In the lead-up to the Payments Summit in California, U.S., João Del Valle discusses the three trends to watch in digital commerce transactions

CURITIBA, Brazil and NAPA VALLEY, Calif. , Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The growth of new payment methods has indicated significant changes in digital commerce worldwide. For João Del Valle, CEO and Co-founder of EBANX, a global technology company specializing in payment services, the popularity of real-time payments like Pix in Brazil, UPI in India, PSE in Colombia, and mobile money in Kenya signifies a cultural shift in the digital payments market.

“Local payments are no longer exotic: they are mainstream for the global growth of global companies”, João Del Valle

“A2A [account to account] transactions growth is changing the way people consume online across the globe,” says Del Valle in the lead-up at the EBANX Payments Summit 2024 in Napa Valley, California. The event started in Barcelona, in Spain, on the 18th and will continue in the U.S. from September 30th to October 2nd, with keynote presentations by Stripe, Nubank, Banorte, and National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), besides EBANX. The Payments Summit 2024 will also include chapters in Bangkok, Thailand, and São Paulo, Brazil.

The CEO of EBANX, who will discuss the future of the digital payments market at the event in Napa Valley, highlights three trends in the digital economy that global companies need to pay attention to. Aside from the cultural shift driven by the popularity of A2A transactions, he points out the transformation of payments into digital channels due to consumer behavior and the rise of innovative services that combine credit and debit cards with alternative payment methods (APMs).

Still regarding A2A transactions, Del Valle shares that, in Brazil, the fintech’s merchants saw a 16% increase in revenue after integrating Pix solution with EBANX, and a 25% increase in their client base. According to data from Payments and Commerce Market Intelligence (PCMI), by 2025, 44% of digital commerce volume in Brazil will be paid with Pix, surpassing credit cards’ volume, which will account for a 41% share. “The popularity of Pix is a sign of the future of APMs across the globe,” states the CEO of EBANX.

In Colombia, PSE already dominates digital commerce, with a 31% share of all volume transacted online in the country, per PCMI. “And it’s not only about offering more options. It is also about bringing people in,” says Del Valle. He reveals PSE brought more than half of all new customers for two online retail companies that process payments with EBANX over a three-year period.

Another success story is mobile money in Kenya, which accounts for 48% of all digital commerce in the country. “A mobile-native method, for a mobile-savvy population. At EBANX, this is the first choice of payment method for all merchants starting in Kenya,” adds the CEO of the global fintech. The A2A transactions, the executive comments, are playing an important role in digital inclusion worldwide.

Customer behavior changing digital commerce

In India, the growth of UPI since it launched in 2016 has sparked a revolution, transforming the former cash-based economy into a digital payments powerhouse, with 55% share of digital commerce, per PCMI, and the potential for 80% penetration, according to India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

In another cash-based country, Egypt, consumer habits are transforming the payments market – and the digital economy. There, 64% of the volume in digital commerce is paid with cash, cash-based vouchers or QR code, available for both banked and unbanked consumers. “They are literally digitizing cash, making the global digital economy available for everyone – including the majority of the population who does not have access to financial accounts or cards,” explains the CEO of EBANX.

Hybrid payment methods

Del Valle also talks about the balance between cards and APMs across rising markets when it comes to digital commerce, and how they complement each other – both where cards prevail, and where APMs are kings. Another change pointed out by Del Valle is the innovative combination of APMs and cards into hybrid payment methods in emerging markets.

In Tanzania, he adds, mobile money is enabling card payments in digital commerce, with M-Pesa partnering with Visa for a virtual card. Meanwhile, in India, credit cards are seamlessly integrated with UPI, enabling credit card payments through the instant payments app, in a well–known UX and flow. A report from PwC published last August indicated that the number of credit cards in the country is expected to double by 2029.

