HONG KONG, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced it has partnered with Ryt Bank, the world’s first AI-powered bank in Malaysia, delivers a conversational banking experience for everyday payments. Leveraging Tencent Cloud Chat (IM) as its real-time communication foundation, Ryt Bank will deliver an advanced conversational banking experience to users in Malaysia, ensuring the secure and stable transmission of AI commands and transaction information.

Shaping the Next Chapter of Digital Banking
Ryt Bank was established to reimagine how modern digital banking should work – where financial services are fast, intuitive, and always available. The goal is to reduce unnecessary complexity in everyday banking interactions, achieving a “Zero User Interface (Zero-UI)” model where a traditional 8-step process is reduced to a single sentence. For example, instead of navigating complex menus, users can simply state, “Send RM100 to Amelia,” and the system executes the transaction. To support this, Ryt Bank partnered with Tencent Cloud. Its conversational platform utilizes Tencent Cloud Chat (IM), which is built on the same messaging technology that powers the Tencent ecosystem globally, serving over 1 billion monthly active users and processing more than 550 billion messages per day at peak.

Driving Rapid Growth with Proven Performance
Building on this foundation, Tencent Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of features to ensure business continuity and a seamless user experience. This stability proved critical on the launch day of Ryt Bank, when Tencent Cloud Chat (IM) supported the platform in managing a traffic surge from 50,000 active users with zero downtime. This robust performance has fueled Ryt Bank’s rapid growth. In just over 7 months since its launch, the bank has surpassed 1.2 million users, with nearly half of Ryt Bank customers actively engaging with its core innovation, Ryt AI. Developed in partnership with YTL AI Labs and built on ILMU, Malaysia’s sovereign AI model, Ryt AI has become an integral part of users’ daily banking experience, enabling conversational banking at scale.

Ensuring Enhanced Security and Global Reach
Security and compliance remain paramount in the financial industry. Tencent Cloud Chat (IM) offers a stable and reliable communication infrastructure to protect every transaction with enhanced security. All data is protected with end-to-end, high-performance encryption and supports complete message auditing for full traceability, ensuring the process is safe, seamless, and meets stringent banking standards. With a global network of over 3,200 acceleration edge nodes and localized infrastructure, Tencent Cloud delivers a smooth, low-latency user experience. The platform’s support for Malay, English, and Chinese further enables Ryt Bank to serve its diverse user base effectively.

Kenneth Siow, Regional Director for Southeast Asia and General Manager for Singapore & Malaysia at Tencent Cloud International said, “Southeast Asia is a key hub for digital innovation, and we are proud to support ambitious pioneers like Ryt Bank in creating a future-forward banking experience. This collaboration highlights our commitment to empower local businesses in Malaysia and across the region to build the next generation of services by providing the robust and high-speed infrastructure they need to create enhanced customer experiences.”

Wilson Soon, interim CEO of Ryt Bank said, “Our mission is to empower Malaysians to drive intelligent, AI-powered banking, delivering smarter, faster finance and real impact for all. Tencent Cloud has been a strategic partner in achieving this goal. The Tencent Cloud Chat (IM) feature was straightforward to integrate, providing the stable, low-latency communication required to handle high-concurrency transactions smoothly, which is fundamental to our growth and our ability to strengthen customer trust.”

Tencent Cloud is dedicated to empowering the global enterprise community through its advanced, high-performance solutions. With a fast-growing international presence covering over 80 countries and regions, Tencent Cloud will continue to introduce its core technologies to overseas markets, helping clients across industries accelerate their intelligent transformation and achieve sustainable business growth.

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

2 hours ago

October 22, 2026

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.
