Where could you store millions safely?

I suppose it's better to spread it around. I've got A/Cs, mostly bonds, with lots of Building Societies in the UK and Ireland (decent old fashioned Building Socities like Dunfermline, Scottish BS, Principality, Nationwide, Century, Newcastle, Progresive etc). I also have money in NSAI as well as the max in premium bonds and Isas.
I have an A/C with Coutts and I was surpised but pleased to read that although they are part of the RBS group they do have their own license. I tend to role my bonds over at the end of the period and always look for a decent interest rate to transfer some of my Coutts dosh. I opened a 9 month bond with Bank of Ireland a few weeks ago and got over 7% so pretty good.
I travel a lot and I do give myself the luxury of business class where you can have a lovely sleep. On my last flight from Japan I slept for 8 hours which I could never do in normal class. Also used "economy plus" with a few airlines and it's well worth it if you can afford it.

It's not, really. Coutts is actually the private banking part of RBS, which is pretty much the same as NatWest's Private service etc.

I believe they have their own license though.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
