CLEVELAND, May 12, 2026 /3BL/ – In recognition of Small Business Month, KeyBank (NYSE: KEY) is highlighting how its Certified Cash Flow Advisor Program is changing the way it serves small‑to‑midsize businesses—by putting real conversations and practical advice at the center of the relationship.

In 2024, KeyBank made a significant investment in expanding this expertise across the organization by providing its advisors with a common framework for engaging business owners through Key Conversations—purposeful discussions focused on how cash moves in and out of a business and how financial processes can work harder for the owner’s goals.

Rather than offering one‑size‑fits‑all solutions, Certified Cash Flow Advisors take time to understand the realities of each business. From invoicing and receivables to liquidity, automation, and fraud protection, advisors deliver tailored guidance that addresses operational pain points and helps owner‑operators improve efficiency and profitability. Since inception, KeyBank’s advisors have had more than 147,800 conversations with small and midsized businesses across the country. By emphasizing an advice-driven philosophy, KeyBank aims to strengthen relationships with business owners and help them achieve long-term success in an increasingly complex financial landscape.

“Business owners are experts at what they do—but they’re often stretched thin trying to do everything,” said Mike Walters, President of Business Banking at KeyBank. “Our role is to help our small business owner/operators maximize their business financially so they can grow and thrive. The Key Conversation gives us a way to step back with the client, look holistically at their cash flow, and uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed. This people‑first approach enables KeyBank to deliver more than transactions — it provides insight, clarity, and collaboration. By leading with advice instead of products, we’re redefining what business banking can be for small businesses.”

These conversations are backed by a full suite of business banking capabilities designed to put advice into action. KeyBank’s small business clients have access to intuitive digital banking platforms that provide visibility into cash flow, merchant services that accelerate payments and reduce friction at the point of sale, flexible lending solutions tailored to growth and working capital needs, and integrated payroll services that streamline operations. When paired with the insight and expertise of a Certified Cash Flow Advisor, these tools become more than products—they become part of a strategic plan to help business owners work smarter, scale sustainably, and protect what they’ve built.

In addition, KeyBank recently received five 2026 Best Bank Awards from Coalition Greenwich for the support it provides to small business clients. This reinforces that relationships built on earned trust, combined with best-in-class service and advice-driven solutions help our clients grow in the communities they serve.

Strong advisory relationships are essential to helping business owners adapt, grow, and succeed over the long term, and KeyBank is committed to delivering that partnership every day. Learn more about KeyBank’s business banking expertise at www.key.com/smallbusiness.

MUMBAI and NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 /3BL/ – Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting and business solutions, recently hosted student finalists from North America and Latin America in the Americas Hub portion of the TCS goIT Global Innovator of the Year competition. Now in its fourth year, the competition encourages students to propose new ways technology can help solve global challenges in support of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

During the Americas hub event, 17 students from four finalist teams presented their technology concepts for advancing health, safety and environmental sustainability. They showcased research, problem-solving and design thinking skills to an audience of educators, families and TCS volunteer judges who provided industry-relevant feedback. The two North American teams were from Canada and the U.S., and both Latin America teams were from Brazil.

• “Don’t Be Dangerous,” a U.S. team of 5^th grade students from Bretton Woods Elementary School in Hauppauge, New York, included AJ, Colin, Greyson, Lucas, Mason and Matthew. They developed a smart app to monitor air and water quality to alert users about potential disease risks. Their solution aligned with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
• “Head 2 Toe,” a team comprised of Grade 8^th grade students Christina, Grace and Soy from Zion Heights Junior High School in Toronto, Canada, introduced an app that supports individuals facing mental or physical health challenges. It aligned with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
• “Inovação em Ação”(which means “Innovation in Action” in Portuguese) was a group of three 12th grade students from Col. Eestabual in Alvorada do Sul, Brazil that included Ana Paula, Julia and Larissa. They presented an automated system that can detect water problems and leaks, alert users, shut off the water supply when necessary, and more. It supported SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.
• “Yellow Sunflowers,” a group of four 12^th grade students from Marista Escola Social Irmão Acácio in Londrina, Brazil, included Isabelly, Maria Luiza, Mariane and Vivian. They showcased an inclusive digital platform featuring articles, videos, and courses designed to assist people living with medical comorbidities. Addressing SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, it would deliver information to both patients as well as emerging professionals, NGOs, public institutions, and universities.

About 5,420 submissions were considered in the North America portion of the competition before the judges narrowed the finalists down to “Don’t be Dangerous” and “Head2Toe.”

 

 

“Students come to goIT with a bit of curiosity about digital innovation and leave with practical skills,” said Lina Klebanov, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, North America, TCS. “They learn how to collaborate, ask better questions, use data, and explain a solution to an audience. Just as important, they begin to see themselves as global citizens—people who can use technology thoughtfully to improve lives.”
