The EUR 15 million EIB loan, representing the EIB’s largest ever support for financial services in Cyprus was formally agreed by Alexis Pantazis and Emilios Markou, Executive Directors of Hellas Direct and Lilyana Pavlova, European Investment Bank Vice President responsible for Cyprus during an online signing ceremony on Thursday 8th July.
“We are really proud that Hellas Direct is the first Cypriot company to be backed by a venture debt investment from the EIB.

MNsure is reminding people they have two weeks left to sign up for private health insurance during a special enrollment period that will end on Friday, July 16.
New benefits – available only through MNsure – include increased tax credits and cost-sharing reductions that can reduce premiums as well as the amount you pay for health care costs. In addition, more middle-income Minnesotans who previously were not eligible for financial help are now eligible for these benefits. And if you received unemployment income at any point in 2021, you may be able to find a plan through MNsure with a premium as low as $ 0 per month.
Minnesotans who received unemployment in 2021 may qualify for a new, 60-day special enrollment period, separate from the COVID-19 special enrollment, to shop for coverage through MNsure.
Current MNsure enrollees who qualify for an unemployment special enrollment period also have the option of changing to silver level plans, to access benefits only available at the silver level that greatly reduce out-of-pocket costs for in-network services. Find out more about the unemployment benefit through MNsure.

Another Twitter user wrote: “Just had a phone call from this number saying that there was an issue with my National Insurance number.
“Don’t engage with it. #scam.”
“Just got this #scam call with an automated message telling me that my National Insurance number will be terminated. If you do get the call, don’t press one,” someone else penned.
Pauline Smith, Head of Action Fraud, said: “We are asking the public to remain vigilant and be cautious of any automated calls they receive mentioning their National Insurance number becoming compromised.

Commenting on the report, Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “The government’s reply to the ‘Tax after Coronavirus’ report was an emphatic ‘not now!’
“Some potential tax changes have been taken off the table entirely, while others have been pushed very firmly down to the other end of it.
“While the economy is still recovering, and we’re still uncertain whether new variants will divert the path out of the crisis, the government isn’t going to make any sudden moves.
“Nobody is going to touch pensions tax relief, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or stamp duty until we’re on a much firmer footing.

National Insurance scams have sadly become rife throughout the COVID-19 crisis, however, there will be some who have not yet experienced this. Scammers are stepping up their efforts to attack Britons, and it is important to be on guard against their tricks. The latest scam involves a phone call which people have reported receiving in recent hours and days.
If failing to do so, the caller says criminal proceedings will be started against an individual, and they could be forced to repay thousands in fraudulent transactions.
As individuals are dealing with their National Insurance number, the caller may also ask a person to confirm this detail, as well as name, date of birth and address.
This is a simple way for the fraudster to harvest personal and sensitive information from the unsuspecting call recipient.
It could go on to be used to try to gain access to accounts, or steal a person’s identity.
It is important to note none of the information on this scam call is true, and so Britons should always put the phone down before they can be exploited.
People should never hand over any sensitive information, particularly as official Government organisations would never ask for a person to do so.
It may also be able to offer individuals advice about how to continue to protect themselves.
Several individuals issued stark warnings about the National Insurance scam call via social media.
One person wrote: “I had it last week. Almost answered as it had a local code as the number.”
Another said: “All the ones I’ve had have come from numbers with the first eight digits the same as mine, oddly enough.”
A third individual penned: “Got yet another scam voicemail pretending to be NCA who were going to suspend my National Insurance number. These are annoying to me, but for someone who is vulnerable it could lead to ID theft. Always hang up, never press one.”
A fourth person warned: “Ignore them – it’s a scam! Your NI number doesn’t expire until you die.”
And one person who had sadly been victimised, warned others to stay alert.
They said: “This happened to me, and they ended up taking £100 from my account! They are so very bold.
“They were so convincing as well.”

“It is likely that firms will no longer offer unsustainably low-priced deals to some customers.
“However, the FCA estimates that these measures will save consumers £4.2bn over 10 years, by removing the loyalty penalty and making the market work better.”
The new rules will also make it easier for consumers to cancel automatic renewals of their policies and force insurance firms to do more to consider how they offer fair value to customers.
Sheldon Mills, executive director for consumers and competition at the FCA, said: “These measures will put an end to the very high prices paid by many loyal customers.”

So, any pay periods where a person has earned under the lower earnings limit will not count towards the total.
Similarly, there is a slightly different rule for self-employed individuals to bear in mind when it comes to qualifying years of National Insurance.
At present, the self-employed must earn at least £125 per week, or £6,515 across the year to be counted towards their state pension.
What is important to note, however, is that qualifying years do not have to be consecutive, meaning work breaks are possible.

Drivers may have their policy axed by insurers for driving without the correct level of cover they need as special allowances introduced for the pandemic come to an end. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has confirmed it will be “necessary” for drivers to ensure they have the right insurance class from April 30.
The rules were relaxed in lockdown, allowing drivers to make other journeys that were not part of their usual routine without needing to upgrade their policy.
Drivers have been urged to contact their provider if there are “ongoing changes” to the journey they made before the pandemic.
The ABI said: “As restrictions change and travel to workplaces becomes more routine, it will again become necessary for drivers to check their insurance cover is appropriate for their needs.
“You will need to speak with your insurer or broker if there are ongoing changes to your working and driving activities since taking out the policy.

Although this coverage will continue, they warn insurers “may wish to be informed” so drivers are still urged to contact their provider.
Ryan Fulthorpe, motoring expert at Go Compare said the return to previous rules could mean drivers will need to “upgrade their cover”.
He said: “It’s been just over a year since the first national Covid lockdown and, as the latest restrictions begin to be lifted, we are all finding our new normal.
“For many people, this means getting back to the office or other workplace.
“To reflect changes in driving behaviour as commuting and driving between different workplaces starts to pick up, insurers have reviewed their position.
“From May, drivers who insured their car only for social, domestic or pleasure purposes, but following the pandemic now use their car to travel to work, will have to upgrade their cover.”
According to Compare the Market, a driver’s ‘class of use’ is used to determine overall risk behind the wheel.
Commuting to work could see prices slightly higher as drivers will be travelling at one of the busiest times of the day and therefore exposed to more risk.
Despite the higher costs, Go Compare has warned road users who fail to update their details to reflect recent changes could face “severe penalties”.
Mr Fulthorp added: “Following the end of insurers’ pledges to automatically extend cover during lockdown, it’s essential that drivers make sure their car insurance covers them for their new normal usage.
“If a motorist fails to declare that they drive to work, or drive as part of their work, this could invalidate their insurance and driving without insurance carries severe penalties.
“So, if you’ve started driving to work since the pandemic and you are unsure whether you’re covered, the best thing to do is to contact your insurer immediately so your policy can be updated if necessary.
“Likewise, it’s essential to tell your insurer if you’ve changed job or moved address since you arranged your insurance.”
