The Bivial App now offers full dashboard capabilities, giving business clients access to their accounts, payments, FX, and cards on iOS and Android.

Bivial AG, a Swiss fintech company, is pleased to announce that its Bivial Authenticator app is now the Bivial App, bringing the dashboard to clients’ smartphones. Originally designed for secure logins and payment approvals, the app has evolved into a complete mobile version of the Bivial dashboard.

The Bivial App is fully integrated with the dashboard, allowing clients to move between desktop and mobile without interruption. No additional account or registration is required, and existing users can access the new functionality by updating to the latest version of the app.

Through the app, clients can:

  • View balances across all currency accounts and share IBAN details
  • Send international SWIFT and local payments to new or saved beneficiaries
  • Convert funds between currency accounts at Bivial FX rates
  • Monitor virtual and physical cards and their spending
  • Track incoming and outgoing transactions in real time
  • Approve logins, transfers, and other sensitive actions with a single tap

Every login, transfer and sensitive change continues to require confirmation via push notification, secured by Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint, or a personal PIN. Built on Swiss security standards, the app adheres to the same security standards as all Bivial accounts and offers a simple, convenient experience for all customers using Bivial.

“Our clients run international businesses, and their work does not stop when they leave the office,” said Christos Alatzidis, CTO of Bivial. “Bringing the full dashboard into the app they already trust for authentication gives them complete control of their finances wherever they are, with the same Swiss-grade security.”

The updated Bivial App is available now on the App Store and Google Play.

GUANGZHOU, CHINA  — Airwheel, a smart mobility brand specializing in intelligent rideable luggage and personal mobility solutions, will showcase the SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase and a range of smart electric cabin suitcases at the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair). Across the exhibition, Airwheel will present its latest product innovations, engineering capabilities and expanding portfolio to international distributors, retailers and business partners seeking differentiated solutions for the evolving travel market.

Airwheel_ai_electric_suitcase

As travel increasingly intersects with connected technology and personal mobility, Airwheel is exploring a new role for luggage: moving beyond storage to become an active part of the travel experience. Through electric riding systems, intelligent controls and user-oriented industrial design, the company aims to make everyday journeys more convenient while creating new possibilities for the traditional luggage category.

SE3SXD: A New Approach to the Smart Cabin Luxury Suitcase

At the center of Airwheel’s exhibition lineup is the SE3SXD AI Smart Electric Suitcase, a flagship model that combines luggage storage, electric riding and connected features in a single product.

Designed around the idea of making technology more intuitive, the SE3SXD features a one-touch dual-drive automatic telescopic mechanism. Its powered front-wheel structure and linked smart handle are designed to extend and lock into riding position through a coordinated operation, reducing the need for multiple manual adjustments when switching from luggage mode to riding mode.

The SE3SXD integrates electric mobility with smart connectivity. Through its dedicated app, users can access riding-related information and control functions, while Apple Find My support provides an additional way to locate the suitcase using compatible Apple devices. A USB output offers added convenience for charging compatible personal electronics.

The model reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h, supports a maximum load of 95 kg and provides approximately 20 liters of storage capacity. It uses a removable 73.26Wh lithium battery, and its compact format is designed with modern carry-on travel in mind.

Rather than adding technology for its own sake, Airwheel’s approach focuses on integrating mechanical engineering, intelligent interaction and practical travel functions into one cohesive product experience.

A Broader Portfolio for Different Travel Needs

The SE3SXD is part of a wider Airwheel smart rideable luggage portfolio developed for different users, travel scenarios and retail segments.

airwheel_smart_electric_cabin_luxury_Ai_suitcase_43_02

The SE3SX offers a premium smart electric cabin suitcase experience, combining electric riding, app connectivity and Apple Find My support in a compact format. The SE3SL+ Boarding Suitcase emphasizes lightweight construction and everyday travel convenience, while the established SE3S and SE3SL Scooter suitcase models bring electric riding functionality to the familiar suitcase form.

For travelers seeking a more compact option, the SE3MiniT Hand Suitcase offers a smaller rideable luggage format. The SE3T provides a larger-capacity solution for family and extended travel scenarios, while the SQ3 and SQ3S Kids suitcase series bring rideable luggage concepts to family-oriented and younger-user applications.

Together, these products reflect Airwheel’s strategy of developing a portfolio rather than relying on a single flagship model. For international buyers, the range creates opportunities to evaluate different product configurations and identify solutions that match local consumer preferences, retail positioning and distribution strategies.

