Bank of China expands in London
The Bank of China expands into the United Kingdom. While previously only grant loans to Chinese residents in the country of the crown, they are now guaranteed to all citizens.
His offer seems to be very competitive and could crush competition.
Now the British banks are reluctant to lend and have brought down the housing market, but BoC could change the situation by extending the credit squeeze.
Even analysts are hoping the arrival of other institutions, so as to encourage greater competition.
For now the eastern country has a policy very focused and grant loans only to people with special requirements (especially those requesting loans for homes for rent), but soon could hit every sector.
After the attempted assault on the economy, we should expect that to finance?

Maximum overdraft – The effects
The measure is time of year, but millions of depositors will establish the effects are only now. This is the Law 2 of 2009, which eliminates the Board of maximum overdraft (CMS) for current accounts in the red for less than 30 days. For new account holders the provision had immediate effect for all other banks must adjust their conditions by the end of June. Early indications show that gathered about the abolition of CMS goes hand in hand with the introduction of other committees.
Schematically, for retail customers has highlighted three situations: customer must be executed only in red with customer trust used within the limits prescribed, customer trust that goes beyond what is granted. Commission payable in these three cases varies from institution to institution. Here are some examples:
Monte dei Paschi di Siena
Gruppo Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, does know, has reformulated the commissions under the second principle of rationalization, clarity, simplicity and protection against customers. For those who go red without having a trust, there is an urgent inquiry commission with a maximum of $ 100 per quarter, is applied only if the overdraft exceeds 100 Euros once in three months even if you be in red on many occasions.
For customers who ask for a credit limit, however, triggered the consideration on the agreement, which replaces the Board of maximum overdraft, costs of settlement of accounts assigned, the costs of investigating and managing trust is pro tempore (that applies to the period where the client benefits from the availability of funds) and the maximum rate of 0.94% is expected to be approximately three months (3.75% annually). If you go over the credit limit there are no additional fees, but triggered the interest rate set for the crossovers.
BNL BNP Paribas
With BNL BNP Paribas, the customer will not be executed only in red pays the interest rate plus a fixed fee of 12.5 Euros for each episode, but only for cases of “red” from 21 Euros. For the provision of the exposure, the fee is 0.9% of the amount calculated on the duration of the exposure itself.
Credem
For customers not entrusted Credem, there is a commission for the days of real discovery: 2.5 Euros per day for bands of EUR 1,000 or fraction thereof, with a maximum of 150 quarterly euro overruns are exempt liquids or less 100. Credem not apply to individuals on the Committee for making available funds. For those who are entrusted and below a threshold triggering the application of an increase in the rate agreed.
Ubi Banca
The UBI Banca Group has introduced a fee for making available funds plus a fixed cost recovery. For those who go to red without trust, the penalty shoot overrun. Furthermore, it was grouped under the heading “Expenditure Account Management” a series of charges payable by customers in various capacities.
Intesa Sanpaolo
Intesa Sanpaolo in the home was established for accounts that are not entrusted to the Committee in red shots overdraft: 2 Euros per day per thousand or fraction of a euro debit balance with a maximum of $ 100 per quarter (excluding debit balances to 100 Euros). For clients assigned to it, is only expected to pay an interest rate that varies according to whether you’re into it or spill (in which case the rate shall be applied to the entire amount).
Unicredit
Unicredit Bank (including Bank of Roma and Banco di Sicilia) does not apply to a committee assigned to 2 euro per 1,000 euro per day or part thereof in case of red. The amount is applied on the extra fee, even those who have an exposure is boundless. Those who remain in the establishment, pays immediate availability funds (from 0.1 to 0.5% agreement) calculated on the duration of the exposure.
Conclusions
The picture is quite articulate. Moreover, the ABI has indicated that it expects the application of rules by the banks but does not want to interfere in the business practices of individual institutions. The emergence of these new committees and non-uniformity of application methods for the time being has no place even in the portal PattiChiari comparison of current accounts, where it is still only provided the voice Cms.
