New Bango research reveals an opportunity for banks to turn subscription perks into lasting loyalty

CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nearly half of Gen Z Americans (48%) would switch financial providers for free access to their favorite subscriptions, according to new research from Bango (AIM: BGO).

The US findings, drawn from a survey of 2,500 consumers conducted for Bango’s new Banking on loyalty report, also show that 47% of Gen Z would be more loyal to a bank or financial provider that helped them save money on subscriptions.

However, banks have barely begun to meet that demand. Among Americans who receive subscriptions indirectly, only 9% get one through their bank. By contrast, 35% get subscriptions through a cell phone provider, 34% through a retailer, and 25% through a TV, satellite, or cable provider.

That gap is particularly visible among younger consumers. Almost half of Gen Z (48%) expect streaming services to be included as a bank perk, compared with 43% of Millennials and 28% of Americans overall.

The opportunity also extends across the wider market. Nearly one in three US consumers (31%) would switch financial providers for free access to their favorite subscriptions.

Bango believes this gap represents a loyalty and revenue opportunity for banks. By giving customers a single place to find, manage, and upgrade subscriptions through their bank account, app, or wallet, financial providers can use a one-time benefit to build longer-term loyalty and engagement, while encouraging customers to upgrade to premium banking services.

Commenting on the findings, Paul Larbey, Bango CEO, said: “Consumers already get subscriptions through cell phone providers, retailers, and other companies they use every day. Banks are not being asked to create a new consumer behavior. They are playing catch-up with one that is already established elsewhere.

“For Gen Z, subscription benefits are already influencing how they choose and judge their financial providers. A voucher or cash-back offer may get attention, but it often sends the customer elsewhere once redeemed. The bank pays for the benefit while another provider owns the ongoing relationship.

“Banks already sit close to customers and their money. Those that make subscriptions easier to access, manage, and upgrade can turn a one-time perk into repeating loyalty – something customers use month after month, making their accounts more useful and building stronger engagement and recurring revenue. But that role will not be theirs by default. If banks do not build the relationship, someone else will.”

Methodology

This report includes data from 4,000 consumers in the US and UK, exploring attitudes to subscriptions, bundling and the role of banks and financial providers in the subscription economy.

The research includes 2,500 consumers in the US and 1,500 consumers in the UK. It is a new analysis of data from the 2026 Subscription Signals research, commissioned by Bango and conducted by the independent research company 3Gem in 2026. The report also references the 2025 Subscriptions Assemble research.

Diamond Equity Research analyzes the Company’s 156% Year-on-Year H1 2026 Revenue Growth and $7.0 Million Net Profit from Operations

Highlights Genius Group’s focus on NAV Per Share as a Key Metric and the Company’s reported $106.6 Million in Net Assets, Up 57% Year-on-Year,

Diamond Equity Research Reviews Genius Group’s Up to $100 Million AI Treasury Plan, Beginning with a $20 Million Phase 1 Focus on Frontier AI

SINGAPORE, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) (“Genius Group”, “GNS” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered education group, today announced the release of a new Analyst Update Report from Diamond Equity Research, an issuer-sponsored equity research firm focused on small-capitalization companies, covering Genius Group’s common stock.

Genius Group has worked with Diamond Equity Research (“DER”) to perform independent research that will create greater awareness and exposure in the investment community for the Company’s AI-powered education growth plans, net asset value per share strategy and dual AI and Bitcoin Treasury strategy.

Report Highlights

Notable highlights from the report include:

• Launch of the AI Treasury and the AGI Infinity Portfolio Reframes the Equity Story Around Artificial General Intelligence: The board authorized a Genius AI Treasury in May 2026, with the AGI Infinity Portfolio as its first vehicle and an initial envelope of up to $100 million across three phases. Phase 1 targets $20 million of pre-IPO exposure in SEC-registered closed-end interval funds, with look through to named frontier-AI private companies including SpaceX at 10.7%, Anthropic at 10.5% and OpenAI at 6.9%. Phase 2 contemplates $30 million into listed compute, power and semiconductor infrastructure and Phase 3 a further $50 million into second-order beneficiaries. Management’s aspirational five-year plan grows the portfolio to $800 million by 2030 within a $2 billion balance sheet, held at or below 40% of total assets to remain outside the Investment Company Act of 1940.
• Net Asset Value per Share Adopted as the Key Metric, With the Shares at a Substantial Discount to Stated Book: Management has adopted net asset value per share, total assets less total liabilities divided by shares outstanding, as its primary shareholder metric, and intends to compound it by growing net assets through the operating businesses and the dual treasury while shrinking the denominator through buybacks and retirements. DER calculated net asset value per share of $0.61 based on estimated unaudited net assets of $106.6 million and 173.4 million shares at 30 June 2026. In June 2026 the company bought back 12.6 million shares and cancelled a further 20 million, together equivalent to approximately 27% of the float, a further 30.1 million shares have been identified for retirement, and the ICC arbitration awarded the recovery of 7.4 million shares and $8.0 million of cash against LZG International.
• Profitability Achieved Through H1 2026 Following the FY 2025 Restructuring: Genius Group reported unaudited operational revenue of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 171% year-over-year, and $3.2 million in the second quarter, up 112%, taking first-half operational revenue to approximately $6.5 million. Gross profit rose 228% and 978% respectively across the two quarters, with first quarter gross margin improving to 62% from 52%, while net profit from operations reversed from losses of $0.5 million and $2.3 million in the prior-year periods to profits of $2.7 million and $4.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA from operations was positive in both quarters, at $0.6 million and $0.3 million against negative $0.4 million and negative $0.6 million a year earlier. DER highlights that these figures cover the three operating business units only and exclude central treasury gains and losses and central financing, investing, legal and management items, so they are not directly comparable with the audited group accounts. Alongside the operating improvement the company sold the remainder of its Bitcoin treasury during the first quarter and repaid its $8.5 million of debt in full, materially de-risking the capital structure ahead of the treasury relaunch.
• Valuation – $1.54: DER’s valuation of Genius Group is based on a sum-of-the-parts framework that separates the operating education business from the newly authorized dual treasury. DER values Part A, the core EdTech business, at $262.5 million of equity, weighting a DCF at 90%, discounted at a 12.4% rate, and a guideline public company analysis at 10%, applying a 2.34x cohort EV/Sales multiple to DER’s FY 2026 revenue estimate of $19.0 million, or $1.51 per share on 173.4 million shares. Part B, the treasury, carries $17.8 million of assets pro forma for the proposed $12.5 million perpetual preferred tranche, which ranks senior, leaving $0.03 per share. DER’s blended framework derives an illustrative valuation of $1.54 per share, contingent on continued financing access and successful execution.

