Not in the UK, not anymore and those that do still exist are remnants that don't accept new members. Work place pensions now are like investment accounts, except you have some degree of matching from the company and the government tops

It's more like a screen saver. You haven't interacted with the app in X amount of time, it suspends loading the next episode until you confirm you're still there. No more nefarious or creepy than a screen saver.

3% is 3%. 3% on £100 = £3. 3% on $100 = $3. If both banks invest in whatevs (local currency) paying 5%, then they get 5%, pay you 3% and make 2%. Are you trying to reference relative inflation? Or something about the USD makes it difficul
