ST. HELIER, Jersey, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bloomsbury Money Jersey has integrated ClearBank’s banking infrastructure into its global network. This move brings advanced payment capabilities to Bloomsbury Money’s institutional clients, allowing them to move funds faster and more securely across multiple industries and jurisdictions.

Driven by a commitment to market fairness and transparency, Bloomsbury Money, regulated in Jersey/Channel Islands as an e-money institution and VASP, utilizes an open, multi-bank network. The platform continuously integrates diverse banking partners to ensure international clients benefit from robust options, greater resilience, and a wider choice of global currencies and local payment systems.

Through this new integration with ClearBank, clients will be able to access SEPA, SEPA Instant, SWIFT, GBP clearing including Faster Payments, CHAPS and BACS, and Wire services across G10 currencies. All payments and banking services are accessed directly through Bloomsbury Money’s native, in-house built banking platform, ensuring a smooth and unified user experience.

The expanded service suite includes:

Real-time FX conversionsLocal and cross-border paymentsReal named accounts and virtual IBANsCorporate debit cards (launching soon) for business expense management, high-net-worth individuals, and private family offices.

Bridging the Gap in Cross-Border Payments
A key focus of this expansion is Bloomsbury Money’s unique ability to offer access to both stablecoin and traditional fiat banking rails. By linking these two systems together, the platform significantly cuts down settlement times for international transactions, removing traditional friction from cross-border commerce.

Industry Commentary
“As a next generation neobank, our focus is entirely on removing friction through smart technology,” concluded Chris Park, CEO of Bloomsbury Money. “Building our platform entirely in-house allows us to deliver seamless banking services that adapt directly to the high standards of our institutional clients.”

“We’re pleased to support Bloomsbury Money as it expands the capabilities available to its clients.,” said Emma Hagan, UK CEO of ClearBank. “Through ClearBank’s secure, regulated banking infrastructure, clients can access a broader range of payment and account services through a single platform, helping them move money more efficiently across markets and currencies. We’re focused on providing the banking infrastructure that allows our clients to innovate, scale and deliver more for their own customers.”

For too long, institutional finance has been held back by legacy infrastructure, built decades ago. These outdated traditional banking rails often cause delays, high fees, and a lack of transparency. In today’s fast-moving economy, there is a real urgency for banking innovation that matches the speed of modern global business, especially in highly specialized sectors.

“We are excited to bring these customized banking rails to Jersey and other offshore trust companies and funds,” said Michael Idzkowski, Co-founder of Bloomsbury Money. “Offshore markets have unique requirements, and this network expansion gives them the specialized tools they need to manage complex flows efficiently.”

As international commerce grows, the friction within traditional cross-border payment systems has become a major roadblock. Resolving these delays requires looking beyond old banking models and adopting fresh systems that bridge the gap between traditional money and digital assets, whilst maintaining the highest level of regulatory and legal compliance.

“The landscape of global money movement is changing,” added Chris Clarke, Head of Compliance at Bloomsbury Money. “By combining stablecoin and fiat banking rails, we are truly innovating cross-border payments. We are giving clients the speed of digital assets with the safety and familiarity of traditional banking whilst ensuring adherence to JFSC and global compliance standards.”

To truly fix these legacy issues, financial platforms cannot simply patch up old systems. Real innovation requires building smart, modern technology from the ground up to provide a smooth, and scalable user experience.

August 15, 2026

The minimal-ingredient whey protein powders are now available in 1.48 lb canisters at select Walmart locations nationwide, along with single-serve sachets in Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate.

JUPITER, Fla., Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Levels announced the launch of 1.48 lb canisters of Strawberry and Unflavored Whey Protein Powders, along with single-serve offerings in two of its most popular whey protein flavors, Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate.

Levels® Launches Strawberry and Unflavored Whey Protein Powders at Select Walmart Stores Nationwide

These four products join Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate 1.48 lb canisters already at Walmart stores across the U.S. The expanded flavor offerings broaden Walmart shoppers’ access to Levels’ whey protein, giving consumers new flavor and size options.

