Image
EPHRAIM - The name of Ephraim's newest restaurant is exactly what its proprietors want it to be — a fresh take on dining in Door County. Open since July, Fresh Take 42 owners Asche Rider and Dave Reera hope to make their place just north of The Red Putter Mini Golf stand out from the many others on the Peninsula, from the actual food being served to the service and look. "We picked the name because (the restaurant) is a little bit of a fresh take on restaurants," Rider said in an interview with the Advocate. "We try to work with fresh food, we want to buy from local farmers, local purveyors as much as possible."

But fast forward to Monday morning, and it hasn't been a good launch for CIBC.

Many are waiting hours on the phone to get payments addressed, only to have calls hung up after 2 hours on hold. Complete fail: @cibc takes over @costcocanada's Mastercard business from @CapitalOneCA, blocks account access from March 4-7, yet fails to address payments due in the meantime. Waited on hold for @CIBC for 2 hours, 8 minutes before they spontaneously disconnected. — Christian Newman ☕️ (@XianNewman) March 7, 2022 @costcocanada...

Image
Photo: iStock Photo: iStock The latest results of the European Central Bank (ECB)'s climate stress tests incorporated the energy performance of buildings as a contributing metric to determine banks' resilience to climate shocks. It revealed that European banks' mortgage books could be exposed to a higher credit risk because of this. "The test was a learning exercise," a source at CaixaBank tells Euromoney.
