I've been thinking the same about a big Premium Bond win - where would you put it?
It would be just my luck that I win now then I'd bank the cheque and the following day it would be that bank that went under. :eek:0 -
I believe with a big lottery win, you could open an account with Coutts. There's no way they'll go bust.0
