UK Banks, hahaha. Don't make me laugh. While it is great to have a bank that actually pays interest, they have only just started to move away from signatures for all transactions, and towards pins.
Plus, they have required huge bailouts as well, I think the RBS is now 70% owned by the government.
Australian banks are actually ones that have come out very well, limiting there exposure to toxic assets, no gov bailouts. Of course, Australia has maintained a very strong economy so far.

While it is great to have a bank that actually pays interest, they have only just started to move away from signatures for all transactions, and towards pins If by "only just" you mean around 5 years ago. US banks still haven't moved to chip and PIN.
- axod 17y agoUK has been chip+pin for some years now. Most places won't accept non-chip cards any more. Also the story with banks isn't the same all over. For example, Barclays, one of the biggest banks in the UK accepted no government bailout, and continues to post big profits.
