They said in the press conference that they have taken out loans :rolleyes: ...Just wondering who is providing the loans!!!

I hope someone can answer this for me,
The phrase 'UK Savers'...does this mean UK Citizens only or does the term also include Non-EU residents in the UK ?

I did the same. Starting to regret it now but I think we should be ok.

i presume it means anyone with a account in the uk. doesnt matter what nationality you are. its just a play on words imo as the pesume its all brits with accounts.

in the scheme of things its not important as long as you get your money back but i have intrest due around friday of this week. now iceland is still open at this stage interms of landisbanki being a working bank and all accounts are still on the iceland system so am i stupid in thinking that intrest could still appear in my account

I'm pretty happy I didn't panic and empty my account now! Yesterday morning I was cursing all you who transfered the night before :P

I think anybody legally resident in the UK will be covered

FWIW Icesave still seems to be ticking over. I logged in earlier this morning and found that my monthly interest had been credited to my account as normal.
