I spoke to someone at Scottish Widows the other day and they claim to have a separate banking licence to Lloyds TSB Group plc even though they are owned by them. They said that they were aware of this list and that their media relations dept had been in touch with the Times.
No change though.

An old article now but STILL no mention of Anglo Irish, near, if not at, the top of the deposit interest tables?
Posted by: Stan in Cyprus | 6 Jan 2009 10:49:01
This is a misleading list, with errors. e.g Saga is licenced via Birmingham Midshires (i.e. HBOS). Savers might be misled into putting deposits in excess of the FSA protection limits.

This is an interesting list of "who owns what" but it is now out of date.
Where can one find an updated version ?
Posted by: Frank Anstis | 4 Nov 2008 14:31:10
Please update this page - you shouldn't be linking to it from the savings page when its so out of date.

It's easy enough to copy the data from this blog and paste it into a spreadsheet. Then you can sort the data as you like - by Owner the most useful.

Santander own A&L,B&B,RBS no longer own Tesco PF

This list is ten months out of date, so why is it linked from an article only two days old without an update. Come on The Times, get your finger out!

what a mess of a report ,Alliance & Leicester plc is owned by Santander and as someone else has said Nothern Rock plc is owned by HMG as is Bradford and Bingley plc

Is Natwest safer than RBS i.e. does it have it's own capital separate to RBS and as a subsid could carry on trading even if holding company was struggling??
or is it's capital based on funding from parent?

Nationwide B.S. has not yet completed the mergers with Derbyshire & Cheshire Building Societies - due to be completed by the end of December 2008. Scarborough Channel Islands is wholly owned by Scarborough Building Society as Portman B.S. sold it to them before they merged with Nationwide B.S.

This needs to be urgently updated plus where do they invest the money? In Iceland ??? Clarification required
Posted by: cherry | 11 Oct 2008 13:21:06
The list needs updating - Kaupthing, Singer & Friedlander is now owned by ING, and I thought Nationwide took over the Derbyshire and Cheshire Building Societies some weeks ago.
A list like this is only useful if it is accurate!

Which banks, though part of the same group, hold separate banking licences?

Far too many fingers in FARRR too many pies!!
PS. This article is not in a logical sequence and is very confusing. Should have listed all the majors and who they own and lumped them all together ,so that we can see exactly who has their hand in what pocket.
Posted by: Colin | 10 Oct 2008 21:52:53
It should be 'Who Owns Whom?'

you can check the bank licenses on the fsa WEB page in a pdf file. You get £50k for each seperate FSA registered bank. Conceivably people will not realise that they need to spread out their savings.. I wish I was that rich !
Posted by: Simon Parker | 7 Oct 2008 22:34:18
FSA told me this morning that RBS and NAT West would be treated separately as they have separate banking licences - which is not as it is set out in the table.
Posted by: DB | 7 Oct 2008 16:08:05
Somewhat misleading as a few things have changed.
Firstly, in response to Margaret Weston: FBN BANK (UK) Ltd is owned by First Bank of Nigeria PLC.
Secondly, in response to some of the other posters. You are not necessarily correct. Some credit cards are administered by other companies than the loans and mortgages.
Thirdly, Tesco Personal Finance is owned completely by Tesco. RBS provides the backend systems for it, but it was bought out - and reported by Times Online - by Tesco for £950m.
There are several other mistakes, but it would take me a while to list them all!

This table is actually dangerous and could result in losing a lot of money. The article "How to protect your savings" states that it the protection of 50,000 pounds by the FSA is per Banking Licence and not by brand or by who owns the bank. The table should show the banking licences.

Anyone know origins of FirstSave - FBN Bank (UK) Ltd.?

Yes, MBNA Europe Bank Limited = Bank of America.
MBNA kept it's branding in Europe and Canada after the merger.

What does a web design diagram have to do with who-owns-whom? Also, not immediately obvious that the "table" above is actually a table. Ever heard of putting in a column header?

While not surprisingly a Diners Club Travel Rewards is issued by Diners Club UK Ltd, Diners Club UK Ltd = Citibank.
Marks & Spencer Money = HSBC and on the same basis Marks & Spencer Money DOES NOT = Marks and Spencer.
Conclusion - somewhat error filled reporting.
NB Halifax Bank of Scotland = HBOS!!!
