The "Who counts as one institution?" table incorrectly groups the Chelsea Building Society with Yorkshire Bank instead of the Yorkshire Building Society.

Error Number 2:
The Co-op & Britannia
These two (now ex-)building societies merged in 2009. However, they will use the same temporary FSA measure as Nationwide, and maintain separate protection for existing savers until 31 December 2010.
Since when was the Co-Op a building society?0 -
There once was a Co-operative Permanent Building Society. It's now called Nationwide and that hasn't merged with Britannia.
