Genuine question for anyone who knows: what happens to ordinary things?

I have a US pension from eight years in Boston. My sister banks with an American bank here. Is any of that in this, or is it only governments? Nobody in the coverage says and everyone I ask says "probably fine" in a voice that is not fine.

Only governments and only named companies. Personal pensions, personal accounts, ordinary retail banking: not in it, not intended to be in it, not going to be in it.

What CAN reach you is banks being over-cautious and slow. Annoying, not dangerous. Keep records of anything delayed.

"Probably fine" is right, and I understand why the voice is not fine.
