Verra Mobility Reaches Framework Agreement with Avis Budget Group

Published

on

MESA, Ariz., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Avis Budget Group (“ABG”) on the key commercial terms of a new seven-year tolling and violations services contract and are working collaboratively to finalize the remaining operational terms and conditions. This redefined commercial relationship will give ABG the option to selectively perform certain activities internally. While Verra Mobility is not disclosing the commercial terms, from a financial perspective, the terms of the new agreement are expected to be materially less favorable to the Company when compared to the prior agreement it had with ABG.

Jon Keyser, president and chief executive officer of Verra Mobility, said, “We have been focused on strengthening our customer-centric culture by listening closely, moving with greater urgency and aligning our business and technology investments with our customers’ evolving priorities. Reengaging with ABG is a positive step forward for Verra Mobility that reflects the strength of our differentiated technology platform and our expertise in complex tolls and violations management for large vehicle fleets. We are pleased to extend the nearly two-decade partnership between our companies, and we look forward to helping power ABG’s tolling program and delivering efficient, seamless experiences for both their operations and the customers they serve.”

As Geopolitical Forces Shape Australian Markets, Mitrade Announces Bloomberg.com Partnership for a Better-Informed Financial World

Published

on

By

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global broker Mitrade today announced a partnership with Bloomberg.com as geopolitical developments influence Australian currency, commodity and equity markets. For traders navigating these cross-border movements, timely news and broader context are becoming increasingly important.

Earlier this year, conflict in the Middle East interrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and drove sharp volatility in global oil prices. Weeks later, the Reserve Bank of Australia raised the cash rate to 4.35%, citing conflict-related fuel pressures alongside elevated domestic inflation, with implications for the Australian dollar, bond yields and equity indices. Intervals between a geopolitical event and its local market consequence keeps shortening.

Against this backdrop, Mitrade’s partnership with Bloomberg.com reflects the growing importance of credible business and financial information in understanding increasingly interconnected global markets. Bloomberg.com offers expert insights, custom watchlists, data tools, and 24/7 live TV and radio, helping its users connect the dots between markets, policy and global business.

“Australian traders operate in markets where information is abundant, but credibility is not. Bloomberg.com’s trusted reporting and analysis bring depth to our commitment to market access and trader education,” said Elven Jong, CEO of Mitrade Australia. “From today, selected Mitrade Pro clients receive Bloomberg.com subscriptions, helping them make better-informed decisions. This is a first step: we hope to deepen the synergy between Mitrade’s trader-first approach and Bloomberg.com’s global perspective in the coming year.”

To date, Mitrade has received 65 industry awards across global and regional categories. Its recent accolades include Regulated Broker of the Year Global and Best Broker Education Global from International Business Magazine, and Best CFD Broker Global from Global Business & Finance Magazine. Together, these accolades recognise Mitrade’s continued progress across regulatory standards, trader education and CFD brokerage.

About Mitrade

MAC.BID Brings $1 Online Auctions & Deep Retail Discounts to the St. Louis Metro

New St. Peters warehouse lets local shoppers bid on returned, overstock goods from top national retailers, with savings of up to 80% off retail

PITTSBURGH, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Online retail liquidation company, MAC.BID, announced today the opening of its 30th retail location in St. Peters, Missouri, part of the St. Louis metro area. The new facility, located at 16060 Spencer Road St. Peters, MO 63376, will open later this fall and is expected to create more than 70 new local jobs.

St. Peters warehouse lets shoppers bid on returned, overstock goods from national retailers, with savings of up to 80%

MAC.BID buys returned and overstocked products by the truckload from top retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, and Wayfair and resells the items individually through their proprietary online auction platform. All products are put up for auction with an opening bid of $1, and are sold to the highest bidder with no reserve price. Winning bidders can expect to save up to 80% off retail while enjoying the online auction process.

“We’re excited to become part of the St. Peters and the larger St. Louis Metro community as we open our 30th warehouse,” said Kellen Campbell, co-founder and president of MAC.BID. “We see real opportunity here, for the local economy, for the more than 70 people we’ll hire, and for shoppers across the St. Louis metro area looking for a smarter way to save.”

MAC.BID operates at the heart of retailers’ biggest headache: reverse logistics. MAC.BID works directly with major retailers to process truckloads of returned and overstock merchandise that would otherwise be difficult and costly for retailers to handle internally. Retail returns require significant labor, time, and warehouse space to inspect, sort, and re-route back to inventory, often at a scale that makes it inefficient for retailers to manage in-house. Instead, many retailers choose to sell this inventory in bulk to MAC.BID, allowing products to move quickly through a streamlined resale process.

“As grocery bills, gas prices, and everyday costs keep climbing, families are having to choose between the things they need and the things they love,” Campbell added. “MAC.BID changes that. We deliver deep discounts on the products people already love and make saving money feel like winning, not settling.”

At its core, MAC.BID believes in providing second chances for the products they sell and communities they impact. The company’s devotion to sustainability ensures that many returned and overstocked items find a new home through its marketplace and aren’t left squandered.

The Pennsylvania-based company now employs over 1,600 teammates across its 30 locations in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. In 2025 alone, MAC.BID helped customers save more than $1.1 billion off retail pricing, driven by more than 17,000 truckloads of products processed and 300,000+ items put up for auction daily through the company’s auction platform.
