Did anyone get The Mirror today?

riversider1982

In today's (saturday) Mirror it had a list of all the financial institutions and what banks come under them. It listed Bradford & Bingley being under HBOS. This isnt right is it??? I think they may have made a mistake here is the link:

Looked at the link. It just lists the main banks. I cannot see where in that article it says its a part of HBOS?. In any case its not. Its now part of Abbey under Santander

With no emphasising on that page, it could be hard to read, it does look wrong.

Bradford & Bingley should have Asda underneath it. But Norwhich Union should be under HBOS. So with emphasis:

Bank of Scotland
Halifax
Aa Financial Services
Birmingham Midshires Solutions Intelligent Finance
Saga
Norwich Union (Savings)
Bradford & Bingley
ASDA
Lloyds TSB Group
Cheltenham & Glouces
Hsbc Bank
First Direct
Royal Bank of Scotland
Direct Line
Virgin Money
Abbey National
Cahoot
Bradford & Bingley
ASDA
Co-operative Bank
Smile
Clydesdale Bank
Yorkshire Bank
NatWest Bank
No other brands
Barclays Bank
No other brands
Alliance & Leicester
No other brands

This is not a complete list, this is me just tidying up the Mirror's version.

Not yet?

I have edited my post to include B&B and Asda underneath Abbey as well.

So are they then part of the same group, or are they, as I have heard, different licences, so £500000 safe in each (from Tuesday)

But Norwhich Union should be under HBOS

Just for clarification for those that dont realise it, that means Norwich Union savings account which is a white labelled bank of scotland product. Not Norwich Union insurance, pensions and investments where Norwich Union is under AVIVA for FSCS protection.

Abbey & Alliance+Leicester will be classed as seperate institutions even though they will be under the Santander 'umbrellar'