OREM, Utah, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reflect Scientific, Inc. (Symbol: RSCF), today announced that its proprietary liquid nitrogen temperature control technology is available for application in the rapidly expanding AI data center market.

The continued growth of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented demand for high-density computing infrastructure and creating significant challenges for data center operators, including thermal management, water consumption, and noise associated with conventional cooling systems.

Reflect Scientific’s liquid nitrogen-based temperature control technology offers a fundamentally different approach to managing heat in high-density computing environments. The technology is designed to provide temperature control without conventional water-based cooling systems and without the mechanical equipment typically associated with traditional cooling approaches.

The potential benefits include reduced water consumption, low-noise operation, and an alternative approach to thermal management for next-generation AI data centers.

Initial Market Interest

Reflect Scientific has already received an inquiry regarding its liquid nitrogen cooling technology from a party located in the Western United States.

While the inquiry represents an early-stage expression of interest and does not constitute an order or agreement, the Company believes it demonstrates growing interest in alternative cooling technologies as AI data center developers face increasing thermal management and environmental challenges.

“Our liquid nitrogen temperature control technology represents a different approach to cooling AI data centers,” said Kim Boyce, Chief Executive Officer of Reflect Scientific. “We have more than 20 years of experience designing and manufacturing liquid nitrogen cooling systems, and we believe that expertise gives us a strong foundation as we explore the application of our technology to the rapidly growing AI data center market.”

“The increasing demand for AI computing is creating a need for new approaches to thermal management,” Boyce continued. “We look forward to working with data center developers, operators, and technology partners as they evaluate next-generation cooling solutions.”

More Than 20 Years of Cryogenic Cooling Experience

Reflect Scientific has more than two decades of experience designing and manufacturing advanced cryogenic temperature control systems for demanding commercial and scientific applications.

The Company’s existing expertise in liquid nitrogen temperature control provides a foundation for exploring applications in high-density computing and next-generation data center infrastructure.

As AI workloads continue to drive increased computing density, Reflect Scientific believes there may be significant opportunities for innovative thermal management technologies that can address the limitations of conventional cooling approaches.

About Reflect Scientific, Inc.

Reflect Scientific, Inc., based in Orem, Utah, develops and markets innovative, proprietary technologies in cryogenic cooling for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical, and transportation markets. Among Reflect Scientific’s products are low-temperature freezers and refrigerated systems for laboratory, transportation, and computer server room uses.

Drilling Tests Main Showing Boundaries and First Holes at Steep Creek Zinc-Lead Target; Assays Pending

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Integral Metals Corp. (CSE: INTG | OTC: ITGLF | FSE: ZK9) (the “Company” or “Integral”) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2026 diamond drilling program at the KAP Project (“KAP” or the “Project”) in the Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories. Following mobilization in early August, drilling began on August 8 and concluded on September 10, 2026. Demobilization of the drill rig and field operations is underway.

The program built on the plans outlined in the Company’s July 13, 2026 news release and follows historical exploration and Integral’s 2025 soil sampling and drilling of carbonate-hosted mineralization at the Main showing. This year’s drilling focused on better defining the Main showing’s geometry, testing gaps between areas of drill coverage, and evaluating potential extensions. The program also tested a zinc-lead soil anomaly at the nearby Steep Creek showing (Figure 1), providing a separate area to evaluate the Project’s mineralization potential beyond Main.

“This season’s drilling allowed us to investigate the boundaries of the Main showing and test the nearby Steep Creek target,” said Paul Sparkes, Chief Executive Officer of Integral Metals. “Our next step is to assess the geological and assay data from each area to guide future exploration. We thank our field team, contractors and local partners for their work throughout the program.”

Demobilization includes drill rig teardown and the transport of equipment, drill core and personnel from the field. Remaining technical work includes completing core logging and sampling, laboratory analysis, and data compilation to support refinement of the geological model. Results will be reported following receipt of assays and technical review, including quality assurance and quality control checks.
