Negative Rates for the People Arrive as One Small German Bank Surrenders

``This week, a German cooperative savings bank in the Bavarian village of Gmund am Tegernsee -- population 5,767 -- said it'll start charging retail customers to hold their cash. From September, for savings in excess of 100,000 euros ($111,710), the community's Raiffeisen bank will take back 0.4 percent. That's a direct pass through of the current level of the ECB's negative deposit rate.''
