Saving in Halifax

Hi All,

I hope someone can give me some advises please.
We have two 10K deposits accounts in Halifax. I heard the news about the Lehman Brothers and HBOS.
I'm wondering, should we take all the money out from our halifax accounts in Ireland and save them into some other safer banks (if any??) now?

I know we are under the deposit protected scheme limit which 90% of them are protected. but still, if we have a chance to safe them all 100% by withdraw them today. we would prefer to safe them 100% by taken them out.

Thanks for the advise!

they're a lot safer today than they were yesterday! (i.e. your deposits are now effectively with Lloyds)

HBOS (Halifax and Bank Of Scotland in Ireland) was taken over by Lloyds today so your money should be perfectly safe where it is.

Thank you very much for the update.
Now i don't have to rush to the bank and wondering where to put the hard earn savings now.

I imaging customers will be flocking to Halifax - they are probably one of the safer places for your money now.
