Which banks are not fraudulent corrupt or about to collapse?

In the light of recent events I have had enough. Looking to move my accounts from Barclays, Santander, and HSBC to somewhere that doesnt commit fraud, rip me off, wants to lend to me and isnt propping up the economy of a foreign country. And treating me with a bit of respect as a valued customer wouldnt be too much to ask either. Any ideas please?

    As long as my money is earning interest and I will get it back at the end, honestly I wouldn't careless how dodgy they are.

    Cashing out and storing it under the bed seems the best way forward... You are expecting far too much from an industry focussed on getting as much money as possible off of you.

    Hmm not much of a choice is there?? We are all caught between a rock and a hard place with them. As said above, under the bed does sound attractive but unfortunately doesnt offer the range of services we require

    Hi, came across this link earlier:

    http://www.!!!!!!.uk/

    I haven't yet had time to "study" the website in detail but expect to later in the day. It may be of help and interest to you, me and perhaps at least some others.

    In what way?
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    You do know that there are other building societies, don't you?
    Everyone needs something to believe in.

    I believe I need another beer.
