SINGAPORE, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — David Tay, Global Vice President of YeahPay, the international payment brand of Yeahka Limited (9923.HK), shared his views on how AI is reshaping payments and the future of technology platforms at the Platform Leaders Forum of Stripe Tour in Shanghai. Tay believes AI is beginning to reshape where payment platforms sit in the broader commerce journey.

As AI plays a greater role in how consumers discover products, evaluate options and make purchasing decisions, the boundaries between discovery, decision-making and payment are beginning to blur.

“Value is migrating from processing the transaction to being present at the point of discovery and decision,” Tay said.

For payment platforms, this could broaden the role they play in commerce. Rather than focusing solely on processing more transactions, platforms may increasingly need to consider merchant discoverability, customer engagement and payment acceptance as parts of the same journey.

Yeahka has already started this shift through its work in agentic payments and commerce. The company has developed agentic commerce flows with industry partners, drawing on its merchant reach and payments experience to explore how businesses can operate in an environment where transactions may increasingly be initiated by both people and AI agents. The goal is to make it easier for merchants to participate in AI-driven commerce, from making products discoverable through large language models to supporting new forms of payment interaction.

The company is also extending AI further into merchant operations. Its AI-powered digital employees support global merchants across customer enquiries, product and service recommendations, bookings, payments, CRM and repeat purchases.

Taken together, these initiatives reflect a broader effort to connect the different stages of the merchant journey. By combining AI-driven customer interactions with payment and merchant service capabilities, Yeahka is working toward a more integrated model that links discovery and engagement with transactions and ongoing customer management.

Looking further ahead, Tay expects the platform landscape to become more differentiated. Platforms with durable businesses, he said, are likely to move either deeper into regulated capabilities that require time and permissions to build, or deeper into specialised workflows that general-purpose platforms cannot easily serve.

As the interfaces through which consumers discover, buy and pay continue to evolve, the ability to maintain the underlying customer relationship could become an increasingly important measure of platform strength.

“The real test is whether the customer relationship is still yours when the storefront changes,” Tay said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Greenland Mines Ltd (Nasdaq: GRML) (“Greenland Mines” or the “Company”), a Western-aligned critical-minerals developer, today announced that it has raised more than $42 million from existing investors through a registered direct offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants, and the exercise of previously issued private warrants.

The financing materially strengthens the Company’s balance sheet and provides the capital the Company believes is required to execute its planned exploration and development programs and achieve its targeted 2027 milestones across its Greenland portfolio. All pre-funded warrants issued in the registered direct offering have now been exercised. With its planned capital needs through these milestones substantially addressed, the Company has terminated its at-the-market offering facility.

“Raising more than $42 million from our existing investors gives us the capital required to execute our plan and achieve our targeted 2027 milestones,” said Dr. Bo Møller Stensgaard, President of Greenland Mines Ltd. “Now it’s about execution. At Sarfartoq, we closed the acquisition on September 1 and within weeks completed a substantial field program that advances the next phase of drilling, technical work and district-scale exploration. I’m proud of what this team has accomplished — and even more excited about what comes next. This is the pace and discipline we intend to bring to every asset in the Greenland Mines portfolio.”

Sarfartoq Field Program Successfully Completed

Greenland Mines has successfully completed its 2026 geological and structural field program at the Sarfartoq Neodymium-Praseodymium (“NdPr”) Rare Earth Project in southwest Greenland. Over approximately three weeks, the field team completed detailed geological and structural mapping, drone-supported outcrop surveying and systematic rock sampling across priority areas of the Sarfartoq Carbonatite Complex. The program was designed to strengthen the district-scale, three-dimensional geological framework surrounding ST1, improve targeting for future drilling and resource-upgrade work, and evaluate potential relationships between ST1 and other known rare earth zones across the broader complex.

The campaign also included sampling of carbonatites, rare earth mineralization and newly identified carbonatite-dyke occurrences, with samples expected to be submitted to a Canadian laboratory for rare earth element analysis. WSP Denmark completed a second consecutive year of environmental baseline field investigations, while the Sarfartoq camp has been winterized in restart-ready condition, preserving the option for preparatory work ahead of the principal 2027 field season.

