I hear people saying they will move savings to this or that country, notably Germany. Some of the German banks I wouldn't put loose change into given a Euro collapse. This is why people are moving their savings in the first place.
I have looked and cant find a Euro table of banks to know who would be least affected in the event of a major Euro default contagion happening.

Who are the very strong European banks that could withstand pretty much anything?
 
perhaps one should think of Nordic countries that do not have much exposure to Eurozone - i.e. do not have much lending to Euro - have not got much Euro government bonds etc. So in that sense - some of the strongest would be Nordea (pan-nordic), DnB (norway) and Danske (pan-nordic but have a tiny percentage in NIB). Look at the bank's annual reports to get a sense of how much exposure they have to Eurozone debt etc.
 
Good points marksa. Look at annual reports of banks to assess how much they are exposed to PIIGS debt. While the total figures are very high, it is only a small blip for some of the larger banks.
 
I would think that even these banks have exposure to Eurozone debt.

I was actually thinking of Eurozone banks in my question.
 
probably one of the safest - http://www.llb.li/llb/llb.nsf/PageID/home_en (Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG), but not very easy to access from Ireland!
