At least in the UK you are insured up to 80k, so keeping 10k in a bank is perfectly safe. You will not lose it if the bank crashes.

That advice you're giving there is actually kind of dangerous & misleading.

I don't like these kind of "insurances". It is very probable that when multiple banks go belly-up this could lead to serious inflation. You will get your money back in nominal terms, but what will you be able to buy from it? I even think that we should somehow count these "insurance" to the central bank balance sheet. If shit hits the fan the cb will sure as hell monetise the government debt needed to guarantee these amounts.