Sarfartoq’s existing ST1 Mineral Resource comprises approximately 12.2 million tons grading 1.32% TREO. The independent Initial Assessment reported a High-case pre-tax NPV8 of approximately $2.05 billion and a pre-tax IRR of 118.6%. ST1 occupies well under 1% of the existing Sarfartoq exploration licence, with multiple additional known rare earth occurrences outside the current Mineral Resource, mine plan and economic analysis — underscoring the broader district-scale opportunity the Company intends to evaluate.

Technical information

The scientific and technical information relating to the ST1 Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Ronald G. Simpson, P.Geo., of GeoSim Services Inc., with technical and engineering support from Hassan Ghaffari, P.Eng., M.A.Sc., of Tetra Tech Canada Inc.; each is an independent Qualified Person as defined under Regulation S-K Subpart 1300.

Banks risk losing $230 billion in payments revenue as stablecoins and tokenized deposits go mainstream

• Stablecoins, tokenized deposits and central bank digital currencies expected to account for 4% of global payments volume by 2030
• Nearly 60% of corporates open to sourcing stablecoin services from non-bank providers
• Tokenized deposits emerge as banks’ top near-term priority to retain deposits and preserve liquidity
• USD 4 trillion of capital trapped in accounts to fund cross-border payment flows

Paris, September 24, 2026 – The global payments industry is approaching a tipping point. As stablecoins, tokenized depositsⁱ, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) move from experimentation to commercialization, banks face mounting pressure on traditional payments revenue pools. According to the Capgemini Research Institute’s World Payments Report 2027, these instruments are projected to account for approximately 4% of the global payments volume by 2030, impacting high-margin revenue streams such as foreign exchange spreads, correspondent banking, float income, and transaction processing fees.

Banks have prioritized payment innovation for corporate clients over the last three years with 60% identifying it as a strategic area of investment. However, only one in three corporate clients are satisfied with their primary banking partner, revealing a widening gap between what banks are delivering and what businesses increasingly expect.

Nearly three-quarters (74%) of corporates describe cross-border payments as slow, costly, and unpredictable. The end-to-the-end journey for corporate payments, from origination and transfer to confirmation and reconciliation, takes roughly 3.5 days. During that process, more than half (57%) report lacking access to live payment status, cash positions, or transparent pricing. Corporates rank predictability of settlement outcomes, real-time visibility into payment execution, and stronger protection against fraud among their most persistent unmet needs. As a result, corporates incur total costs equivalent to 2% of transaction value for a typical cross-border business-to-business (B2B) payment.

Now in its 22^nd edition, the new report surveyed over 1,100 large corporates with revenues greater than USD 1 billion. On average, respondents indicate they operate in 14 markets, maintain 11 banking relationships, and conduct 34% of their B2B payment volume through cross-border transactions. Despite improvements in payment infrastructure, operational fragmentation remains the most defining challenge for corporate clients.

Accelerated intelligent money instruments emerge as a catalyst for transformation
Structural limitations in B2B payment infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and shifting market dynamics are driving the emergence of what the report defines as “accelerated intelligent money” – stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and CBDCs that enable money to do more than simply move between accounts. By supporting 24/7 execution, built-in rules and real-time settlement, these instruments can reduce friction during cross-border payment flows. The report estimates that widespread adoption could unlock as much as USD 4 trillion currently trapped in settlement and liquidity accounts – capital that generates little return and cannot be deployed for lending, investment or other productive uses.

Corporate demand is already building for this new generation of payment instruments and banks remain the preferred provider: 71% of corporates would choose a bank over a fintech for tokenized payments at equivalent cost and quality. However, that preference is not guaranteed. Nearly 60% of corporate clients are willing to source stablecoin services from non-bank providers if their banking partners fail to keep pace. This competitive erosion arrives as corporate clients report 36% of their B2B payment volume already flows through non-banks.

“The payments industry is entering its most significant period of disruption since the emergence of digital banking,” said Jeroen Hölscher, Global Head of Payment Services at Capgemini. “We are moving past the intelligent money hype cycle into a period where the economics and transaction volumes make it impossible for banks to remain on the sidelines. With $230 billion at stake, banks must decide what role they want to play in this emerging ecosystem. A select group of banks have already made their choice and are now shaping the standards and governance that will define the market. Those that act now will build lasting trust, capture new payment flows, and retain the corporate deposits that underpin their wider banking relationships.”

