Hi,
As you may heard, Icesave, a bank from Iceland has gone bankrupt. I had a savingaccount at Icesave and in holland (where I am from) the government guarantees that customers will get their money back from 20.000 till 100.000. My account was less then 20.000 and that money must be claimed at Icesave. And its not likely that Icesave will be able to do that.
Funny enough though, about 3 weeks ago I transferred all I had (about 3000 euro) to an Oanda FXTrade account and has been trading succesfully till now.
But seeing Icesave going down like this and other banks ofcourse due to the crisis, how likely is it that a broker like Oanda also declares itself bankrupt? And if it does, is all our money there gone?