Engineering Innovation Backed by Global Intellectual Property

Airwheel’s product development is supported by continued investment in research and development. The company reports more than 600 patents globally, covering areas including electric drive systems, motion control, intelligent sensing, structural engineering and human-machine interaction.

These technologies support the development of integrated smart mobility products in which mechanical structures, electronic controls and user interfaces work together. In rideable luggage, this requires more than adding a motor to a suitcase: it involves coordinating the riding mechanism, handling characteristics, control systems and conventional luggage functions within a compact product.

Airwheel’s broader intellectual property strategy also includes trademarks registered in more than 168 countries and regions, supporting its international brand development and market presence.

For Airwheel, intellectual property represents both an engineering foundation and a long-term commitment to product differentiation in an increasingly competitive global market.

International Design Recognition and Premium Market Development

Airwheel_Smart_Ai_luxury_cabin_electric_suitcase_exhibition_14

Design is another important part of Airwheel’s product strategy. The company’s smart rideable luggage portfolio has received more than 100 international design awards, according to Airwheel, with recognition spanning design programs and markets in the United States, Europe, Japan, Italy, Germany and France.

Among the recognized programs are the German iF Design Award, the U.S. International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), the MUSE Design Awards, the Berlin Design Awards, the European Product Design Awards and other international design competitions. Different products have received different honors over time, reflecting the portfolio’s continued development across form, functionality and user experience.

For Airwheel, design is not limited to exterior appearance. It also involves the relationship between the suitcase’s structure, riding mechanism, portability, controls and the way users interact with the product during a journey.

The company is also expanding its presence in premium retail environments and established retail channels. Its products have entered selected high-end shopping malls and retail networks, while models including the SE3SL+ and SE3ST have gained placement in Sam’s Club in China. These channel developments provide additional opportunities for consumers to experience smart rideable luggage in physical retail settings and for the brand to broaden its reach beyond online sales.

Airwheel’s strategy combines product innovation, international design recognition and retail development to build a more differentiated position in the smart travel market.

Meet Airwheel at the 140th Canton Fair

The 140th Canton Fair provides an opportunity for Airwheel to connect directly with international importers, distributors, luggage retailers, travel-related businesses and potential regional partners.

Visitors will be able to explore Airwheel’s smart electric luggage portfolio, learn about product functions and configurations, and discuss distribution opportunities and potential cooperation with the company.

“Life Operating Software” acts like a capable chief of staff for every person and team, handling the email, scheduling, calls, and follow-ups that stand between the users and the work only they can do

United States, 14th Oct 2026 — Kira today announced the launch of a multi-part AI workspace that functions as an “operating intelligence” of the user’s life. Kira does more than just answer questions. Built to think, remember, and act, Kira learns about the user and his or her business, recalls every detail, and takes action across calls, emails, content, and workflows.

“Kira came to life based on an insight that most of the workday doesn’t involve actual work,” explained a spokesperson for Kira. “Instead, we spend huge amounts of time coordinating the work, chasing replies, moving meetings, writing the same email in five different ways, and so forth. This is the problem we are solving with Kira. Kira exists to close that gap. Kira acts as a capable chief of staff for every person and team. It handles the email, scheduling, calls, and follow-ups that stand between you and the work only you can do.”

Kira brings the user’s tools into one place and gives AI agents the ability to act on his or her behalf, but always with the user in control.

Key features include:

  • Email Agent, which drafts, triages, and sends, with the user’s sign-off on anything that matters.
  • AI Call Agents, which place and take calls, then hand the user the summary, not the transcript.
  • Smart Calendar, which schedules, reschedules, and preps the user’s life before the day begins.
  • Voice Command, which runs the dashboard hands-free.
  • Connected integrations, which link the tools the user already works in.

Kira is a connected workspace that includes My Brain, My Files, and My Workspace. These are where the user’s notes, tasks, and documents live together.

Kira runs on a loop built to keep the user in charge while cutting out manual steps in various work tasks. “We connect the tools you already use, from email to calendar, and beyond,” the spokesperson added. “You delegate a goal, in plain language or by voice, but you get to review what Kira proposes before anything goes out.” As Kira executes, it learns the user’s preferences so the next round takes less time.

