Minimalist Identity to Lead the New Era of Fintech

Hong Kong, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eddid Financial (the “Group”) today announced a comprehensive upgrade of its visual identity system, headlined by the debut of a new corporate logo. This brand evolution marks a pivotal milestone in the Group’s digital transformation and fintech journey. By adopting a more agile, modern, and client-centric international image, Eddid Financial aims to solidify its position as a pioneer in integrating traditional finance with digital assets.

The new identity moves away from the previous dual-tone, layered graphic design in favor of a minimalist wordmark: “Eddid.”. This visual simplification reflects a profound elevation of the Group’s strategic thinking, embodying the core philosophy of driving service through technology and mastering complexity with simplicity.

Complexity Simplified: Focusing on Core Values

At its heart, financial services are about problem-solving and trust. As fintech evolves, users increasingly demand intuitive, efficient, and transparent experiences. By streamlining complex graphics into the approachable, rounded “Eddid.” typography, the Group symbolizes a departure from traditional financial red tape toward the ultimate simplification of service processes. The openness of the new design echoes the Group’s strategic blueprint for next-generation finance and global market connectivity.

Three Core Highlights of the New Identity

Open Structure, Boundless Innovation
The capitalized “E” features an open-ended design, significantly reducing visual weight while imbuing the brand with a sense of modern tech agility. This symbolizes a spirit of “breaking boundaries and constant challenge”. As the Group expands its digital asset footprint, this open “E” represents a gateway for global users to access future wealth opportunities.

Vibrant Palette, Tech-Driven Vitality
A brighter, more energetic blue replaces the former navy and yellow combination. This new palette preserves the industry’s core attributes of “security and stability” while injecting the “innovation and vitality” inherent to tech enterprises. It perfectly aligns with Eddid Financial’s market positioning as a frontrunner in fintech and digital assets.

The Finishing Touch: A Complete Ecosystem
The period at the end of the logo symbolizes harmony, integrity, and longevity. Beyond adding a distinctive visual anchor, it represents the Group’s firm commitment to compliance and credibility. It further illustrates Eddid Financial’s one-stop financial ecosystem—connecting investment banking, asset management, wealth management, digital assets, and fintech—to meet the comprehensive needs of both institutional and retail clients.

Visual Evolution, Strategic Execution

This brand upgrade is a tangible manifestation of the Group’s long-term strategy. The shift from complex graphics to minimalist typography is more than a visual refresh; it is a promise to our users, the market, and the future.

Moving forward, Eddid Financial will leverage the “Eddid.” identity to deepen its roots in Hong Kong while expanding its global reach. The Group remains committed to R&D investment and the synergistic development of digital assets and traditional finance, delivering smarter, more convenient, and secure global trading and financial services to investors worldwide.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

Published

By

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
