Financial Times - Savers withdrew nearly $60bn from three US banks as Apple raises heat

Summary of the front page

The Financial Times says savers withdrew nearly $60bn from US banks Charles Schwab, State Street and M&T in the first quarter as customers moved their money in search of higher interest rates. Traditional banks could face further threat because of Apple and Goldman Sachs’ new savings account in the US that will pay 4.15% interest a year, it reports.
