Revolut has received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a provider of prepaid payment instruments (PPIs) and digital wallets. This development marks a significant step for the fintech company in expanding its services in the Indian market.
The gender pay gap at Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide widened last year, with Lloyds' median gap rising to 35.5% and Nationwide's to 29.2%. Despite a record low overall UK pay gap of 8.4%, men still out-earn women at 78% of large employers, highlighting ongoing disparities in the financial sector.
RBI has launched a team of global FinTech scouts in key cities to integrate innovative technologies into its services. These experts will monitor trends and applications, enhancing RBI's response to market developments. Projects already initiated include AI transformation, embedded finance, and digital assets, with notable contributions from specialists in stablecoins and personal finance.
Neobanks are revolutionizing the UAE's financial landscape by offering digital-first banking solutions that prioritize convenience, transparency, and user experience. Their growth is supported by partnerships with traditional banks and a favorable regulatory environment, appealing particularly to tech-savvy customers and entrepreneurs. However, while neobanks excel in agility and innovation, they still face challenges in providing comprehensive services compared to legacy banks, which continue to adapt by enhancing their digital offerings.
Bakkt Holdings faces a significant setback as Bank of America and Webull announce they will not renew their agreements, jeopardizing 16% and 74% of its revenue streams, respectively. The company, heavily reliant on these partnerships, is under pressure to find new clients or pivot its business model amid a declining share price and regulatory uncertainties in the crypto landscape. Bakkt's future remains uncertain as it navigates these challenges while the institutional crypto ecosystem grows increasingly competitive.
HSBC's mobile app Zing, launched to compete with fintech rivals, attracted nearly 131,000 customers but had only 8,736 active users before its closure, falling short of targets. Analysts criticized the app for lacking differentiation from HSBC's existing services, highlighting the challenges traditional banks face in the digital space. The bank's decision to shut Zing aligns with its broader strategy to simplify operations, reflecting a struggle to keep pace with agile fintech competitors.
Revolut is migrating Swiss customers from its British entity to the Lithuanian Revolut Bank UAB, promising individual Swiss IBANs provided by PostFinance. However, confusion arose as users reported that these IBANs are linked to Revolut Bank UAB, requiring specific payment references. The company acknowledges misunderstandings but emphasizes the benefits of the migration, which includes enhanced financial services and no immediate deadline for the switch.
JPMorgan is negotiating to lease approximately 150,000 sq ft of Credit Suisse’s former UK headquarters in Canary Wharf, as it aims to bring all staff back to the office full-time. The bank's requirements may expand to half the 540,000 sq ft building, which is leased until 2034. This move comes amid rising vacancies in Canary Wharf, with other major tenants like HSBC and Barclays reducing their office space.
HSBC has shut down its Zing initiative after burning through $150 million in a failed attempt to penetrate the international payments market, highlighting the challenges traditional banks face in innovation. The app, aimed at competing with fintechs like Wise and Revolut, suffered from execution flaws, including unnecessary re-KYC processes and a lack of differentiation. Analysts emphasize the need for banks to adopt a more agile, customer-centric approach to succeed in the rapidly evolving financial landscape.
HSBC is shutting down its payments app Zing just a year after its launch, following a strategic review. The app, aimed at young customers and international students, failed to expand beyond the UK and is part of the bank's simplification strategy under new CEO Georges Elhedery. This closure reflects the challenges traditional banks face in the competitive fintech market, as seen with other failed ventures like NatWest's Bó and Barclays' Pingit.
