Bank price brochures are full of scandalous fees, the amount of unemployment benefit will fall in 2024 and the conditions for using restaurant vouchers will change from January 1st. Here are the 3 money news of the day.
Confusing bank charges
French banks are among the most expensive in Europe. And by searching their brochures, we find many tariff lines who question. Fees linked to a real estate loan and inheritance fees are free and sometimes make a big difference, even if it means confusing observers.
According to our recent statement, a simple inheritance of 15,000 euros is billed at 0…450 euros depending on the bank. Tariff lines whose invoicing therefore appears arbitrary and unfair. Here is an anthology produced by MoneyVox.
The allowance paid by Ple emploi will decrease
The draft convention for unemployment insurance which should come into force in January 2024 provides for a new calculation of unemployment benefit. Until today, unemployment benefits are calculated by multiplying the number of days in the month with a daily allowancebut they could now be over 30 daysregardless of the length of the month, a loss of 5 to 6 days over a year.
For Denis Gravouil of the CGT, it is a reduction in rights which is hitting the unemployed just a few months after the reform which reduced the rights of beneficiaries over the duration of compensation. Here is our explanation of this new change.
Bad news for your restaurant tickets
Change your habits adopted since the summer of 2022 to spend your restaurant vouchers. Since October 2022, the 4 million employees benefiting from meal vouchers have seen the ceiling increase to 25 euros to pay for their food purchases, but from January 1, 2024, you will not be no longer allowed to pay for all your shopping at the supermarket. Only directly consumable products will again be affected by this payment method. Find the list of purchases that are excluded in favor of instant soups, triangle sandwiches or fruits and vegetables.