London, United Kingdom, Oct 14, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Prediction markets have officially crossed the chasm. Driven largely by the explosive growth of platforms like Polymarket, what was once a niche experiment for crypto enthusiasts has evolved into a global truth engine. Today, political analysts, economists, and everyday news consumers are looking to prediction markets not just to participate, but to understand real-time sentiment on everything from global elections to pop culture.

But as the spotlight on these platforms brightens, a significant structural barrier has emerged: the sheer friction of participation.

Unlike traditional passive investing, where you can buy an index fund and look away for a decade, prediction markets are ruthlessly active. They require continuous monitoring, deep domain expertise, and the ability to make split-second decisions as news breaks. For the average user who has a day job and cannot afford to stare at probability charts 24/7, the barrier to entry is exhaustingly high.

This is the exact friction point that Minti Markets is attempting to solve by introducing a proven fintech concept—copy trading—to the prediction market ecosystem.

The Shift from Trading to Curation

In traditional finance and cryptocurrency trading, platforms like eToro popularized the idea that you don’t need to be an expert trader to participate; you just need to be able to identify one. Minti Markets is applying this same logic to prediction platforms, starting with Polymarket.

The premise is elegantly simple: Every participant on the blockchain leaves a public, unforgeable track record of their predictions, right or wrong. Minti aggregates these transparent on-chain records, allowing users to browse through the histories of top-performing forecasters across different categories—whether it’s sports, geopolitics, or economics.

Instead of betting on the outcome of a specific event, users effectively “bet” on the analysts who have a proven history of getting it right.

Automated Execution, Sovereign Control

What makes Minti’s approach compelling is how it balances automation with risk management. When a user finds a forecaster they trust, they don’t simply hand over their funds. Operating on a non-custodial architecture, Minti allows users to set strict, personalized budget caps.

Once a follow is initiated, Minti’s infrastructure automatically mirrors the expert’s eligible positions within the user’s account, scaled to their specific budget. If the forecaster makes a move at 3:00 AM, the user’s portfolio reacts accordingly without them needing to be awake to hit a button. And because the platform is non-custodial, users retain ultimate control of their wallets, with the ability to pause or sever the connection at any time.

Why This Matters for the Broader Ecosystem

For prediction markets to truly become a mainstream financial and informational primitive, they cannot be restricted to professional traders and insomniacs. By automating the execution layer and focusing the user experience on curation rather than trading, Minti Markets is building a critical piece of infrastructure.

It transforms prediction markets from a high-stress, active-trading environment into a more accessible, strategic ecosystem. As global events continue to accelerate, the platforms that succeed will be the ones that allow users to leverage collective intelligence without sacrificing all of their free time. Minti is betting that copy trading is the key to that future.

Texas, USA, Oct 14, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — WeSalute, the nation’s first service recognition platform, is proud to announce the launch of its Nurses program the week of January 12. The initiative honors nurses as the heart and hands of healthcare, offering secure verification, exclusive benefits, and meaningful financial empowerment to the professionals who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

“For years, nurses have told us that recognition feels fleeting — a simple thank-you at the end of a long shift,” said a WeSalute spokesperson. “We built WeSalute to make recognition daily and tangible. Nurses deserve a system that acknowledges their service, safeguards their credentials, and delivers real financial relief.”

Why This Matters Now

Nurses face extraordinary demands every day. From twelve-hour shifts that often stretch longer, to life-and-death decisions made in moments, their work is critical — yet often under-recognized. At the same time, healthcare professionals are exposed to identity theft and data risks when seeking workplace discounts and benefits online.

WeSalute’s program addresses these challenges by creating secure, verified access to exclusive savings and life resources — including prescriptions, travel, insurance, and retail — while protecting nurses’ personal and professional credentials.

A Platform Built for Real Recognition

WeSalute pioneered service recognition platforms over 25 years ago, starting with military members and veterans. Today, that same platform is expanding to healthcare heroes, offering:

  • Secure verification: Nurses use their WeSalute+ ID Card to access offers without exposing personal credentials.

  • Real financial relief: Members save an average of $1,200+ annually through benefits across healthcare, travel, retail, and more.

  • A community of gratitude: Access to over 300 partners, including major travel, technology, and lifestyle brands that recognize the value of nurses’ service.

“The goal is simple: recognition that is meaningful, consistent, and secure,” said the WeSalute spokesperson. “Nurses don’t need symbolic gestures — they need a system that delivers practical benefits while acknowledging the critical service they provide every day.”

