Published

Intuit Intelligence delivers trusted financial automations and intelligence for businesses and accountants that save time and help them make confident decisions

Intuit Intelligence’s platform brings deeper automation to QuickBooks, keeping books cleaner and helping businesses get paid faster

Intuit Accountant Suite introduces cross-client portfolio insights and firm playbooks, giving firms a scalable way to deliver advisory services across their entire client base

LONDON, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, and Intuit Enterprise Suite, today announced that Intuit Intelligence is now available internationally.

Intuit Intelligence is Intuit’s unified platform, delivering intelligence and automation to businesses and accountants wherever they are. Now fuelling QuickBooks and Intuit Accountant Suite globally, it orchestrates decades of trusted data, deep domain expertise, and intelligent automation to understand performance, automate work, take action and drive outcomes for businesses and their accountants. Intuit Intelligence ensures a business owner or their trusted accountant is freed up and left completely in control of the decisions that matter most, resulting in a trusted financial outcome, built on accuracy and compliance.

“We’re at the beginning of a fundamental transformation in how businesses operate around the world,” said Ciarán Quilty, SVP, International, Intuit. “The next generation of growth won’t come from more software, but from intelligent systems that combine AI with trusted financial data and the expertise of accountants to help businesses make better decisions and achieve better outcomes. At Intuit, that’s the future we’re building for our customers in every market.”

That approach is built into how Intuit Intelligence works. Rather than relying on a single AI model, Intuit Intelligence selects the right technology for each workflow or task, applying large language models for reasoning, machine learning for prediction, and deterministic code where precision is critical. Throughout, business owners and accountants have the transparency and control to apply the judgment and expertise only they can provide.

Momentum and adoption behind Intuit Intelligence is strong with millions of customers already using its financial automations and insights monthly. Early adopters are reporting saving an average of 13 hours a month, with 70% of customers confident their books are done right, and accountants spending 30% more time on client advisory work. The platform draws on data from 10 million customers, with an average of roughly 625,000 attributes tracked per business, delivering real outcomes at scale, with businesses and accountants always in control. 

A unified platform to fuel growth for businesses and accountants Businesses and accountants have historically worked from separate systems, trading documents and duplicating effort rather than working from the same intelligent platform. With Intuit Intelligence integrated into QuickBooks and Intuit Accountant Suite, that changes: businesses and their accountants now work from a single, connected system, rather than siloed, disconnected tools. The result is a complete, connected financial picture that follows a business across every stage of growth, so a business and their accountant are always working from the same shared insight to make better decisions and move forward with confidence.

For businesses, Intuit Intelligence’s platform brings automation deeper into QuickBooks, helping businesses have cleaner books, receive faster payments, and make more confident decisions. They include:

Automations lets customers conversationally describe a recurring task and Intuit Intelligence turns it into an automation that runs on its own schedule, saving time and keeping work moving without manual follow-up.Autonomous Invoicing creates and sends invoices from a customer’s own documents, with reminders and updates handled automatically, so payments come in faster with less chasing.Conversational Custom Reports lets customers build custom reports and see a forward-looking view of their cash flow, combining ledger history, bank activity, and predictive intelligence, giving them the clarity to make decisions with confidence.

Andrew Price, CEO at Synapx commented: “Intuit Intelligence has fundamentally changed how I interact with our financial data. Instead of running reports and searching through transactions, I can ask Intuit Intelligence in everyday language and get the insight I need straight away. As a business owner, that means I can understand what’s happening, prioritise what matters and make decisions much faster. Having that kind of access to financial insight in real time gives me greater confidence and helps me act much quicker when something needs attention.”

