Rabodirect Bank

[Anto7]

It seems that RaboDirect is the 10th most safest bank in the world.

If I was to open an account with Rabo Bank, how do I go about lodging and withdrawing cash?
There's a lot of information on their site but I can't see anything about making lodgements or withdrawals.

If safety is so important why not go for one the 9 safer banks.
I don't think there's much more risk with going with a more well known bank based on recommendations and/or knowledge of ease of use

if it's a virtual bank (ie no branches) then it's fairly usual to have it linked to another account you can put money in from (or send them a cheque)

The other 9 safest banks are foreign (I knoe RB is also) and you have to be a citizen of their Country to open an account, whereas as with Rabo anyone can join.
Thanks for that link bednobs, it helped a lot.

Don't see the need. All UK-regulated current or savings accounts and cash ISAs in banks, building societies and credit unions are covered by the Government-backed Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). So if the bank fails, you'd get back up to £85,000 per person, per financial institution. But watch out for some foreign banks in the UK who operate what's called a 'passport scheme'. If they fail, any compensation would be given out under the rules of their home country, not FSCS rules.