According to the CEO of EBANX, the focus of the EBANX Payments Summit is to demonstrate how companies can achieve global growth in digital commerce by adding rising markets into their global expansion plans, and navigating the complexities and nuances of local payments. “Local payments are no longer exotic: they are mainstream for the global growth of global companies,” says Del Valle

Air and Fathom5 Partner to Modernize Naval Fleet Readiness

Published

By

ARLINGTON, Va. and AUSTIN, Texas, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Air, the leader in Enterprise Readiness, and Fathom5, a technology company dedicated to secure infrastructure for AI-powered machines, today announced a strategic partnership to transform the U.S. Navy’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities.

The collaboration follows Fathom5’s selection as a winner in the Defense Innovation Unit’s NextMRO Prize Challenge Phase III, which aims to replace antiquated, siloed logistics frameworks with integrated, data-driven software. Fathom5 won based on its ability to transform real-world Navy data into intuitive, sailor-facing applications at the tactical edge.

To scale this solution for enterprise-wide Navy procurement, Fathom5 and Air are uniting Fathom5’s industry-leading, warship-deployed Condition-Based Maintenance AI with Air’s Enterprise Readiness platform. Air’s platform is purpose-built to close the “Readiness Gap”—the dangerous chasm between what the front line needs and what the enterprise delivers. It fuses predictive analytics, supply chain visibility, and repair cycle forecasting into a unified system that operates across Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot maintenance.

Together, the companies will address the Navy’s most critical sustainment vulnerabilities with the ability to:

Eliminate data silos and provide a single, authoritative source of truth.Use natural language to query technical manuals, analyze parts availability, proactively forecast issues, and identify alternative vendors in seconds, andAllow forward-deployed Sailors to execute work orders offline in Degraded, Denied, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments.

Proven Defense Impact

Air brings a successful track record of optimization across the Department of War. In recent sustainment operations, Air delivered a 99.6% reduction in part identification time, identifying replacement parts and suitable substitutes in minutes instead of days. By accelerating part allocation and replacing manual processes, the platform has saved commands hundreds of down days annually while sustaining 90% equipment readiness across echelons.

“This partnership will be pivotal as we work to close the Readiness Gap,” said Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air. “Together, Fathom5 and Air are uniquely positioned to accelerate Naval logistics by drastically shortening turnaround times, maximizing asset availability, and executing modern digital workflows at the speed of operational demand.”

“The future of naval readiness depends on giving Sailors the right information at the right time, wherever the mission takes them,” said Zac Staples, Founder and CEO of Fathom5. “By combining Fathom5’s AI-powered Condition-Based Maintenance capabilities with Air’s Enterprise Readiness platform, we’re helping transform maintenance from a reactive process into a predictive, data-driven advantage. Together, we’re enabling a more resilient fleet that can sustain operations in contested environments while keeping more ships mission-ready.”

About Fathom5

Fathom5, headquartered in Austin, Texas, develops secure digital infrastructure and advanced actuator technologies that strengthen the resilience and readiness of complex industrial systems. The company has achieved significant milestones, including delivering the first program-of-record artificial intelligence system deployed aboard a U.S. Navy warship and securing 17 patents across actuator technology and cybersecurity. Through its flagship Nsyte platform, Fathom5 provides secure edge infrastructure for maintenance and readiness applications, enabling advanced analytics and actionable insights at the point of need.  For more information, please visit www.fathom5.com.

About Air

Air, formerly Govini, created Enterprise Readiness, a new category of AI-native systems that close the Readiness Gap, the dangerous chasm between what the front line needs and what the national security enterprise can deliver. Air Enterprise Readiness platform aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system, revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating critical resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands.The result: the national security enterprise has what it needs to succeed. For more information on Air and the Enterprise Readiness platform, visit www.air.ai.

DoubleLine Paper: Honebuto Shock: Japan Courts a Truss-Like Redux

Published

on

By

TAMPA, Fla., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sell-offs in Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) and the yen have put Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on notice, a DoubleLine paper argues, that Japan’s creditors have little tolerance for her government’s unorthodox proposal for a mixture of unfunded fiscal expansion with docile central-banking. 