Intuit Accountant Suite: One AI platform for accountants to manage clients, practices, and teams  For accountants, Intuit Accountant Suite brings Intuit Intelligence directly into daily practice, working as a virtual extension of the team, continuously monitoring performance, surfacing insights, and making recommendations across a firm’s portfolio. Under the accountant’s control, the new updates and capabilities will help automate tasks and execute work, reducing costs and giving back time to deliver more value to clients. They include:

Cross-client portfolio insights surfaces signals across a firm’s whole client roster, so accountants can spot what needs attention without logging into each file individually, cutting down the hours spent on manual review.Firm Playbooks lets a firm codify its own setup, service standards, and onboarding once and apply it to every new client in one click, driving efficiency and the ability to scale across the firm.Unified Inbox improvements and updates bring all client communication into one centralised place, with easy access to every client request, so firms spend less time searching across channels and more time on advisory work.

Kamran Shaikh, Managing Director at Morgan Reach Accountants said: “Intuit Intelligence brings together AI-driven insight, proactive monitoring and portfolio-wide visibility in a way that can genuinely enhance the advisory process. The beauty of this is that it doesn’t just help us find information faster, it helps us identify risks and opportunities earlier, allowing us to spend more time delivering strategic advice on growth, tax planning and wealth creation. It’s a powerful example of technology and professional expertise working together, with human judgement remaining firmly at the centre of every decision.”

Why Now: From Reactive to Proactive

The timing of the international launch of Intuit Intelligence reflects a broader shift underway across the global AI landscape. Across industries, the conversation is increasingly less about whether businesses will adopt AI, and more about what they’re comfortable handing over to it, and how to maintain control as AI accomplishes more tasks. The Intuit QuickBooks 2026 AI Impact Report found that trust, not cost, is now the top barrier to deeper AI adoption among businesses, even as regular AI use has climbed to nearly 70%. Businesses are growing in confidence in what AI can do, but still want human oversight when a decision carries real financial or operational risk.

“This is exactly where Intuit Intelligence comes in,” said Adolfo Fernandez, VP of Product International, Intuit. “It’s built to give owners that oversight by proactively surfacing issues before they become problems, and leaving the decision with them: a cash shortfall flagged before it happens, a question answered in seconds instead of a manual report. For accountants, it means seeing signals across their whole client base at once, instead of reviewing one file at a time, with every recommendation left for them to review and approve. Business owners get their time and confidence back. Accountants get more room to advise, not just report. That’s business done right. That’s how Intuit powers prosperity for its customers to win in the AI era.”

JinkoSolar Unveils Tiger Neo 5.0 All-Black Residential Solar Module with 25.52% Efficiency

Published

on

By

SHANGRAO, China, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), today unveiled Tiger Neo 5.0, an all-black residential solar module built on its all-new TAC technology. The first version to reach the market, an all-black 48-cell module, delivers a maximum power output of 510 W with a module efficiency of 25.52%. It was designed to redefine the upper limits of what a scenario-specific module can deliver in both appearance and efficiency for premium homes and other architecturally refined residences.

The module showcases a deeper, more uniform and more refined black appearance than conventional back-contact (BC) modules. Semiconductor-grade low- and high-temperature processes bring the power temperature coefficient down to -0.24%/℃, meaning stronger energy yield in high-temperature environments.

TAC technology combines the excellent carrier transport of TOPCon with the low-temperature processing and positive electrode passivation of HJT, pushing peak cell efficiency to 28%, approaching the theoretical limit of monocrystalline silicon cells. Together with a zero-gap cell layout and hidden-ribbon technology at module level, the module achieves an efficiency of 25.52%. Compared with conventional BC products, it delivers approximately 30 W more power, and a lower temperature coefficient. Its deeper, more premium black appearance blends seamlessly into residential rooftops— especially dark-colored ones — making it a standout in the residential module category for both power and aesthetics.

“Our vision for Tiger Neo 5.0 was to develop a panel tailored to premium residential rooftops. It pushes the boundaries of both performance and aesthetics with innovations in cell technology, passivation processes, structural design, module format and interconnections. With this launch, we aim to help move the industry toward solutions tailored to specific applications,” said Charlie Cao, CEO of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.