Banks identify tokenized deposits as key priority
As intelligent money moves toward commercialization, banks must define their strategic position in this ecosystem. The report finds that bank executives identify tokenized deposits as the top near-term priority for their ability to remain on balance sheets and fit within existing regulations. However, only 21% of banks – classified as leaders – are actively scaling at least one accelerated intelligent money instrument, while the remaining 79% of banks are still evaluating their position.

These high-achieving banks are focused on specific corporate use cases that address operational friction and monetize their value beyond transaction fees. The payoff is measurable as these leaders are three times more likely than mainstream banks to identify new revenue streams and expect to offset declining transaction revenue within 15 months, versus 25 months for rest of the industry. They are also more decisive: 33% of leaders aim to pursue a transformative market posture by shaping how the ecosystem operates, compared with 40% of mainstream banks that intend to take a reactive approach.

According to the report, since settlement with intelligent money is irrevocable, leaders place a premium on compliance by embedding it directly into execution before money moves. They outpace mainstream banks by 1.5 times on cross-network transaction monitoring and are 1.2 times more likely to both invest in AI-driven surveillance to flag unusual wallet behavior and implement real-time Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks into transaction flows.

Yet even among leaders, foundational gaps remain. Just over half (56%) report having the talent and skills to build and maintain digital assets, technical readiness, and capabilities required to support tokenization, smart contracts, and interoperability across financial networks. Closing that gap will determine which banks are best positioned to move from experimentation to scale.

Read the full report: World Payments Report 2027 – Now Money Really Never Sleeps

Methodology

The World Payments Report 2027 draws on two primary research sources. The 2026 Global Corporate Survey, conducted from May to June 2026 in collaboration with INJ Partners, surveyed 1,110 large corporates with revenues greater than USD 1 billion across nine countries. Respondents were equally distributed across insurance, manufacturing and logistics/transportation. The Global Banking Executives Survey, conducted during the same period, surveyed 300 banking executives across nine markets: Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Singapore, the UAE, the UK and the US. Banks classified as “leaders” are actively scaling at least one accelerated intelligent money instrument, while mainstream banks are still piloting, evaluating or not considering these instruments.

• Follows the launch of MoneyHero’s Hong Kong life insurance marketplace, supporting its strategy to grow high-margin verticals and deepen member engagement
• Features 13 plans from five insurers, Blue, Bowtie, FWD, OneDegree and Zurich, with coverage amounts of up to HK$4 million

HONG KONG, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MoneyHero Limited (NASDAQ: MNY) (“MoneyHero” or the “Company”), a leading tech- and AI-powered personal finance aggregation and comparison platform and a digital insurance brokerage provider in Greater Southeast Asia, today announced the launch of critical illness insurance comparison in Hong Kong, further broadening the range of insurance products on its platform.

The launch is the first product delivery on the second-half 2026 product roadmap MoneyHero outlined on its second quarter 2026 earnings call. It will be integrated into and builds upon the life insurance marketplace introduced during the second quarter of 2026, supporting the continued expansion into high-margin verticals.

Critical illness insurance generally provides a lump-sum cash payout upon the diagnosis of a covered condition, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke, giving policyholders financial flexibility to help cover medical costs, replace lost income, or support their recovery.

The marketplace will offer 13 plans from five insurers (in alphabetical order): Blue, Bowtie, FWD, OneDegree, and Zurich, ranging from entry-level protection to more comprehensive plans covering up to 71 conditions with coverage amounts of up to HK$4 million. Users can filter by age, gender, and smoker status for instant, personalised quotes, compare single-claim and multiple-claim options, and click through directly to their chosen insurer to complete the application.

With this launch, consumers can compare life, travel, and medical insurance products on MoneyHero’s platform, drawing on offerings from a range of established insurers. The addition of critical illness coverage reflects growing consumer demand for a simple, self-guided way to research and apply for protection products online.

“Critical illness insurance is an important addition to our insurance offerings, and one that reflects real demand we’re seeing from Hong Kong consumers,” said Danny Leung, Interim CEO and CFO. “Comparing critical illness insurance can feel overwhelming, with dense policy documents and unfamiliar terms. Our goal is to make the process simple and transparent, enabling customers to compare options from various insurers and choose the coverage that best fits their needs. This launch builds on the momentum of our life insurance marketplace and reinforces our strategy to grow our presence in high-margin verticals. It also lays the groundwork for the further protection and savings products in the coming quarters.”
