How Bankinter's takeover of EVO affects bank customers in Spain
In July, EVO digital bank will become part of a bigger bank in Spain, Bankinter. The takeover means that the EVO, which was founded in 2012, has now become Bankinter's digital bank instead. If you're one of EVO Banco's 330,000 active customers (767,000 total) you will have recently received a letter explaining the merger and letting you know it will now be managed by Bankinter. For now former EVO Banco customers who had purchased financial products will maintain the same contractual terms they had before the acquisition, until the technological integration takes place and the bank informs them otherwise. Usually, banks standardise the terms and conditions of different products when a merger occurs, but Bankinter has not yet announced how this process will happen. It's important to remember though, that they will inform you in advance of changes that will be made. New products no longer available The main differences is that you can no longer purchase the old Banco EVO products, even if you were a former customer. This will probably include EVO's mortgage, one of the most competitive hipotecas on the market with an interest rate as low as 2.05 percent. Website and app will continue working until July Once the integration takes place in July, EVO customers will be considered Bankinter customers under the same conditions as their existing customers. For now though, you can continue using EVO Bank channels, such as the website and app. "Customers will continue to use their existing EVO products just as before and will use EVO's usual customer service channels. When the technological integration takes place, scheduled for July, Bankinter will assume EVO's customer portfolio," Bankinter sources told website Finect. When this happens, former EVO customers will be able to access all Bankinter products and services. Smart card changes to a credit card Another change is that EVO's former tarjeta inteligente or smart card which was a debit card is also set to become a standard credit card, with the difference that it will allow you to withdraw money from Bankinter ATMs. This is causing some complaints from customers. There are, however, multiple other card options, such as the Duo Debit Card, the Duo Credit Card, as well as the Visa Solidarios card to collaborate with NGO projects. "In addition, they will be able to access virtual cards that are highly sought after by EVO customers," the bank added. IBAN numbers change With regards to the former Smart Account, the IBAN number will also change, this could be an issue for those who have direct debits set up as these will no longer work. This means you will have to contact utility companies, the tax authorities and social security to change it. Interest savings account A further change is that your balance will be transferred to the interest-bearing savings account daily instead of every two weeks like EVO customers had before. According to Bankinter customers "will have access to a multitude of interest-bearing accounts offering up to 5 percent APR the first year and up to 2 percent APR the second. Covered limit The merger has another important change with regards to the amount you hold or held at either institution. The limit on the amount covered by the Spanish Deposit Guarantee Fund in the event of a bank failure is €100,000 per institution. This now applies to the balance held by customers in their accounts at both banks. "Your deposits and checking accounts are covered by the Deposit Guarantee Fund. Don't forget that the balance of the deposits and accounts you had at EVO Banco is added to those you hold or open at Bankinter up to a combined limit of €100,000," the bank explained. Mortgages If you have a mortgage with EVO this will remain under the same conditions, but the new offering will be made through Bankinter. "For mortgages and loans, the portfolio migrates to Bankinter without changes," the bank claims. Pensions Pensions with Bankinter will now have a much broader offering including Premium Plans, Lifecycle Plans, Fixed Income Plans, Variable Income Plans, Mixed Plans and Plans for the Self-Employed, in addition to Sustainable Pension Plans. This means you have more options than before

Legal eagle who bought $6.5m Bondi house lists it for $12m
The former Solicitor-General of Australia Justin Gleeson SC and his author and academic wife Dr Bernadette Brennan are selling their Bondi house with a price guide of $12 million. Positioned in between Bondi and Tamarama beaches, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house has 180 degree ocean views to Ben Buckler. Set on 330 square metres, the luxury residence spans four floors with lift access to all levels and includes triple auto-garaging with an EV charger and a solar-heated salt-chlorine pool with an outdoor shower. Within walking distance to the Coastal Walk, Bondi Icebergs and the beaches in between, the couple purchased the home for $6.5 million when it was built brand new in 2017. The Gleeson-Brennan family were Walsh Bay locals for more than a decade before making the move to the eastern beaches where they plan to stay and downsize locally. Gleeson returned to the Bar and the chambers he founded, Sydney's Banco, after his resignation following his public fallout with Attorney General George Brandis in 2016. Meanwhile, Brennan has won several accolades for her published work, including her award-winning literary biography A Writing Life: Helen Garner and Her Work. Their home is scheduled to go to auction on 31 May. It is being sold through Simon Exleton of Pillinger who said current interest is between $10 million to $11 million.

ロ特使がトランプ政権高官と会談、ウクライナ侵攻後で最高位の訪米
[ワシントン ２日 ロイター] - ロシア政府系ファンドの責任者で、国際経済投資協力を担当するキリル・ドミトリエフ特使が２日、ワシントンで米政府高官と会談したと、事情に詳しい米政府関係者２人が明らかにした。 米政府関係者によると、ロシアとのやり取りを主導するウィットコフ中東担当特使が先週、ドミトリエフ氏を米国に招待したという。 ドミトリエフ氏はスタンフォード大学で学び、ゴールドマン・サックスに勤務した経歴を持ち、トランプ政権の主要メンバーとも親しい関係にある。２０２２年のウクライナ侵攻以来、訪米したロシア高官では最高位となる。 会談内容は分かっていない。 トランプ大統領は先月３０日、ロシアのプーチン大統領に腹を立てていると述べ、ウクライナ戦争終結に向けた自身の取り組みをロシアが妨害していると感じれば、ロシア産原油の買い手に２５─５０％の関税を課すと警告した。ロシアはサウジアラビアに次ぐ世界第２位の原油輸出国。 もっと見る トランプ政権が２日に公表した相互関税の国別リストにロシアは含まれていなかった。一方、ウクライナには１０％の関税が課された。 私たちの行動規範： Erin Banco トムソン・ロイター Erin Banco is a national security correspondent focusing on the intelligence community.