The Unflavored Whey Protein Powder boasts 25g of protein and 5.6g of BCAAs per scoop, with only two ingredients total. The Strawberry Whey Protein Powder contains 24g of protein and 5.4g of BCAAs per scoop, with only eight ingredients.

Both products hold the Clean Label Project® Purity Award. The rigorous testing screens for over 400 potential contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers, making it one of the most demanding certifications in the industry and one that’s held by less than 30% of brands in the space.

“Consumers are demanding better protein — products made with real ingredients they can actually trust,” said Blake Niemann, Founder & CEO of Levels. “Launching four flavors and sizes that are new to Walmart makes it easier than ever for people to enjoy high-quality whey protein made with minimal ingredients, transparent sourcing, and nothing artificial.”

“Walmart is a best-in-class retail partner for Levels, and we’re excited to bring new flavors and sizes to Walmart shoppers across the country. This continued expansion increases Levels’ Walmart distribution by nearly 120%, reinforcing the brand’s strong and growing presence at retail.”

In an industry beset by rising concerns about product safety and ingredient sourcing, Levels stands out with its radically simple approach and minimal 6–8 ingredient formulas. Levels sources grass-fed, hormone-free dairy to make its whey protein concentrate, the least-processed form of whey.

In addition to Walmart, Levels can be found at major retailers including Sam’s Club, Costco, Target, Kroger, Meijer, Wegmans, H-E-B, and Amazon. Levels products are also available online at levelsprotein.com and through leading retail websites.

About Levels
Founded by Blake Niemann, Levels was built on a simple belief: protein powder shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to understand. The brand builds its whey powders around high protein content, minimal ingredients, and flavors that are ridiculously good tasting — a formula that has driven distribution to a projected 10,000 retail locations and 30,000 points of distribution in 2026.

About Walmart
Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) serves customers at more than 10,500 stores and clubs in 19 countries, as well as at Walmart.com, with the purpose of saving people money so they can live better. Since 1962, Walmart has been committed to creating opportunities and bringing value to customers, associates, and communities around the world.

Creality Launches SPARKX i7 Nano: Bringing Compact Multi-Color Printing to $299

Published

1 hour ago

August 15, 2026

HOUSTON, Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, today announced the availability of the SPARKX i7 Nano, the latest addition to its i7 series. This desktop 3D printer saves space while delivering premium print quality across up to four colors. With a minimalist design that fits easily on a desk, the i7 Nano makes multi-color 3D printing more compact, affordable, and accessible.

Following the January debut of the i7 Color Combo, the i7 Nano is also built for smarter, more effortless 3D printing. It integrates AI-powered capabilities that simplify both creation and printing, including CubeMe for automatically turning 2D portraits into multi-color 3D models. A built-in 720p AI camera monitors prints for common failures such as spaghetti and air printing, while vibration compensation and dynamic pressure adjustment help maintain consistent print quality.

Beyond these shared features, the i7 Nano comes with an integrated spool holder and optimized filament layout, taking up less desktop space and making it easier to fit into compact workspaces. The spool holder mounts directly onto the printer body with a convenient snap-on design, eliminating the need for an external CFS Lite. This compact solution keeps the printer’s footprint small while maintaining a clean appearance without compromising printing performance.

Paired with the new CFS nano Kit, a small unit mounted on top of the printer, the i7 Nano enables vibrant multi-color printing with automatic filament switching for up to four colors. The CFS nano features a dual-motor system, with one motor controlling filament channel switching and the other handling filament feeding and retraction. This ensures smooth and efficient color changes while keeping the overall setup streamlined. The CFS nano also allows quick installation without complex disassembly or modifications and is compatible with existing i7 units.

The i7 Nano features a build volume of 260 × 260 × 255 mm and a maximum printing speed of up to 500 mm/s. It supports a hardened steel nozzle with a maximum temperature of 300°C and multiple nozzle diameters, including 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm. It is also equipped with automatic bed leveling, RFID filament reading and automatic filament refill to deliver an easy-to-use and reliable printing experience for beginners.

The SPARKX i7 Nano with CFS nano Kit will be available starting from August 15 for $299 in the U.S. at the Creality US Store.
