Financial Expert Brad Bailey Explains How to Choose a Checking Account in HelloNation

Published

on

The article outlines key checking account features that can support everyday banking and long-term financial organization.

GREENVILLE, Texas, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should you look for in a checking account? A recent HelloNation article featuring insights from Financial Expert Brad Bailey, CEO of Red River Credit Union (RRCU), explores how consumers can evaluate account features that support everyday banking needs and financial organization.

The article explains that a checking account often serves as the foundation of daily money management. From receiving income and paying bills to making purchases and monitoring spending, the features attached to a checking account can influence how efficiently someone handles routine financial tasks. Because of this, the article encourages consumers to look beyond convenience alone and consider how an account fits their actual banking habits.

According to the article, one of the first steps in selecting a checking account is evaluating how money moves in and out of the account each month. Some consumers rely heavily on digital tools, while others prefer occasional branch visits. Understanding personal banking habits can help identify which features will provide the greatest value over time.

The HelloNation article notes that direct deposit remains one of the most important features for many account holders. A checking account that supports direct deposit can provide faster access to income while reducing the need to deposit paper checks. The article explains that automatic deposits may also make budgeting easier by creating a more consistent flow of funds into an account.

Another consideration discussed in the article is debit card access. Because many consumers use a debit card for purchases, bill payments, and daily expenses, reliable access to funds is essential. The article notes that understanding card features and transaction options can help account holders avoid inconvenience and maintain better awareness of available balances.

The article also examines the growing role of mobile banking in everyday financial management. Many consumers now use mobile banking to review account balances, transfer funds, monitor transactions, and deposit checks remotely. A checking account with strong mobile banking capabilities can make account management more convenient while helping users stay informed about spending activity throughout the month.

Fees are another area the article encourages consumers to review carefully. Different financial institutions may structure fees differently, including maintenance fees, overdraft charges, and other account-related costs. The article explains that reviewing fee disclosures before opening a checking account can help consumers better understand potential expenses and avoid surprises later.

ATM access is also highlighted as an important feature. Although many financial transactions occur digitally, access to cash remains necessary in certain situations. The article notes that a checking account with convenient ATM access can simplify withdrawals and help consumers avoid unnecessary charges when accessing their funds.

In addition, the article discusses the role a checking account plays in managing recurring expenses. Many households use a checking account for utilities, insurance premiums, subscriptions, and loan payments. A checking account that works efficiently with electronic bill payment systems can help streamline monthly responsibilities while providing a clearer view of overall cash flow.

The article concludes that choosing a checking account involves evaluating a combination of features, including direct deposit, debit card access, mobile banking, fees, ATM access, and bill payment capabilities. By reviewing these factors carefully, consumers can select an account that supports their everyday banking needs and adapts to changing financial habits over time.

Choosing a Checking Account That Fits Daily Life features insights from Brad Bailey, Financial Expert of Greenville, Texas, in HelloNation.

Health In Tech Launches HitRix to Modernize the Nearly $1 Trillion U.S. Self-Funded Health Insurance Market and Announces Updated 2026 Full-Year Revenue Guidance

Published

on

By

AI-powered HitRix platform streamlines large-group submissions, multi-market quoting, proposal comparison and placement in one secure environment, thereby reducing time to market.

STUART, Fla., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Health In Tech, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIT), an AI-enabled InsurTech platform company (“Health In Tech” or the “Company”), today announced the launch of HitRix, a new AI-powered platform designed to simplify one of the most complex and manual workflows in the large-group self-funded health insurance market, aiming to increase the efficiency of the process and speed to market, and representing another growth lever for the Company.

The Company also updated its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to approximately $33 million, roughly in line with 2025 revenue, primarily reflecting the timing of several strategic initiatives during 2026. Health In Tech expects HitRix, the Company’s Three-Year Rate Stabilization Program, which is a differentiated solution designed to provide employers with greater predictability in stop-loss pricing over a multi-year period, and expanded carrier capacity, to become more meaningful growth contributors beginning in 2027 and beyond.

Solving a Complex Large-Group Workflow

For brokers serving larger employers, bringing a case to market can require collecting significant volumes of employee census information, claims data, plan documents and other sensitive information; organizing files received in multiple formats; preparing submissions for different carriers and managing general underwriters (“MGUs”); tracking responses; and manually comparing proposals. HitRix is designed to simplify that process.

Through HitRix, brokers can securely upload case information in the formats in which they receive it. HitRix uses AI-powered document intelligence to ingest, extract, organize and structure the information, reducing the need for manual data entry and reformatting.

The platform then enables brokers to manage submissions across multiple carriers and MGUs, track market activity in one environment, organize incoming proposals and compare alternatives more efficiently.

By reducing repetitive administrative work, HitRix is designed to allow brokers to spend more time advising clients and less time managing documents, spreadsheets, emails and multiple insurance portals.

Unlike traditional submission tools focused primarily on document routing or RFP management, HitRix is integrated with Health In Tech’s broader underwriting and marketplace infrastructure, connecting submission, market access, analytics and transaction execution within one environment.

Established Distribution Foundation

HitRix launches across Health In Tech’s existing distribution ecosystem, which included 933 partners across brokers, third party administrators and agencies as of June 30, 2026, representing 19.9% year-over-year growth.

The Company believes this established network provides a foundation for HitRix’s adoption and continued expansion across participating carriers and MGUs. As more transactions move through the platform, Health In Tech also expects to build a growing base of structured market and placement data that can support additional analytics, workflow automation and AI-enabled capabilities.

