WOBURN, Mass., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — FusionIQ, a leader in the delivery of cloud-based wealth management solutions, today announced the launch of FIQ Wallet, the industry’s first digital wealth management platform designed specifically for digital wallet companies. This groundbreaking solution empowers wallet providers to expand their service offerings beyond payments by integrating sophisticated wealth management capabilities, such as goals-based digital advice and self-directed investing.

“We are excited to launch FIQ Wallet as the next evolution in digital wealth management,” said Eric Noll, CEO of FusionIQ. “This product aligns with FusionIQ’s mission to democratize wealth management by providing wallet users with access to investment services directly within their wallets.

Bridging the Gap Between Payments and Wealth Management

Wallet providers are increasingly essential to industries where companies use digital wallets to pay 1099 employees. In 2023, digital wallets dominated point-of-sale transactions, accounting for 30% of global transactions, and led online purchases with 50% of transactions. The total value of digital wallet transactions reached $9 trillion, while the global mobile payment market was valued at $72.5 billion. In the U.S., 65% of adults used a digital wallet at least once a month, with 53% using it more frequently than traditional payment methods.

With FIQ Wallet, users can now invest their earnings directly from their payment wallets without the need to transfer funds to traditional bank accounts, reducing fees and simplifying the process. By keeping money within the wallet and allowing it to grow through investments, FIQ Wallet increases the “stickiness” of digital wallets, leading to higher user engagement, while offering the following benefits:

Fast Onboarding: A streamlined digital account opening process allows users to securely invest in as little as five minutes.A Unified Investing Experience: FIQ Wallet combines digital advice and self-directed brokerage for a seamless investor experience.Intelligent Goals-Based Investing: Sophisticated tools help users turn financial aspirations into achievable targets with real-time progress tracking.Modern Trading Tools: FIQ Wallet offers sophisticated trading tools for various investment styles, supporting both fractional and whole-share investing.Enterprise-Grade Security: SOC 2 Type II Compliance and continuous security monitoring ensure the highest standards of data protection.

This solution is easy to implement and can be fully integrated into wallet platforms in as little as six weeks. Wallet providers can offer their users a unified view of their digital finances, with sophisticated tools for goals-based investing, risk management, and more. This product is a game changer for wallet companies, and we’re proud to be the first to deliver this capability to the market.”

FIQ Wallet offers a customized workflow built specifically for wallet companies and their unique role in the payments industry. Unlike traditional solutions developed for banks or credit unions, this platform is tailored to meet the needs of wallet users who expect instant, seamless transactions.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
