Quant rolls out white-labelled programmable money and banking infrastructure
0
Quant Flow was developed in response to the growing demand for smarter forms of commercial bank money and the need to modernise financial infrastructure, driven by rising regulatory pressure and competition from stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), neobanks and fintechs.
Quant Flow delivers automation and intelligence directly into money at the account level. For banks, this means they can respond to market demand, address regulation, innovate with new forms of money and defend profitability - all without the need for costly system overhauls.
For corporates, it enables them to harness programmable money to effortlessly connect to existing banking, business and financial applications. It also offers them the ability to design custom payment flows and automate financial processes to drive growth and eradicate inefficiencies through real-time programmable actions.
'Money today may look digital on the surface, but beneath the apps, most financial systems still rely on decades-old static rails. Quant Flow changes that. It brings intelligence to money itself - turning it into a programmable instrument embedded with code, not spreadsheets. This gives banks fintech-level agility without compromising on resilience, compliance or core stability,' says Gilbert Verdian, CEO and Founder of Quant.
Quant Flow enables banks to:
• Defend their client and market share to differentiate and innovate by offering smarter financial products like dynamic account options, automated money management tools, and custom products and services built around each customer's needs.
• Rapidly test and roll out innovative new banking features quickly using PayScript®, a purpose-built language that makes creating new banking and financial products as easy as a few lines of code.
• Remove friction by automating repetitive tasks such as currency conversions and cash flow adjustments based on real-time data, saving time and reducing risk.
• Automate compliance processes across regions, making it easier to stay on top of changing regulations.
With Quant Flow, banks can also offer their corporate business clients more control and insight over their finances. From smart automation to real-time dashboards, businesses can move from reactive to proactive financial decision-making that drives growth.
Key benefits of programmable money for corporates and businesses include:
• Smarter cash management. They can set programmable rules that automate things like currency conversions, tax payments, or loan repayments as events or triggers - taking advantage of market conditions, saving time and reducing human error.
• Access to live financial data. They can access up-to-the-minute dashboards offering a clear picture of financial health and liquidity, helping CFOs to automate and make better decisions.
• Faster, cheaper global payments. They can automate international transactions - in both traditional currencies and stablecoins - for smoother, faster payments at lower cost.
• Streamlined compliance. They can eliminate manual tasks with rule-based automation for taxes, reconciliation, and reporting.
David Yates, former President of Mastercard, Western Union and First Data and Vocalink Chair says:
'The world is digital—yet money remains stuck in the past. Quant Flow redefines how money works—it's intelligent, automated and efficient. Banks can deliver features that traditional systems can't match, and businesses can transform their financial operations by transforming simple transactions into next-generation workflows. Programmable money is the next generation of finance - and it's here today.'
'Quant Flow marks a fundamental shift in the way we think about money,' concludes Verdian. 'We're not simply adding features, we're creating an intelligent financial operating system fit for the digital economy. For banks, businesses, and the broader industry, this is a move from transactional finance to programmable finance, and it's built to transform.'

Why Traditional Mobile Banking Apps Are Reaching Their Limits and How Agentic UI Will Replace Them: By Paul Shumsky
Every major shift in digital banking has started with a problem that could no longer be ignored. Moving from branches to online banking addressed the need for convenience. The move from online to mobile banking apps gave customers access to their finances anywhere and anytime. Now a new challenge is emerging. Even the best mobile banking apps are beginning to show their limits. Neobanks like Revolut and Nubank have set the standard for modern design and strong user experience. Yet as they expand into super apps offering trading, insurance, travel bookings and shopping, the trade-off becomes clear. Each new product competes for space on the screen. Menus get deeper, journeys get longer and customers struggle to find the value that drew them in. This is not a problem that affects only challengers. Traditional banks face it too. When more becomes too much To keep things manageable, many banks have split their offerings into separate apps. One for personal banking. One for businesses. Another for young customers. Another for wealth and investments. This approach makes each app less cluttered, but it creates a new problem: fragmentation. Customers need multiple logins, must switch between different designs, and face inconsistent experiences. It is also expensive. Separate apps require separate development teams, separate technology platforms and separate infrastructure. That is duplication of cost without duplication of value. The next breakthrough will not be about creating more apps or adding more menu tabs. It will be about creating a single intelligent experience that recognises each customer, understands the products they use and knows how to make their life easier. Personalisation that means something Banks often talk about personalisation in terms of letting customers change colours, switch to dark mode or rearrange widgets. In reality that is not personalisation. Studies consistently show that the vast majority of customers never change default settings. True personalisation is proactive. It guides customers through their financial journeys and anticipates what they will need next. A small business owner logging in on payroll day should see cash flow projections and quick-pay links before anything else. A frequent traveller should see currency exchange, travel insurance and lounge access in the weeks before a trip. Enter agentic UI Agentic UI represents the next step in the evolution of mobile banking. It is a conversational, adaptive, AI-powered interface that learns from each customer's profile, behaviour and context in real time. Instead of navigating static menus, customers interact with an intelligent agent. The interface adapts to who is using it, when they are using it and why they have come. This is the type of experience that Finpace helps financial institutions bring to life. With the right integration, one app can serve every customer segment and every product line without compromising on simplicity or clarity. Benefits for customers and for the business For customers, Agentic UI means fewer clicks, faster answers and the feeling that their bank truly understands them. For the bank, it brings higher engagement because customers do not have to search for value, lower support costs because there are fewer 'how do I…' queries, reduced technology spend by removing the need for multiple apps, and faster launches of new products because they can be introduced contextually to the right customers. Platforms like Finpace, Kasisto, Personetics, and Glia are already making these capabilities possible today. Finpace focuses on unifying multiple product lines into a single adaptive banking app, Kasisto enables natural language conversations that feel human, Personetics powers hyperpersonalized recommendations and goal-based journeys, and Glia integrates real-time AI assistance into the customer's digital session. Together, they are proving that Agentic UI is not a distant vision but an achievable standard for forward-thinking financial institutions. Learning from other industries Other industries have already moved in this direction. Netflix recommends what to watch without asking. Google Maps adjusts travel time based on live traffic. These are systems that adapt to the user, not the other way around. Banking can work the same way. The difference is that financial journeys are more complex, more regulated and often more sensitive. Agentic UI, enabled by platforms like Finpace, can make those journeys simple, relevant and compliant without losing the personal touch. The road ahead The case for Agentic UI is becoming stronger every day. As super apps grow and traditional banks seek to unify their offerings, one adaptive app that delivers the right experience to the right customer at the right time is becoming the logical next step. Those who start exploring this now will have a clear advantage, not only in customer satisfaction but also in cost efficiency and time to market.

