| Major bank set to hike credit card interest rates by up to 50% in weeks |
 |
|
Nationwide is set to hike credit card interest rates by up to 50% in weeks. The bank has announced that from 1 April it will be increasing the representative rate for existing credit card customers by up to five percentage points. The plan, which could see customers’ interest rates jump by up to 50%, will affect customers with the Member, Select, Nationwide, Gold, and Classic credit cards. Nationwide’s maximum annual percentage rate (APR) for new and existing customers will be kept at its current rate of 24.9%. And customers will be given the option of opting out of the rate increase but their card will be frozen for new transactions. A Nationwide spokesperson told Money: “Despite these changes our interest rates will still be below the market average. We will not be applying increases for those in and near financial difficulty or who have been in debt for a long period.” |

| Hamas could transfer bodies of 2 hostages to Egypt in exchange for half of the prisoners Israel should have released Saturday |
|
A deal is emerging in which Hamas will transfer two bodies of slain hostages to Egypt, while Israel releases 301 of the 602 prisoners it was scheduled to release last Saturday, according to Channel 12. If that is carried out successfully, then the same formula could be repeated with two more slain hostages, and the remaining 301 prisoners scheduled to be released in the first phase, says Channel 12. Going through Egypt would likely mean that the ceremony Hamas put on during the release of the Bibas boys and Oded Lifshitz last Thursday would not be repeated. Israel is insisting that it will not release the prisoners until it verifies that the released hostages are indeed whom they expect to receive. Last week, Hamas gave Israel the body of a Gazan woman instead of Shiri Bibas. The first stage is slated to end on Saturday. |
