    been thinking of joining the many who have started to store their fiat out of the banking system to avoid any bail in but in doing so i'd lose the advantage of reduced interest on the mortgage from the offset account. What to do? Security of the fiat would be better than the bank, for what it's worth.

    Depends on how much savings you'd lose, could be a few hundred or thousand in a year, have you figured it out? I'd say leave it in the bank and save yourself some money but keep your finger on the news pulse. IMO the chances of something happening to your cash in the bank is highly unlikely so might as well pay down the interest.
