They have some signs up in my bank, telling people of the change.

I haven't seen any signs in my bank. The first I knew about it was when I got a letter today from the bank. I rang my brother who already knew about it and thought he had told me

Thanks for the info El Loro....I've not seen any signs yet either . Mind you , they'd have to drop it at least another £70k before I would start to worry  

I received a letter from my bank (RBS) about this around 2 weeks ago.
It sounds like getting information about this change is pretty haphazard, and depends on who you bank with...

Must get a move on then

Does Osborne know something we don't?  If there's another run on the banks there won't be enough money in the kitty to bail them out this time.  The government messed up the economy for 3 years. 

 

It amazes me that they got back in again with their appalling record but with our media Tory failures are brushed under the carpet. Had Labour delivered the same record, they'd be crucified. It's always Tory = good, Labour = bad with our free press. 

 

Delivering the same policies that led to the banking crisis in the first place.  Clueless idiots.

The maximum amount of compensation was set by the EU in 2010 at €100,000. The exchange rate at that time resulted in the UK value of £85,000. Because of the movements in the exchange rate since, the €100,000 works out at a bit under £75,000, hence the change.