How the Public and Partners Can Support Nurses

WeSalute encourages businesses, communities, and individuals to take actionable steps that support nurses year-round:

  1. Offer consistent appreciation — beyond holidays and Nursing Week, show regular acknowledgment of their contributions.

  2. Promote verified benefits — partner with trusted platforms like WeSalute to protect nurses’ credentials and ensure access to legitimate offers.

  3. Build supportive communities — connect nurses to local and professional networks that value their service.

  4. Align your brand with a mission — partners gain the “Halo Effect” by demonstrating social responsibility and commitment to healthcare heroes.

  5. Share verified resources — help nurses navigate benefits safely and avoid scams.

A Movement Toward Meaningful Support

With the launch of the Nurses program, WeSalute is expanding its mission from military service recognition to honoring all groups who serve the public, starting with healthcare professionals. By providing secure, everyday recognition and tangible benefits, the platform sets a new standard for how society thanks those who give so much of themselves.

“Our vision is clear: create a system where nurses are respected, protected, and rewarded every day,” said the spokesperson. “Recognition shouldn’t be seasonal. It should show up where it matters most — in the moments that count for them.”

Call to Action

The Nurses program opens the week of January 12, with free enrollment and the option to upgrade to WeSalute+ for exclusive benefits. Nurses and healthcare professionals are encouraged to sign up for the WeSalute newsletter to receive early access and notifications for launch offers.

“Support doesn’t have to be grandiose,” said the spokesperson. “It’s in the everyday actions — recognition, protection, and meaningful benefits that make a real difference. That’s the WeSalute promise.”

About WeSalute

Founded in 2000, WeSalute (formerly Veterans Advantage) is the nation’s first service recognition platform delivering respect, recognition, and rewards for active duty military, veterans, and their families. Through secure ID verification, exclusive partnerships, travel protection, and community-driven support, WeSalute has helped redefine modern service appreciation for over 25 years.

Pennsylvania, USA, Oct 14, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Frank Lauletta has spent his career advising companies across software, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and professional services. Across those industries, he says the businesses that avoid expensive legal problems are rarely the ones with the most lawyers on retainer. They are the ones that notice small warning signs before those signs become big ones.

“By the time a shareholder dispute reaches a courtroom, the real problem usually started years earlier,” Frank says. “Someone saw it coming and didn’t act on it.”

Sign One: Contracts That Were Never Built to Repeat

A lot of companies grow using whatever agreement worked the last time. Sales terms get copied from one deal to the next, with small edits here and there. Frank says this is one of the clearest signs a business has outgrown its own paperwork.

“If every contract looks a little different, that’s not flexibility. That’s risk sitting in a drawer,” he says. Standardized sales agreements, licensing terms, and terms of use exist for a reason: they remove ambiguity before a negotiation starts, not after it goes wrong.

Sign Two: A Founder Who Is the Only Plan

Frank often works with business owners who built something successful but never wrote down what happens if they step back, sell, or pass the business to someone else. He treats this as a warning sign worth taking seriously, not a distant concern.

“Succession planning isn’t about assuming the worst,” Frank says. “It’s about making sure the business doesn’t depend on one person being available forever.” Companies that wait until a transition is already underway tend to make rushed decisions. Those decisions are harder to unwind than the ones made early.

Sign Three: Disagreements Among Owners That Get Smoothed Over Instead of Resolved

Shareholder disputes rarely start as disputes. They start as disagreements that two partners decide not to put in writing because the relationship feels fine for now. Frank has represented clients on both sides of these situations, including in litigation when a disagreement could not be resolved another way.

“The owners who come to me early, before a disagreement hardens into a position, almost always have more options,” he says. “Once people stop talking and start preparing for a fight, the choices narrow fast.”

Sign Four: Outside Counsel Who Only Hears From You When Something Breaks

Frank frequently serves as outside general counsel to companies, working alongside executive teams on decisions that shape where a business is headed. He says one sign a company is managing legal risk poorly is simple: its lawyer only hears from them after a problem has already happened.

“If the first call I get is the crisis call, we’ve already lost time we didn’t need to lose,” Frank says. “Legal strategy works best when it’s part of the conversation before a deal closes, not after.”

Sign Five: Growth That Outpaces the Agreements Behind It

Fast growth is good news until the paperwork underneath it stops matching the business. Royalty structures, licensing models, and joint venture agreements that made sense at one size can create real exposure at another. Frank says this is a sign that gets missed often, because growth itself feels like proof that everything is working.

