BingX Partners with Save the Children to Support Children at Risk in Western Balkans

Published

on

The new partnership will support migrant children and children at risk of poverty and exclusion by strengthening resilience systems in the Western Balkans through community-based services working alongside well-established local NGO partners.

PANAMA CITY, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3-AI company, has partnered with Save the Children Hong Kong to enable Save the Children’s “Safety Nets and Resilient Families” thematic work in the Western Balkans, supporting children in underprivileged settings in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina affected by migration, poverty and social exclusion.

This partnership marks Save the Children Hong Kong’s first collaboration with a cryptocurrency company and reflects a shared commitment to leveraging innovation to create meaningful social impact for children and families affected by poverty, displacement and social exclusion.

Implemented in collaboration with Save the Children, the initiative will provide humanitarian assistance to refugee and migrant children through cash vouchers and essential non-food items. As children and families seek refuge in Europe, many transit through a key country on the so-called Balkans route, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they often face significant hardships at every stage of their journey. Save the Children is the only organization providing cash voucher assistance as a core component of its child protection response, helping families meet their essential daily needs while preserving dignity and choice.

Through the partnership, BingX will also support comprehensive protection and education services for children at risk of poverty and exclusion through community-based drop-in centres run by local NGO partners with proven expertise in the communities they serve. With one in five children living at risk of poverty and exclusion in Serbia, and one in three children living in consumption-based poverty in Bosnia and Herzegovina*, these community centres are of critical importance. They support children facing a range of challenges, including those living in substandard conditions in informal settlements, children engaged in street work, and those at risk of violence and child marriage—all of whom are disproportionately affected by extreme poverty, discrimination, and social exclusion.

At these centres, children have access to safe and supportive environments managed by experienced child protection professionals. Services include nutritious food, hygiene assistance, psychosocial support, educational guidance, legal aid, counselling, and family-strengthening programs.

Nevena Milutinovic, Save the Children Northwest Balkans Country Director, said: “Every child deserves to be protected and have a chance at a better future—and together with our partners, we work to make sure they grow up supported and included. Through our partnership with BingX, we can continue reaching children and families who need support and strengthen community drop-in centres—places that make a real difference for children facing some of the greatest barriers in the region. Children tell us that support like cash vouchers and community centres means much more than basic services. These are interventions that ensure they feel seen and supported by caring adults, make friends, feel secure, gain access to education and new opportunities, and reclaim their childhood.”

“Innovation creates its greatest value when it helps address real-world challenges. At BingX, we are committed to fostering a safe and secure future—not only within the digital asset ecosystem, but also within the communities around us. Children are the foundation of tomorrow, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Through our partnership with Save the Children, we are proud to help protect the future by supporting children facing poverty, displacement, and social exclusion,” said Pablo Monti, BingX Spokesperson. “This partnership also forms part of BingX’s broader commitment to supporting education, inclusion, and community resilience initiatives globally, reflecting the company’s belief that technological innovation should create positive impact beyond the digital economy.”

Racquel Oden to Receive The ELC’s 2026 Achievement Award for Leadership in Financial Services and Expanding Opportunity

Published

By

HSBC executive recognized for a career building businesses, developing talent, and widening access to wealth and financial prosperity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) will honor Racquel Oden, HSBC’s U.S. Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking and Private Banking, with the 2026 ELC Achievement Award at The ELC Recognition Gala on October 30, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

With more than 25 years of financial services experience, Oden has built a career at the intersection of business growth, client leadership, and talent development. At HSBC, she leads businesses serving affluent and globally connected clients in the United States, bringing a client-first approach to one of the world’s largest financial services organizations.

“Racquel brings a rare combination of commercial discipline and genuine investment in people,” said Michael C. Hyter, President and CEO of The Executive Leadership Council. “She understands that leadership is measured in business results, certainly, but also in the people you prepare for greater responsibility and the doors you make easier for others to open. Her career reflects the kind of enterprise leadership The ELC has championed for 40 years.”

Oden’s career spans some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Prior to HSBC, she served as a Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led Network Expansion and held leadership roles across national sales, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. She previously spent eight years at Merrill Lynch in several Managing Director roles and more than a decade at UBS in senior leadership positions. She began her Wall Street career in equity trading at Morgan Stanley.

Throughout that journey, Oden has described her leadership philosophy as one rooted in service and in helping people become the strongest versions of themselves. That philosophy also informs her work to expand access to wealth, opportunity, and financial fluency.

Her leadership extends across corporate and civic institutions. Oden serves on the corporate board of National Life Group and chairs the Board of Directors of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. She also serves on the boards of the Apollo Theater and the New York City Police Foundation.

Her honors include the National Urban League’s 2026 Women of Power award and recognition among Barron’s Most Influential Women in Finance, American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Finance and Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

Oden holds a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University and an MBA from Hampton University.

The ELC Achievement Award recognizes corporate executives whose careers reflect exceptional professional accomplishment, leadership and impact. Oden joins a distinguished group of past ELC honorees whose influence has reached across companies, industries and communities.

The ELC Marks 40 Years of Developing Leaders
Oden will receive the Achievement Award during a milestone year for The Executive Leadership Council. Founded in 1986, The ELC is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026, marking four decades of developing leaders who perform at the highest levels of business and strengthening the leadership pipeline that sustains that excellence.

The 2026 ELC Recognition Gala will take place Friday, October 30, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist and Entertainment Tonight co-host Kevin Frazier, the black-tie celebration will feature a special musical performance by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Chaka Khan.

The Gala is the signature fundraising event of The ELC’s 2026 Gala Week, October 28–31, which will bring together more than 3,000 members, students, senior executives and business leaders as The ELC celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Gala Week is designed to span the leadership journey. The Honors Symposium connects ELC Scholars with senior executives and hiring managers as they prepare to enter the workplace. The Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium develops high-performing professionals preparing for greater leadership responsibility. Corporate Board Navigator helps ELC members prepare for corporate board service.
