When the UK’s deputy foreign secretary has to admit that around 40% of all money laundered globally likely flows through London & the Crown Dependencies, you can bet that such an estimate will be on the low side.

So much for the value of financial services to the UK

Well, whether they did or did not, theirs is the first bank to take advantage of the UK's move away from EU regulations (and the scrapping of the cap on bonuses) to reveal that they have now removed their cap on the bonuses Goldman Sachs traders & bankers can earn.
I for one am relieved that untrammelled greed can return to this august institution - after all as Gordon Gecko (albeit a fictional banker) reminded us: greed is good!
Sehe ich das richtig? Bei einigen Sparkassen kostet die Push Nachricht bei Kontobewegung Geld?
Gefühlt sage ich es mir jeden Tag. Ich bin seit dem Knax Konto aus den 90zigern dabei, aber jetzt ist genug. #banking#sparkasse#deutschland
