Energy Bill Support and AI in Banking

More than 700,000 households have missed out on 拢300m of government support for energy bills designed to help people who live off-grid.

New data shows more than 700,000 households across Great Britain have missed out on 拢300 million worth of support with their energy bills. The government said in February 900,000 households were eligible to apply for a one-off 拢400 payment because they did not have an energy supplier that would apply it automatically. The government said it had spent more than 拢50m 'supporting households without a domestic energy supplier', but this data suggests just over 拢300 million of the possible 拢360 million in Great Britain had not been claimed before the deadline.

The big high street banks have been told to be more open with their customers about savings rates - what will that mean in practice?

And could Artificial Intelligence transform how banks decide whether to lend us money?
