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.
The paper’s main image is of Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian opposition activist, during a court hearing in Moscow where he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for treason.

The government confirmed that the men were taken into custody on suspicion of terrorism offences.
In contrast, Axios highlights the context with the headline, “Five men arrested near RAF Fairford released on bail,” focusing on the recent development. Meanwhile, CNN emphasises international implications, stating, “Rubio says ‘foreign actor’ involved in alleged terror plot targeting British base used by US.” This focuses on potential foreign involvement, which may frame the story as having broader geopolitical consequences.