“A company can be doing everything right on the business side and still be carrying agreements that don’t fit anymore,” he says. “That gap is where problems start.”

What These Signs Have in Common

None of these signs are dramatic on their own. A copied contract, an unwritten succession plan, a disagreement nobody addressed. Frank says the pattern that connects them is timing: each one is cheap to fix early and expensive to fix late.

“My job isn’t to wait for the fire,” he says. “It’s to help a business notice the smoke.”

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 13th, 2026, Chainwire

Bybit Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou has outlined the latest stage of the company’s expansion from a crypto exchange into The New Financial Platform, highlighting new products and collaborations across traditional and digital markets. 

The updates were presented during Bybit’s latest biannual “Keynote with Ben” session titled “Make Your Move”, where Ben discussed the convergence of financial markets and the company’s approach to building for that shift. Held outside the usual studio format, in a gathering with a live audience, the keynote brought Ben together with selected guests to discuss changes in the financial landscape, new technologies and the products shaping Bybit’s next phase.

Four Years of TradFi Expansion, With Stocks Now Live and mStocks Ahead

Four years after entering traditional finance with contracts for difference (CFDs) in 2022, Bybit has established itself as the largest crypto CFD platform, with trading volume reaching as much as $100 billion at its peak. On Oct. 12, the company expanded further into traditional markets with the launch of stock trading for eligible users, providing access to more than 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs. Users can trade using USDC, with fractional shares and 24/5 access covering U.S. pre-market, regular and after-hours sessions.

Bybit is also developing mStocks in collaboration with Mantle, with a targeted launch in November. The tokenized stock product is designed to be backed 1:1 by real stocks, with plans to support round-the-clock conversion between eligible stocks and mStocks on Bybit, as well as decentralized exchange trading through automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pools on Mantle. Converted mStocks are also expected to be transferable into Bybit’s Unified Trading Account (UTA) for use as trading collateral, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

Bybit launched IPO Express in June, giving eligible users access to selected IPO opportunities at the offering price through tokenized representations of the underlying securities. The service launched with SpaceX and is designed to extend Bybit’s access beyond secondary-market trading into selected primary-market opportunities.

The latest developments build on Bybit’s expansion into perpetuals, pre-market products, foreign exchange and options. Its TradFi offering now spans more than 600 products across equities, ETFs, indices, commodities and FX. TradFi perpetuals have recorded more than $180 billion in trading volume, while recent additions include Forex Perps and Perp Options, an industry-first options product built on TradFi perpetuals.

Bybit is continuing to develop new perpetual products linked to AI computing and commodities, extending its range of instruments beyond conventional crypto markets.

Extending the Platform into Payments

Beyond trading and investing, Bybit has expanded its payments infrastructure to help customers move funds with greater flexibility. Bybit Pay and Bybit Card support crypto and fiat transfers, merchant payments and everyday spending. The service now connects users with more than 5,000 merchants across 15+ countries and supports transfers to bank accounts and e-wallets, alongside QR payments and other payment services. Bybit has issued more than 4 million Bybit Cards, extending the platform’s use beyond financial markets into payments and spending.

Security and Regulatory Infrastructure

The expansion has been accompanied by investment in security, compliance and technology infrastructure.

In the first half of 2026, Bybit said it intercepted more than 30,000 suspicious withdrawal requests, protecting users from more than $700 million in potential losses.

Bybit also secured five new licenses and regulatory approvals across European Union, the Cayman Islands, Indonesia, South Africa and El Salvador during 2026. These regulatory developments support the company’s efforts to expand its presence across different markets, subject to local requirements.

The company launched Bybit AI in September as a conversational assistant across trading, account management and customer support, with further development planned around the platform’s wider financial services.

“Bybit is all about giving you the speed and scale you need when you Make Your Move. We have brought trading, investing, payments and AI together, and we are continuing to add more markets and more ways to use them. We built the platform. Now it is about giving people the financial freedom to make their own move,” said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit.

Building Beyond the Exchange

Four years after entering TradFi, Bybit now combines crypto markets with stocks and ETFs, derivatives, commodities, FX, selected pre-IPO access, payments and AI-powered services. The company’s focus is increasingly on bringing these capabilities together within a single platform while continuing to expand market access, product depth and the infrastructure supporting them.

For Bybit, the development of The New Financial Platform represents the next stage of its growth beyond crypto and into a broader role across global financial markets.