 Prince Abdulaziz bin Talal credits the founders of AGFUND’s microfinance banks for laying the foundations of its development impact

BANGKOK, Oct. 17, 2026 /CNW/ — The Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND) won the “Excellence in Inclusive Banking and Social Impact” award at the 2026 Sustainable Development Goals Awards, organized by the World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI) in cooperation with the European Savings and Retail Banking Group (ESBG).

AGFUND CEO Hammam bin Nasser bin Juraid accepted the award in Bangkok, Thailand, alongside the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group.

HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, President of AGFUND, said the recognition acknowledges AGFUND’s experience using financial services to empower underserved communities, strengthen livelihoods and promote economic independence.

He credited the founders of AGFUND’s microfinance banks, particularly the late Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz, for establishing institutions centered on empowering people.

He added that the award reflects over two decades of commitment, the dedication of financial inclusion banks and partners, and clients who transformed financing into businesses and family income. He emphasized expanding opportunities and measuring success through lasting improvements in people’s lives.

Prince Abdulaziz stressed that the recognition reflects the value of institutions reaching excluded populations and encourages broader access and economic opportunities for families.

AGFUND’s financial inclusion banking network has served more than 1.3 million clients and disbursed over US$1.37 billion in financing since inception. Women represent 59 per cent of borrowers, demonstrating its contribution to economic empowerment.

Presented by WSBI, established in 1924, together with ESBG, the award recognizes an approach linking financial services, social impact and sustainable development.

Following its first bank in Jordan in 2004, AGFUND expanded across nine countries: Jordan, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Mauritania and Sierra Leone, focusing on communities underserved by conventional financial institutions.

The network has issued more than 1.5 million loans, opened over 927,000 savings accounts, established 112 branches and employed more than 1,500 people. Its services finance micro and small enterprises and income-generating activities, improving livelihoods and economic independence.

AGFUND plans to strengthen development partnerships, advance digital solutions and innovative financial products, and integrate financing with training, capacity development, market access and risk protection.

It is also exploring geographic expansion, particularly in Africa, through institutional partnerships that adapt successful approaches to local needs and extend sustainable financial inclusion to more communities.

Published

on

By

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 15 October, the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) kicked off in Guangzhou. Dubbed “China’s No.1 Exhibition” with a 70‑year history, it serves as a vital window for global merchants to understand China, and one of GAC’s stages to connect with the world. For international buyers, GAC serves not only as a sourcing platform but as a trusted channel for experiencing Chinese automotive innovation and building long-term local partnerships. Having made its debut in 2012, GAC has participated in the fair 30 times to date. Together with the Canton Fair, it has witnessed the transformation of Made‑in‑China products into Chinese global brands.

This transformation is reflected in GAC’s global expansion journey through a string of continuously refreshed sales figures. Overseas sales stood at 90,000 units in 2024, hit 130,000 units in 2025, and exceeded 197,000 units in January‑September 2026, representing a year‑on‑year surge of 138.9%. GAC is sprinting full steam ahead toward its annual target of 300,000 overseas units. GAC has accomplished a shift from “product export” to “system‑level global expansion”.

At the GAC booth, XT80, AION i60 and AISTALAND GX7 showcased intelligent driving, three-electric systems and premium cabins. The energy-ecology zone featured DC ultra-fast charging piles, 7 kW smart home chargers, multi-in-one electric drive units and PV-Storage-Charging-Swapping Technology, addressing range anxiety. Opening day drew buyers from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and Africa. At the Music & Cuisine Festival, GAC built three immersive spaces blending smart mobility, Cantonese cuisine, camping and sports. The XT80, AION N60, GAC S7 and AISTALAND GT7 served as lifestyle carriers, letting guests enjoy morning tea, global cuisines and intangible cultural heritage.

GAC will advance its ONE GAC 2.0 strategy, deepening localized operations and expanding its systematic global layout. As a tribute to the Canton Fair’s 70th anniversary and a new business card for China’s auto industry, GAC will help drive Chinese intelligent manufacturing onto the global stage.
