Is it too much to ask for a bank to stick to banking?

I'd prefer Santander spent time & effort updating their geriatric looking personal interface for their website instead of competing with the pop industry.

Innovate finance not pop music.

• So where did all the money go? Have Authorities recovered anything? After 11,196-years of inflation it will be worthless.

Maybe he invested in an index tracker. He'll own everything in the universe in 11,196 years.

Completely Off Topic: In the above photo, you can squint and see the house where Formula 1 champion, Nigel Mansell lived in the early 1980s. 

@Tanurag Nayyar, uh, you're not allowed to smoke in the office.

I wouldn't be happy with an anti-vax person being in the office - it's not about me catching it, but the possibility of me then transmitting it on to vulnerable/at risk groups, such as children too young for the vaccination or family members who have respiratory issues. 

Perhaps Citi could move the anti-vaxxer to a role that doens't require in-office working?

Last year it was also expected to hit $100,000. Here and here, for example.

Keep making the $100,000 predictions & eventually you'll be right.

Buy the dip, to the moon. Whatever. At least we're not discussing NFTs.

@Ketharaman - I'm looking forward to the option to have personalised fonts in cheque books. 

Passive investing - instead of active.

So, Indexes, ETFS  & REITs.

Job done.

As a retail investor one of my objectives is to, "invest in the world I want to live in" so ESG funds on the face of it seem ideal, the other objective is to generate a return on my investment.

The problem I find, is with indexes that are available to me that are touted as ESG, still don't seem to match my criteria for Green/ethical investments. Vanguard, the default option for many a retail investor, have ESG funds such as the ESG Developed World All Cap Equity Index Fund, but a quick look at the companies that comprise that fund includes Nestle.

I would have expected certain companies to have been screened out, so I can avoid the need to go thru' a list of a fund's entire holdings to ensure that it doesn't include the obvious ones: arms/defence firms, tobacco, or companies with otherwise questionable ethical or environmental issues.

A better solution is indeed needed!

Doing a quick bit of digging, BitcoinPoint's commission is currently £2.70 fixed + 3.99%, so if you want to cash out a tenner's worth of BTC it'll actually cost you approx £13.10.

The only time I've needed physical cash in the last 6 months was to pay the plumber. All other times it's been for shopping - using either contactless or pinpad.

It's not an abandonment of cash rather than a lack of opportunity to use it (ie. down the pub).
