Last year saw a ban on excessive overdraft fees, two cuts in the Bank of England base rate and the impact of coronavirus – meaning some banks withdrew accounts, according to financial information site Moneyfacts, while others stopped offering cash incentives to new customers.
"At the moment, consumers have the choice of paying for a packaged account, that's one that comes with other services, or a simple account that would only require a charge to be paid if borrowing in an overdraft or missing payments," says Rachel Springall of Moneyfacts.

Tales Of Our Times: Parties Reap Dark Money From Their Own Members In Congress
Big money is the currency of the constant tactical strikes practiced by the two giant political parties. Strikes launched against the enemy party fill the news. Yet big parties rarely mention how they strong-arm election winners on their side. This column updates the issue of big money in politics. The last half of the column describes the money source that both parties fully endorse on the quiet. That source is party dues in Congress.
During primary elections, party leaders add a lot of attacks against others in their own party. We saw this practice in the recent complex Democratic debates. Strikes were mild and few among the original twenty-some challengers. The attacks openly grew in number and strength among the final seven candidates, who included two billionaires and many multimillionaires. Allegations persist about fat cats "buying" elections, but this theory is repeatedly disproved by election outcomes.
With money, and waste, China fights for chip independence - South Florida Sun Sentinel - South
Liu Fengfeng had more than a decade under his belt at one of the world's most prominent technology companies before he realized where the real gold rush in China was taking place.

So last year Liu, 40, left his job at Foxconn, the Taiwanese giant that assembles iPhones in China for Apple. He found a niche — high-end films and adhesives for chip products — and quickly raised $5 million. Today, his startup has 36 employees, most of them in the tech hub of Shenzhen, and is aiming to start mass production next year.

Take stock on lessons learned about money in 2020 - StarTribune.com
The start of a new year is always an opportune time to take stock of household finances, but the exercise seems especially important this time around.
The pandemic has been tough on household finances for so many. Millions lost their jobs while millions more earned less with fewer work hours. The unemployed and underemployed dipped into savings and borrowed to pay the bills.
