The $2.4 billion request for the Wall Street regulator would put 1,434 officers on the compliance beat, up 4% from seven years ago.

By paying more now, a young homeowner could be done with his mortgage a few years early. But would it be worth it?

The forced merger with rival UBS was "the best among bad solutions."

Switzerland's top prosecutor opened a probe to gather information into potential crimes that may have taken place around UBS's emergency takeover of Credit Suisse.
