OPINION: It’s being dubbed a “cashback war”. Some banks are offering large sums as cashback after people take a new loan with them. BNZ is offering up to $20,000 cashback , and state-owned Kiwibank up to $10,000 . Westpac is offering a prize draw with five prizes of $50,000. These are time-limited offers for new borrowers, and mortgage brokers see them as part of a strategy the banks have to rebuild margins on home loans. READ MORE: Here's how banks set home loan rates What to do when home loans are harder to get, and approved amounts are smaller New lending laws a 'nightmare' for people seeking home loans Cashbacks have generally been the province of lower tier car financiers. These were high-cost car loans marketed with the promise of the lender “giving” the borrower both a loan and some cashback to spend on anything they liked. There’s no such thing as free money, and in my book this was pure exploitation of people in dire need of cash.

THOUSANDS of people who are not eligible for a council tax rebate could still get up to £150 free cash to help with the cost of living crisis. Four in five households are now receiving council tax rebates automatically - the giveaway is part of a package of measures from the Government to help struggling households across the UK. You must be in council tax bands A-D to qualify for the payment, which was announced by the government in February to help with the cost of living crisis. While households who pay their council tax by direct debit will get the money automatically, others will have to apply. The deadline for this has now been extended until roughly September 30, 2022.

A cryptocurrency hedge fund set up by two former investment bankers has collapsed owing more than half a billion dollars. Three Arrows Capital entered liquidation on Wednesday after a British Virgin Islands court ruled in favour of creditors seeking repayment of debts. Shortly before its demise, the hedge fund had defaulted on a $674m loan, triggering creditors to seek its liquidation. Blockchain analysis business Nansen estimated that Three Arrows had the equivalent of $10bn under management, though the valuation of cryptocurrencies in real-world money tends to be much more volatile than for other asset classes. Two partners from US consulting firm Teneo have been appointed by the BVI court to handle the insolvency, Bloomberg reported. A website will be set up for creditors to register their claims, with a source telling the newswire that a sale of Three Arrows’ remaining assets is possible. Three Arrows did not respond to requests for comment. Teneo declined to comment. … [Read more...] about Crypto hedge fund collapses after defaulting on $674m loan

Families on low incomes are enduring a “year of financial fear” and making grim choices such as falling behind on bills, going without essentials or taking on expensive debt, a report has found. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) said the cost-of-living crisis and a decade of social security cuts and underfunding are taking a heavy toll. It used a survey of about 4,000 people on low household incomes in May and June (the bottom 40%, which equates to an income of under £25,000 for a couple with no children), for the report. Rather than making the trade-off between heating or eating, one in five (21%) low income households were unable to do either – going without enough food as well as being unable to keep their homes warm, researchers found. Six in 10 (60%) had gone without essentials since the start of 2022, or, had cut down on or skipped meals, or gone hungry in the previous 30 days. Recommended Over £130m handed to housing providers named and … [Read more...] about Families on low incomes suffering ‘year of financial fear’ – charity

Nearly 60 percent of respondents to a recent poll on the controversial holiday said they thought observing Columbus Day was a "good idea."
