- Icesave cuts interest rate on savings account | IceNews
Icesave, a UK savings account offered by Landsbanki, cut the interest rate on its popular savings account to 6.05% last week. Instead, it suggested customers switch to its fixed-rate account, which pays 6.7% regardless of cuts to the UK base rate. Investment experts say short-term fixed-rate accounts holding under £35,000 could be the safest option, and Moneyfacts' Rachel Thrussel called fixed-rate accounts a safe investment. Other banks also offer rates not seen in seven years, including West Bromwich at 6.55% on instant access and 6.75% on short-term fixed accounts from Anglo Irish Bank and the West Bromwich building society. All UK savings up to £35,000 are covered by the FSCS.

- IDBI Bank 60.72% stake sale to Canada Fairfax: Should FD holders and savings account customers worry? Experts decode
The sale of a combined 60.72% stake in IDBI Bank, held by the Government of India and LIC, to M/s 10955230 Canada Inc., whose parent is Fairfax Financial Holdings, awaits completion after the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the strategic disinvestment. IDBI Bank's Q1 FY27 presentation for the quarter ended June 2026 showed total deposits of ₹3,25,757 crore, up 10% year-on-year. Experts say there is no immediate reason for depositors to worry: repayment obligations do not change, RBI oversight continues, and deposits are insured by DICGC up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank. Existing FDs keep their contracted rates, while rates on new deposits and savings account terms, such as minimum balances and charges, are more likely to change. Experts advise against withdrawing or closing FDs because of the sale and recommend watching official updates; reports indicate retrenchment of the roughly 16,000 employees is restricted for at least one year after new management takes control.

- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
