The annual listing of great places to work in the UK now includes Admiral in the top 10, the only business from the financial services sector to be found there.
It has been a reward for all their hardwork it seems, since Admiral also received the special status of laureate because it has been in the top 50 for the last 5 years. One of the key elements of any great place to work is trust between employees and managers, something Admiral has been commended for.
This fantastic achievement is sure to be seen as just reward for all the staff at the company whether they work in the Admiral car insurance department or any other part of the business. They have all worked together to make the organisation what it is today.
Citibank is providing Euro transfers and third party account payments with no fees to its customers.
Covering 31 European countries the Citibank initiative will get money into any bank account in Europe within 3 days. The fee free element applies to Citibank current accounts and savings accounts that use the Euro as their currency. Accounts that use a currency other than the Euro will have a charge of 2 percent levied for currency conversion.
A spokesperson from Citibank saw this new initiative as one that would speed up the whole banking process in Europe and make the transfer of money inexpensive and safe. It is expected to be especially popular with customers who have overseas properties and also those who send payments to bank accounts in different European countries.

Sainsburys Bank is advising those travelling abroad to get their currency arrangements sorted out in good time to avoid losing money on commission charges and lower exchange rates.
Travellers who sort their currency out at the airport, as well as those who arrange their currency abroad, will find themselves out of pocket compared with doing it all in the UK prior to trave believes Sainsburys Bank. Waiting to the last minute leaves travellers with no options but to take the poorer exchange rates on offer and ultimately receiving less in their pocket.
A Sainsburys Bank spokesman hoped that travellers would bear this advice in mind. He felt it would be a shame if, after trying to get the best deals all year round on their purchases, they let themselves down on something so important like foreign currency.