Surveying the “Honebuto shock,” so-named after debt-and-yen sell-off following Tokyo’s annual fiscal policy statement, Bill Campbell, head of the DoubleLine’s Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team, sees parallels to the gilts and British pound revolt over a 2022 proposal for unfunded fiscal expansion by U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss that swiftly brought down her government.

“Having committed to more than 370 trillion yen of public-private investment through fiscal 2040, the government is calling for monetary policy “in coordination with” that growth agenda,” Mr. Campbell writes. “In the eyes of the financial markets, this demand for the subordination of monetary policy to a political platform only adds fuel to the fire beneath a central bank already under criticism for what critics deem an overly cautious rate-hiking path.”

Mr. Campbell warns, “The Takaichi government should not assume the JGB market, having found its voice, will prove more patient than the gilts market that laid low the Truss government in 2022. In today’s inflationary climate, fiscal credibility is earned, not presumed – even in the G-7 countries. And a G-7 sovereign who embarks on unfunded fiscal expansion risks courting a buyers’ strike.”

The paper, titled “Honebuto Shock: Japan Courts a Truss-Like Redux,” is available here: https://doubleline.com/wp-content/uploads/DoubleLine_Honebuto-Truss-Redux_Campbell_071526.pdf

Mr. Campbell heads the Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team at DoubleLine and serves as the lead Portfolio Manager for emerging markets and international fixed-income strategies. He is a permanent member of the firm’s Fixed Income Asset Allocation Committee. Mr. Campbell has written extensively in research papers and client briefings on evolving trends and episodic developments in global fixed income and currency markets. He holds a B.S. in Business Economics and International Business, as well as a B.A. in English, from Pennsylvania State University and an M.A. in Mathematics, with a focus on Mathematical Finance, from Boston University.

About the Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets Team

The Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team at DoubleLine manages $XX billion in assets in sovereign debt, including U.S. Treasuries and non-U.S. sovereign issues, and corporate fixed income securities by issuers domiciled in ex-U.S. developed and emerging markets.

Signeasy expands beyond eSignatures with Intelligent Contract Management for growing businesses

Published

By

The platform combines eSignatures, AI-powered contract insights, renewal tracking, and a centralized contract repository to help businesses manage contracts from signature to renewal.

DALLAS, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Signeasy today announced its Intelligent Contract Management platform, extending its product capabilities into every stage of the contract lifecycle. The platform gives Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, and Operations teams one place to sign, manage, and get insights from every contract.

For most growing businesses, the real work starts after a contract is signed. Renewal dates, payment terms, obligations, and key clauses end up scattered across inboxes, shared drives, and spreadsheets. Without a large legal operations team, keeping track of them is manual, reactive work.

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform closes this gap. It brings eSignatures, a contract repository, and contract intelligence into one platform.

“Contracts touch every part of a business — Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, Operations — but the tools to effectively manage them have always been built for enterprise legal teams. We built Intelligent Contract Management so lean teams get the same contract visibility and intelligence as companies five times their size.”

— Sunil Patro, Founder & CEO, Signeasy

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform includes:

Centralized Contract Repository: Store every executed contract in one searchable place — no digging through inboxes or shared drives.Conversational AI search: Ask questions about any contract in plain language, follow-up, and get answers with context instead of reviewing documents manually. Customer data is never used to train AI models.Key Term Extraction: Surface payment terms, renewal dates, obligations, and termination clauses instantly.Renewal Tracking and Alerts: Get automated reminders before contracts expire or auto-renew, so commitments never catch teams by surprise.Team Workspaces: Share visibility into contract status, with confidentiality controls for every team that touches contracts.eSignatures: Collect legally binding signatures from anywhere, on any device, and automate approval workflows to get contracts signed faster.

There’s no six-month implementation cycle. Businesses can bulk import existing contracts and onboard teams within hours with hands-on support from Signeasy.

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform is available now. Visit www.signeasy.com to request a demo.

Signeasy is an Intelligent Contract Management (ICM) platform built for growing businesses managing contracts across Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, and Operations.
