Will Santander be OK if Spain asks for a bailout??

Just wondered if the British arm of Santander (and my ISA!) will be OK if Spain asks for a bailout?

Comments

  • The UK arm of Santander is ring-fenced off from the Spanish arm, so they can't ask for money from the UK subsidiary and we can't ask them.

    (So yes, your ISA would be safe ;-)
  • It is indeed safe - As long as you don't want to withdraw less than £30 for the counter OK :D

    £1 of debt is too much for me!
