Scary isn't it? These days you really wonder how safe our money is anywhere I think. All we can do is secure our computers and hope that our banks are securing theirs and more! Good luck to us all!

Hi juhi06, I have never ever thought our money was never safe in the banks from the first place, I rather have them stuffed in my mattress, but what can we do? none of our money is safe. Tamara

yes dear tamarafireheart, with the modern technology in place , there are extra facilities and the element of more risk too!! but the agencies involved should bring in legislation and adopt all such measures to keep the customer safety and interest as the top priority!! well iam happy if the money can remain safe while in the mattress!!

To answer your question I don't know, we a insured by the Gov up to $250,000 after that we are on our own. And since it's the Gov that insures us we are only as save as the Gov is strong. This is in the USA
