HSBC Network/Other savings institution question

Like everyone else, I'm thinking safety. Plus I'm also thinking home-grown.

HSBC appears to be the strongest of the UK 'big boys'. I know First Direct are owned by them, but who else ( savings-wise ) ? I had a look at Martin's chart and it seems their registration is shared amongst 9 - so if we take HSBC and FD out of the pot - who are the other 7 that are under the HSBC umbrella ?

    Marks and Spencer money are one of them, but I have no idea what the other 6 are.

  • Erm, If you read the chart instructions, you'll notice that to compensate for those colourblind folks or those with chronic ;) screens, banks that share the same licence, are numbered the same...

    As in, those numbered (1) all share a licence, (2), shares a licence...... and those numbered (9), share a licence. ie, there aren't 9 banks in that group, it's group number 9. Thats why First Direct and HSBC share a (9) after them..
