd leave it. They're all as bad as one another.

Leave it there. Your money is protected.

Spread your money around, you wont loose your money but as we have seen with icesave it can be held ransome for a couple of months! If the money is in a number of banks, in cash and possibly gold you stand a better chance of getting to some/more of it if you need to get out of here fast....

I moved my STR pot into NS&I last year after NR went down and
the Stock Market went wonky.

Premium Bonds/Income Bonds are pretty safe, but everyone is at it now
and I am told it is difficult to get through on the NS&I lines.

you will be told by some here to put it under the matress. I think don't worry but it is up to you to trust your instincts...

Leave it, you'll only lose it if the government goes bust! Safer there than in overseas bank, and as its under £50k limit.

You're covered for up to £50k per financial institution. Unless you are wanting to move to a better rate, I wouldn't worry.