“The challenge we are solving with HitRix goes far beyond putting an insurance submission online,” said Tim Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Health In Tech. “Large-group brokers often manage substantial amounts of census data, claims information and plan documents across different formats and systems. HitRix is designed to let AI handle much of that administrative work while giving brokers one environment to organize the case, access multiple markets and compare proposals.” 

“Our goal is to make it dramatically easier for brokers to shop the market while keeping them at the center of the client relationship,” Johnson added. “We believe HitRix represents an important step toward building a more connected and intelligent marketplace for self-funded health insurance.”

2026 Outlook and 2027 Growth Drivers

For full-year 2026, Health In Tech expects revenue of approximately $33 million, roughly in line with 2025 revenue. This revised outlook primarily reflects the timing of HitRix commercialization, the Three-Year Rate Stabilization Program and additional carrier capacity, which affect the timing of new policy effective dates and related revenue recognition.

The Company expects these initiatives to contribute more meaningfully in 2027 and beyond as adoption increases, carrier capacity expands and new business becomes effective.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein and in our investor conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements concerning our anticipated financial performance, guidance, long-term financial objectives and projections; anticipated synergies and other benefits; capital allocation plans, including planned share repurchases; revenue growth objectives and the expected timing and pace of realization; operating margin expansion objectives; customer demand, market opportunities and industry trends, including the anticipated impact of artificial intelligence; products, services, technologies, business offerings and models, strategies, and anticipated product performance and customer benefits; partnerships and customer agreements; and our operating structure and growth strategy. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology to convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Many risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause Synopsys’ actual future events to differ materially from any future results, time frames, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical uncertainty in the global economy; (ii) uncertainty in the growth of the semiconductor and electronics industries; (iii) the highly competitive industry in which we operate; (iv) actions by the U.S. or foreign governments, such as the imposition of additional export restrictions or tariffs; (v) consolidation among our customers and our dependence on a relatively small number of large customers; (vi) risks and compliance obligations relating to the global nature of our operations; (vii) failure to realize the benefits expected from the transactions we complete, including the acquisition of ANSYS, Inc. (“Ansys”), or unexpected difficulties or expenditures arising therefrom; (viii) risks related to inaccuracies in, or failures to achieve, our operational and business metrics or forecasts of growth; and (ix) other risks and uncertainties described in our filings with the SEC. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

Additional information on potential risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect Synopsys’ results is included in filings we make with the SEC from time to time, including in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial information contained in this press release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Synopsys’ most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, each as may be amended from time to time. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Synopsys’ control, and are not guarantees of future results. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Synopsys gives no assurances that it will achieve its expectations.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

This press release contains certain forward-looking financial measures that are not in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). It also includes future estimates for non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), net, non-GAAP expenses, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (“EPS”), non-GAAP EPS compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”), free cash flow (“FCF”) and FCF CAGR.

FCF is calculated as cash provided from operating activities less capital expendituresFCF CAGR is calculated as the average annual growth rate of FCF over a period of timeNon-GAAP EPS is calculated as GAAP net income excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, acquisition/divestiture-related items, loss on sale of strategic investments, and legal matters, adjusted for the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates, divided by fully diluted outstanding sharesNon-GAAP EPS CAGR is calculated as the average annual growth rate of non-GAAP EPS over a period of timeNon-GAAP expenses are calculated as GAAP expenses, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and acquisition/divestiture-related itemsNon-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income for a period divided by revenue for the same periodNon-GAAP tax rate is set at a three-year normalized tax rate of 18.0%. In projecting this rate, we evaluated our historical and projected mix of U.S. and international profit before tax, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, the amortization of purchased intangibles and other GAAP only adjustments.Non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), net is calculated as GAAP interest and other income (expense), net adjusted for the change in fair value of our non-qualified deferred compensation plan

Synopsys continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP but acknowledges evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Synopsys presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Synopsys’ operating results in a manner that focuses on what Synopsys believes to be its core business operations and what Synopsys uses to evaluate its business operations and for internal budgeting and resource allocation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, and management exercises judgment in determining which items should be excluded in the calculation of non-GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation from, as superior to or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and be viewed in conjunction with, the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures used by management, as well as the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely applicable GAAP financial measures, is contained in this press release and in our investor conference call presentation available in the investor relations portion of Synopsys’ corporate website at www.synopsys.com. Synopsys is unable to provide a full reconciliation of non-GAAP tax rate for FY 2027E; non-GAAP interest and other income (expense), net for FY 2027E; non-GAAP operating margin for FY 2028E-FY 2030E; non-GAAP EPS for FY 2028E-FY 2030E; non-GAAP EPS CAGR for FY 2026E-FY 2030E; FCF for FY 2028E-FY 2030E; and FCF CAGR for FY 2026E-FY 2030E projections, targets and guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because Synopsys believes that it would not be possible for it to have the information necessary to quantitatively reconcile such measures with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts due to, among other things, the potential variability and limited predictability of the excluded adjustment items necessary for a full reconciliation such as certain acquisition/divestiture related items, tax deduction variability, changes in the fair value of non-qualified deferred compensation plan, and gains (losses) on the sale of strategic investments. For the same reasons, Synopsys is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Synopsys is presenting forward looking non-GAAP financial measures for illustrative purposes and may not report on this basis going forward.

Effectiveness of Information

The information provided herein is as of September 30, 2026. Although this press release is expected to remain available on Synopsys’ website through the time Synopsys announces its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026, its continued availability through such time does not mean that Synopsys is reaffirming or confirming its continued validity.
