It is a bit annoying to open the account in that first place because I think you needed an address to open the account and an account to get a lease. It’s worth planning ahead with your workplace or coworkers to use a temporary address if this might be an issue.

No, you can get an overdraft that will allow you to exceed your balance, and they would charge interest on the overdraft. The app works well for transferring money to other individuals or paying bills, instantaneously and for free. US banking is a hot mess compared to the UK system.

Hello, BlueSky 👋

Let’s try a thread.

We need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.

American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀

First up: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

Why are tenured women feeling pushed out of the career they worked so hard for??? I expected most of the results in this paper, but that bit sucks. So. Much.
