Neo Financial, the new Canadian FinTech startup focused on challenging the status quo in banking, has begun rolling out its services in Western Canada.

Neo Financial is a Prairies-based startup created by SkipTheDishes founders Andrew Chau and Jeff Adamson, alongside Kris Read. It is the newest challenger bank entrant into the Canadian financial market and is on a mission to re-imagine everyday banking.

After spending the first year and a half of its existence building out its tech and banking infrastructure, Neo has officially brought its financial services offering to market.

“What we’re building is a foundation for a bank that can compete with the Big Five.”
– Andrew Chau, Neo Financial

Over the last couple of weeks, Neo began offering its savings account, Mastercard, and merchant rewards program to a select number of individuals on its 30,000-plus waitlist. With a current focus on Western Canada, Neo hopes to have

U.S. taxpayers did not earn a fair return on the 2008 government bailout of financial institutions, according to new research from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business.

When the government completed its Troubled Asset Relief Program in 2014, the results were widely described as taxpayers getting back their full investment, plus interest.

“This is a misleading claim. Unfortunately, this narrative has found a large audience and it misses the point,” said Amiyatosh Purnanandam, professor and chair of finance. “The real question is whether the return was good enough for the risk, not whether it was positive.”

Purnanandam and Ross doctoral student Thomas Flanagan recently published a paper examining the issue, and Purnanandam discussed their research:

What’s the problem with the way the TARP returns are often described?

Taxpayers poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the financial system in 2008 to assist financial firms

At age 18, you’re old enough to vote, get a driver’s license, enlist in the military, attend college and get married. However, when Congress approved the first round of coronavirus stimulus payments in March, most young American adults weren’t eligible to receive a check of their own — or any money at all. An estimated 13 million young people aged 17 to 24 who were claimed as dependents were excluded from qualifying for a stimulus payment. 

The latest stimulus proposal passed by the House of Representatives last week (which some call the Heroes Act 2.0) still includes a second stimulus check of up to $1,200 for eligible adults, and adds $500 for any person claimed as a dependent, regardless of age. But that doesn’t

WA Liberal senator Mathias Cormann will join The West Live today to discuss why the Federal Government wants fortress WA to reopen and to create a national definition of a COVID-19 hotspot.

Australia’s longest-serving Finance Minister will join The West Live this morning ahead of a National Cabinet meeting to discuss State border closures and the definition of COVID-19 hotspots.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is expected to fight to re-open borders at the conference.

Mr Cormann has previously spoken out about the reopening of his home state, claiming WA Premier Mark McGowan’s border decision was politically driven.

The West Australian yesterday revealed Mr McGowan’s already sky-high approval rating had improved from 87 per cent in June to 91 per cent this month, while 92 per cent of sandgropers polled supported his border stance.

While Mr Cormann claims WA’s borders are not going to be left out of the discussion, The

Once you reach age 18, you’re old enough to vote, get a driver’s license, enlist in the military, attend college and get married. However, when Congress approved the first round of coronavirus stimulus payments in March, most young American adults weren’t eligible to receive a check of their own — or any money at all. An estimated 13 million young people aged 17 to 24 who were claimed as dependents were excluded from qualifying for a stimulus payment. 

It’s possible that another stimulus bill would change the qualifications (here’s where negotiations stand). But if it doesn’t, young people may still not get their own check for up to $1,200. All may leave you wondering when it’s possible for someone under age 25 to
