If you depend so much on one single provider then you have a problem, not the system.
Get some redundancy. Get at least one other bank account. Get a credit card, or two. Keep some emergency cash lying around.

- rlpb 14y agoI would expect so, but I also would not rely on it.
- petercooper 14y agoGet a credit card, or two. This is the thing. Credit cards are the perfect solution here (and in many other situations), but there's a hard core of people who have some sort of ethical disagreement with them.
- adrianhoward 14y agothere's a hard core of people who have some sort of ethical disagreement with them I (as a matter of choice) don't have any credit cards. I have no ethical problem with them. I do have an excellent idea what the results of my incredible lack of will power and a credit card will be though :-)
