Banks stability in current crisis ( CV )

Yeah you could put it in NS&I but Tildaplum isn't quite right - that won't give you complete peace of mind.

If the major banks crumble then the government probably will too and your money will be worthless wherever it is, under the mattress in fivers, bitcoins or premium bonds.

I'm not worried about that as it's pointless - just spread your risk.

yes robatwork is right - for complete peace of mind sinkthe lot into canned food, nylons and cigarettes

If you look at the share prices, in general although the banks have dropped, the percentage they've dropped compared to other organisations has been less.  Banks have to take strict tests nowadays to show that they can survive in times like these, your post is doing nothing more than to panic morons into withdrawing their money out and visiting branches at a time when they don't need to.  Please self isolate from reading any form of newspaper especially the Daily Mail/Express for at least 14 days and your symptoms will subside.

Totally agree with this. In particular, I find the Daily Mail an absolutely abominable publication, feeding on and amplifying peoples fears, not just about the virus  itself, but also it's possible repercussions on society.
