    I think you are worrying unnecessarily.

    I see here MIM? gets a mention


    Technically your money is held in trust in an MIM client account with RBS. Yet the FSCS has confirmed in this type of structure you still get the UK £85,000 per person, per institution savings safety protection of the account provider, ie, ICICI (in the few days before it gets to ICICI it's via RBS's protection).

    I (along with other family members) received an email earlier this evening stating that if opted in to the new Raising/Starling platform by 17th Sept then they would give a £10 bonus.

    Not bad, not bad at all. :D

    You asked this several hours ago in another thread, where I directed you to post #24 of this one, which answers your question as far as I can see?
