Which banks are linked? tool

There used to be an essential tool on the "Are my savings safe" page.  The link is still showing in the text, but when you click on it, it only takes you further down the page to a very brief explanation of some of the main banks.  With the tool, you used to be able to enter any bank or building society and it would list which other bank/bs they're associated with.  There's a link that takes you to the FSCS page, but that doesn't list linked banks/bs.  Does anyone know if this has been moved (and I just can't find it), or have they removed it completely now?

Here is the tool you want:

I too was searching for it for ages. Strange, normally the MoneySavingExpert site is glitch-free. The webmaster should look into correcting the error - it's a very handy tool!

At the same time as I started this thread, I emailed the broken links contact to them know.

I think the error has been corrected, as that tool wasn't accessible there (in its expected location!) last week when the thread was started....

No, it's still not working. The link I posted above is a link I found in my internet history. If you look on this page:
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/safe-savings/
there is a link to "Which banks are linked? tool" - but it's still not working today. It just sends you lower down the page. Hopefully it'll get sorted as I, for one, find it a helpful tool. So I'm saving the correct address in my favourites:

Ah right, I think I can see what's happened here!

OP simply referred to 'the "Are my savings safe" page', but it looks like there are now two separate copies of it.

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/safe-savings/ is the latest version (updated yesterday) where the tool isn't correctly linked.

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/savings/safe-savings/ is the old version (last updated 10 December 2024) where the tool works, but presumably can't be relied on if its data is out of date....

Thanks for flagging this issue - I've brought it to the attention of colleagues here.
