LONDON and BARCELONA, Spain, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — European companies are increasingly turning to Bank of America’s CashPro App to manage time-sensitive treasury tasks. In the first seven months of 2026, clients in the region used the app to approve more than €100 billion in payments, as transaction volume rose 25% and payment value increased 21%[1].

The shift reflects how mobile access is becoming embedded in corporate treasury workflows, particularly for secure authentication and payment approvals. Bank of America has continued to expand the app’s functionality and simplify its design so treasury teams can complete more tasks securely from a mobile device.

Mobile becomes the preferred way to access CashPro
CashPro mobile token, Bank of America’s mobile authentication solution, replaces the need for a physical token. Together with biometrics, QR Sign-In and push authentication, it enables corporate treasury users to access CashPro and approve transactions securely from their mobile devices.

Across Europe, 74% of CashPro users now choose a CashPro mobile token as their preferred way to authenticate and access the platform, underscoring the growing role of the app in day-to-day treasury management.

“Mobile is an integral part of the daily treasury workflow, giving clients the flexibility to manage critical tasks securely wherever they are,” said Matthew Davies, head of Global Payments Solutions EMEA at Bank of America. “The fact that 74% of CashPro users in Europe now choose the app as their preferred security token demonstrates how firmly mobile has become embedded in day-to-day treasury and cash management.”

Client feedback shapes the payment approval experience
As clients conduct more business through the app, Bank of America recently enhanced the payment approval experience to provide greater visibility into payment details and make approvals more efficient.

The updates were informed by direct input from clients, including those who participate in the bank’s CashPro Boards.

“Moving from a physical token to the CashPro App was a natural step for us,” said Kunwarjit Singh Suri, EMEA Controller at F5 Limited and a member of the bank’s UK CashPro Board. “It gives us the security we need while making it easier to review and approve transactions wherever we are. The new payment approval process is another nice touch making it easier for us to review and approve payments.”

Extending secure mobile access
Bank of America is developing new digital identity verification capabilities for corporate administrators, building on the app’s cybersecurity protections and patented integrated mobile token.

“Clients around the globe have embraced mobile and continue to ask us to expand what they can accomplish through the app,” said Heath Bergman, CashPro App Product Executive at Bank of America. “Their feedback is helping shape our investment as we extend secure mobile access to more treasury workflows.”

Raytron Unveils Infrared Vision-Language Model at CIOE 2026, Advancing Thermal Imaging from Perception to Understanding

Published

on

By

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI expands beyond content generation to perceiving and understanding the physical world, intelligent sensing is becoming increasingly important across industrial applications. At CIOE 2026, Raytron, a global leader in infrared thermal imaging, unveiled its Infrared Vision-Language Model, extending infrared imaging beyond image acquisition toward intelligent understanding. Raytron also introduced Falcon 500, its third-generation AI image processing chip, and showcased the latest advancements in its 8 μm and 12 μm infrared detector portfolios.

Why Does Infrared Imaging Need a Dedicated Vision-Language Model?

Unlike visible-light imaging, which primarily captures reflected light, infrared thermal imaging detects radiation emitted by objects, revealing unique information such as temperature, heat distribution, and thermal signatures. Most general-purpose vision models are trained primarily on large-scale visible-light data and are not specifically designed to interpret the unique characteristics of infrared imagery. Raytron’s Infrared Vision-Language Model is designed to address this challenge through:

5M+ Proprietary Infrared Data: More than five million high-quality multimodal infrared data samples cover specialized scenarios including industrial temperature measurement, night vision, and gas detection.Dedicated Infrared Visual Encoder: Designed specifically for infrared imaging, the dedicated encoder enhances the model’s ability to capture and interpret thermal distributions and infrared signal features.Industry-Specific Training: The model is trained for application-specific scenarios, such as gas detection, electrical inspection and perimeter monitoring. Training data covers gases such as methane, sulfur dioxide, ethanol, R-134a, R-152a, and sulfur hexafluoride, while accounting for gas plume patterns, dispersion behavior, and background interference to improve the identification of potential leakage areas.Edge AI Deployment: Enables local deployment and hardware acceleration of AI models on edge chips, allowing devices to perform real-time intelligent sensing without relying on cloud connectivity. This reduces latency, enhances data security, and helps optimize overall hardware costs.

Advancing Infrared Sensing with Falcon 500 and 8μm HD Infrared Detectors

The launch was accompanied by further advances in infrared image processing and detectors. The company unveiled Falcon 500, its third-generation infrared AI image processing chip, bringing enhanced image quality, intelligent sensing, multimodal fusion, and precision temperature measurement.

At the exhibition, Raytron also showcased its expanded 8 μm lineup, spanning resolutions from 640×512 to 1280×1024, alongside upgraded 12 μm products offering NETD as low as 15 mK.

STARPRIME Responds to Diverging Gold Market Demand with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7

Published

on

By

New offerings address two distinct market needs: fixing-related exposure management and continuous quote-driven gold access.

PORT LOUIS, Mauritius, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — STARPRIME is expanding its gold offering with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, giving market participants two distinct ways to manage and access gold exposure. Both offerings will be available in time for Forex Expo Dubai 2026, where STARPRIME will showcase its expanded liquidity offering as a Platinum Sponsor.

The additions complement STARPRIME’s existing gold suite, including Spot XAUUSD, with contract variations for Top of Book and Order Depth, as well as XAU Futures. Together, they respond to increasingly different client requirements across physical and electronic gold markets.

AM/PM Fixing is designed for physical hedgers and other market participants managing exposure around fixing prices. Clients can trade fixing contracts directly with the STARPRIME Trading Desk, with orders subsequently converted into spot contracts. This enables exposure to be offset against other positions and may reduce margin requirements associated with maintaining separate exposures.

XAU24/7 addresses a different shift: growing demand for quote-driven products beyond conventional market hours. As continuous access becomes increasingly familiar across financial markets, the product provides around-the-clock gold trading while operating as a distinct instrument with its own pricing environment and contract specifications, including pricing generated outside traditional reference-market hours.

“Physical gold participants increasingly need efficient ways to value and hedge inventory, while another segment is seeking continuous, quote-driven access. These are very different requirements, and liquidity solutions need to evolve around both,” said Jay Mawji, CEO of STARPRIME.

STARPRIME will showcase its expanded liquidity offering as a Platinum Sponsor of Forex Expo Dubai 2026, taking place 22–23 September at Dubai World Trade Centre. Visitors can meet the team at Booth 152. STARPRIME will also contribute to the event programme through a Liquidity Panel and fireside chat, exploring how liquidity requirements are evolving across brokers, institutions and professional trading businesses.

About STARPRIME

STARPRIME is an institutional CFD liquidity provider and market maker, combining multi-asset liquidity with pricing technology, low-latency execution and dedicated client coverage. Its solutions are shaped around each client’s flow, scale, and market requirements, with a focus on transparency, consistent service, and long-term partnerships.