Cupra Born and more qualify for £1500 government EV grant
Meanwhile, the UK-built Citroën e-Berlingo and Vauxhall Combo Life Electric were awarded the lower discount. This is likely to be because their batteries come from abroad, while the Nissan Leaf's battery will be supplied by the AESC factory next to Nissan's Sunderland plant. The government has not given any indication of when to expect the next batch of ECG-eligible EVs, but many sub-£37k EVs – including many from Asia that are unlikely to be deemed eligible on the basis of their manufacturing and export CO2 footprints – have already been discounted by their makers. Unlike with the previous Plug-in Car Grant (PiCG), buyers don't need to register for the discount; instead, the ECG is automatically applied to the sale price of the eligible models. Transport secretary Heidi Alexander said: 'This summer, we're making owning an electric car cheaper, easier and a reality for thousands more people across the UK.' To qualify for the grant, car manufacturers' models must meet science-backed emission-footprint criteria, while the individual model lines must be priced under £37,000 in entry-level trim. Which discount a model receives – either £1500 or £3750 – is determined by its environmental impact: how much CO2 is emitted in an EV's production and assembly, along with the emissions footprint of its battery manufacture. Threshold levels have yet to be made public. While any manufacturer can apply for their car to be included in the scheme, it's thought that, due to this criteria, cars produced in Asian countries will not be eligible for the ECG.

‘Alarming' drop in UK consumer confidence over last year – Which?
Consumer confidence in the future UK economy has plummeted over the last year, figures suggest. Confidence has tumbled by 31 points over the last year, from an average of minus nine between May and July 2024 to an average of minus 40 between May and July this year, Whic h?'s Consumer Insight Tracker shows. On average between this May and July, 56% of people thought the economy would get worse and just 16% thought it would get better. Which? said the figures showed a 'significant fall' to some of the lowest levels seen since early 2023, when the cost-of-living crisis was in the headlines and inflation was in double figures. Confidence in the future economy declined sharply last autumn and was particularly low between February to May, when global events such as the US tariff policy contributed to the pessimism. Confidence had recovered a little since, but remained considerably lower than 12 months ago. Pensioners have been the most pessimistic group, with their confidence in the future UK economy falling dramatically from an average of minus five between May and July last year to a current average of minus 63. Pensioners' confidence dropped dramatically in autumn last year – shortly after the Government's first announcement of scrapping the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners – and has remained low since, in spite of the Government U-turn on fuel payments. Which?'s figures suggest that financial difficulties from the height of the cost-of-living crisis are yet to return to the pre-crisis levels. In the month to July 18, an estimated 2.1 million households missed at least one essential payment such as rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, credit card or loan payments. An estimated 13.9 million households (49%) also made at least one adjustment to cover essential spending such as utility bills, housing costs, groceries, school supplies and medicines in the last month – such as cutting back on essentials, dipping into savings, selling possessions or borrowing. Rocio Concha, Which? director of policy and advocacy, said: 'Our research shows consumer confidence in the future of the UK economy has dropped alarmingly over the last year. 'The Government has rightly focused on growing the economy and raising living standards but in doing so, it must not overlook the importance of consumer protections in restoring confidence. ' People are sick to the teeth of having to dodge fraudsters when shopping online, watching out for rogue traders when making home improvements and needing to keep an eye out for dodgy pricing practices which mean that offers aren't as good as they first appear. 'The right consumer protections give people the confidence to spend and the Government must place these protections at the heart of its plans to grow the economy.'
