Foreign Currency Account in UK

This means we're required by law to keep your money safe by storing it in a low-risk financial institution - in Europe this is in our UK account with Barclays, in the US this is in our US account with Wells Fargo. These accounts are reserved for customer money, this means your money is kept in a separate account from the money we use to run the business. In the unlikely event TransferWise ceased to exist, your money would be paid back from this account, ie from Barclays or Wells Fargo, however it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and therefore is deposited at your own risk. You also cannot earn interest on the money in your TransferWise account. Millions of customers trust TransferWise with their money. Graph Paper. Science Teaching Series Internet Resources I.

'Obamacare' individual mandate has no teeth

Lots of self-employed people have no health coverage because they can’t afford it. Starting in 2014, these people will run up against the most controversial portion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") — the individual health insurance mandate. This is the requirement that most legal residents of the United States obtain at least minimal health insurance coverage by 2014. The word "mandate" sounds pretty serious. But what will actually happen if you don’t obtain health insurance by 2014? The health care law says that individuals who can afford health insurance coverage and are not otherwise exempt must purchase minimum essential health coverage or pay a penalty to the IRS with their tax returns.