The service now connects users with more than 5,000 merchants across 15+ countries and supports transfers to bank accounts and e-wallets, alongside QR payments and other payment services. Bybit has issued more than 4 million Bybit Cards, extending the platform’s use beyond financial markets into payments and spending.

Security and Regulatory Infrastructure

The expansion has been accompanied by investment in security, compliance and technology infrastructure.

In the first half of 2026, Bybit said it intercepted more than 30,000 suspicious withdrawal requests, protecting users from more than $700 million in potential losses.

Bybit also secured five new licenses and regulatory approvals across European Union, the Cayman Islands, Indonesia, South Africa and El Salvador during 2026. These regulatory developments support the company’s efforts to expand its presence across different markets, subject to local requirements.

The company launched Bybit AI in September as a conversational assistant across trading, account management and customer support, with further development planned around the platform’s wider financial services.

“Bybit is all about giving you the speed and scale you need when you Make Your Move. We have brought trading, investing, payments and AI together, and we are continuing to add more markets and more ways to use them. We built the platform. Now it is about giving people the financial freedom to make their own move,” said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit.

Building Beyond the Exchange

Four years after entering TradFi, Bybit now combines crypto markets with stocks and ETFs, derivatives, commodities, FX, selected pre-IPO access, payments and AI-powered services. The company’s focus is increasingly on bringing these capabilities together within a single platform while continuing to expand market access, product depth and the infrastructure supporting them.

For Bybit, the development of The New Financial Platform represents the next stage of its growth beyond crypto and into a broader role across global financial markets.

Moscow, Russia, October 13th, 2026, FinanceWire

A7 International enables businesses and individuals to pay invoices with digital assets, while recipients receive a regular bank transfer, reflecting A7’s international positioning and expanding the geography of settlements available to foreign clients.

In two years of operation, A7 has become one of the key players in the international settlements market. Founded in 2024 to serve the foreign economic activity of Russian businesses, it currently serves around 15,000 companies, processing 10+ trillion roubles in 2025 alone. The services A7 offered domestically sparked interest among businesses from other countries, prompting the company to come up with a new product for foreign clients.

The launch of A7 International marks a new stage in A7’s journey. In response to requests from foreign entrepreneurs, the company is expanding its positioning and creating an export offering for businesses in various countries. It is a remote service compliant with local legislation on digital assets and available only in those jurisdictions where cryptocurrency circulation is permitted.

“We are presenting not just a new product in the lineup, but a new image of A7. We have adapted our service so that it can be used remotely from anywhere in the world. This is precisely the key demand of market participants today. They want to be able to transfer money around the world in a few clicks in the shortest possible time – directly from your smartphone, without lengthy paperwork, hidden fees, or unjustified holds on funds. And we are packaging this demand into a convenient and competitive form,” said Chairman of Bank PSB Petr Fradkov.

The mechanics of the service are simple: the client transfers USDT, and A7 arranges a bank transfer via SWIFT using the counterparty details specified in the invoice. The recipient does not need to accept cryptocurrency or open a crypto wallet: the funds arrive in their bank account.

To submit an application, you need to register in your personal account on the website a7.biz. Individuals undergo identity verification (KYC), and companies undergo corporate data verification (KYB). Then the client uploads the invoice and the necessary documents. The built-in algorithm automatically recognizes the invoice data and helps fill out the application.

“The system operates as follows. AI analyzes the sender and beneficiary, jurisdictions, and key risk factors of the transaction. Based on the verification results, a risk profile of the payment is formed and the available options for processing it are determined. The system compares compliance requirements with the capabilities of the existing payment infrastructure. After that, it recommends the optimal payment route taking into account its cost, speed, reliability, and applicable restrictions. Routing dynamically adapts to changes in conditions and the availability of payment channels. Data accumulated over the years makes it possible to continuously improve the quality of decisions made by the system,” noted A7 CEO Ilan Shor.

At launch, A7 International accepts USDT on the TRON network. Bank transfers are available in US dollars, euros, Chinese yuan, and UAE dirhams. Other currencies are available by prior agreement. The commission is 0.3% for both businesses and individuals. After uploading the invoice, the client sees the final cost of the payment, including commission, in advance.

Payment execution time is from one business day. After the operation is completed, the client receives a SWIFT message or another confirming document. For currency and customs control, the service also provides closing documents.

The presentation of the service took place on a symbolic date and time — October 13 at 13:13.
