La Banque d'Irlande impose un taux négatif sur les retraites !

Wouaaa là ça va commencer à faire très mal dans les chaumières. La Bank of Ireland a décidé d'appliquer un taux (négatif, précisons le) de -0,65% sur toutes les retraites versées aux clients dès le mois de septembre !!!

Ajoutez une inflation positive de 5%, et vous avez une apocalypse financière en préparation, avec une ruée sur l'or supplémentaire:

"From September, Bank of Ireland is to begin imposing negative interest rates on cash held in pensions, meaning customers will be charged €65 a year for every €10,000.

The bank said: "European Central Bank interest rates have been negative since 2014.

Since then banks have been subject to negative interest rates for holding funds overnight and market indications are that rates will remain low for some time. "As a result, we have applied negative rates on deposits for large institutional and corporate customers since 2016.

We recently wrote to 14 investment and pension trustee firms to inform them about a rate change to their accounts, which is reflective of the negative interest rate environment.

"The average amount held on deposit by investment and pension trustee firms is in excess of around €100m, therefore it is no longer sustainable for the Bank to continue with the current rate of interest. "We provided 3 months' advance notification of this rate change to our investment and pension trustee firm customers."

Retraités, ce n'est que le début de votre scalp. Du coup, le reste sera impacté également :

"The Ulster Bank Chief Executive, Jane Howard, said: "In terms of Ulster Bank, we did introduce negative rates earlier this year and we've introduced it for larger businesses with balances of over €1m", sauf que dans 3 ou 4 mois, comme les banques allemandes, ce sera dès le premier euro.

Voilà le résultat d'une monnaie qui ne vaut plus rien, l'euro maintenu artificiellement en vie. Lire ici le Irish Examiner.
