FIS Harmonizes Payments With Launch of Unified Money Movement Hub

Business Wire01-05-2025
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global financial technology leader FIS ® (NYSE: FIS) has announced the launch of its Money Movement Hub, an innovative payments solution that helps to simplify the back-end infrastructure of financial institutions by enabling them to connect to multiple payment networks and process payments in one place.
Designed as a turnkey solution for a wide range of institutions – from super regional banks to community banks – the Money Movement Hub supports a modernized payments journey that can change with each client's needs. The flexible, cloud-native platform is core-agnostic and allows banks to start with the payment types they need today, then add new capabilities over time through a 'pay-as-you-grow' model. It delivers unified and secure money movement experiences that can be embedded across a variety of customer channels, helping institutions meet digital demands quickly and efficiently.
While consumers' expectations for payment ease and efficiency have increased, many institutions are struggling to meet these demands using dated and disparate technology, leaving them exposed to settlement delays and security vulnerabilities. In fact, 57% of organizations that participated in the FIS Harmony Gap survey reported experiencing friction in payments processing, or when money is in motion, at least once a week.
The FIS Money Movement Hub helps to harmonize the payments ecosystem within a financial institution by facilitating the integration of major payment networks within one solution, via a single API. As well as helping to reduce complexity for organizations, the solution can increase the accuracy of payments, improve liquidity, and help to quickly remediate security risks. This innovative payments hub responds to evolving consumer demands for faster and more efficient payments, as well as regulatory changes, and aims to transform financial institutions' money movement capabilities.
Gareth Lodge, principal analyst at Celent commented, 'Payments are the one thing that unite every customer at every bank, and as their expectations continue to change, they expect more. While our Dimensions research found that 45% of U.S. banks have major payments modernization plans in the next 18 months, these banks need to ensure that they choose a solution that doesn't just meet the needs of today, but also tomorrow.'
Jim Johnson, co-president, Banking Solutions at FIS, commented, 'This new solution is a testament to FIS' dedication to unlocking financial technology that efficiently moves money between the world's banks, consumers and businesses. Our new Money Movement Hub can help to reduce the complexity and costs associated with managing multiple payment channels, enabling funds to flow with speed, accuracy and security throughout the money lifecycle.'

Unified integration – The FIS Money Movement Hub is designed to integrate with major payment networks, including instant, ACH and wires.
Cloud-native - The solution is hosted in FIS' dedicated Amazon Web Services Cloud environment, helping to increase scalability, cost-efficiency, reliability and security.

CUPE: Liberals reward Air Canada's refusal to bargain fairly by crushing flight attendants' Charter rights

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Air Canada asked the government to crush underpaid flight attendants' Charter rights, and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu only waited a few hours to deliver. The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages. "The Liberals have talked out of both sides of their mouths. They said the best place for this is at the bargaining table. They refused to correct this historic injustice through legislation," said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE. "Now, when we're at the bargaining table with an obstinate employer, the Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation." CUPE came to the table with data-driven and reasonable proposals for a fair cost-of-living wage increase and an end to forced unpaid labour. Air Canada responded by sandbagging the negotiations. The Liberal government is rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted. This sets a terrible precedent. Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace at Air Canada. This will only ensure that the unresolved issues will continue to worsen by kicking them down the road. Nor will it ensure labour peace in this industry — because unpaid work is an unfair practice that pervades nearly the entire airline sector, and will continue to arise in negotiations between flight attendants and other carriers.

'This government is anti-union and anti-worker': CUPE NS Denounces Use of Bill 107

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE Nova Scotia strongly condemns the federal government's decision to interfere in workers' right to collective bargaining and job action by invoking Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. 'Clearly, this government is anti-union and anti-worker,' said Alan Linkletter, CUPE Nova Scotia President. 'Forcing workers back on the job instead of supporting free and fair collective negotiations directly contradictions workers' rights that are guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.' Air Canada has asked the government to crush striking workers' Charter rights, and Federal Labour minister Patty Hajdu is ready to deliver. Hajdu announced that the federal government will be invoking Section 107 at a press conference this afternoon, citing the financial welfare of Canadians and the economy at large as a deciding factor for this decision. 'She says this move is for the financial security of Canadians—are these workers not Canadians? Does their welfare not matter? How can you be financially secure when you don't even get paid for all of the hours you work?' Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace in Canada. This will only push this fight onto the next group of workers in negotiations, while Air Canda's flight attendants continue to work for a billion-dollar company for free. Flight attendants are only paid when the plane is moving, and work as many as 35 unpaid hours a month performing vital duties that ensure the safe and smooth operation of each flight. Now, instead of paying flight attendants for all the hours they work, Air Canada has clearly sought help from the federal government to continue exploiting their employees. 'Minister Hajdu's comments indicate a clear lack of respect for workers' rights,' said Sherry Hillier, President of CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador and National General Vice President for Atlantic Canada. 'By using Section 107 to force workers back on the job yet again, they're setting a pattern. And that pattern is that Liberals don't care about Canadians.' Recent polling data indicates that 9 out of 10 Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants' fight for fair pay. 88% per cent of Canadians believe flight attendants should be paid for all work-related duties including boarding, delays, and safety checks. 76% support raising their pay to reflect the important safety role they play. 59% believe the federal government should respect flight attendants' right to take job action–even if it causes travel disruptions. CUPE represents over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants across the country, and workers have been demonstrating at Halifax Stanfield International Airport since 6AM. 'Messages of support have been pouring in for these workers from across the country,' continued Linkletter. 'Canadians stand with us. Our elected representatives should, too.'

‘This Is a No-Go Zone,' Says Top Investor About Figma Stock

Figma (NYSE:FIG) stock made a splash when it went public late last month, with shares tripling on their first day of trading. But the early euphoria has faded – the stock now trades about 31% below its day-one close. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Even so, the IPO was a significant milestone for the design platform, which counts roughly 13 million active users and has delivered steady revenue growth over the past two years, including a 41% jump in Q2 2025. Yet, impressive growth alone isn't enough to sway everyone. Top investor Michael Wiggins De Oliveira, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros, warns that jumping on the bandwagon now could be a costly mistake. 'I don't see a clear enough inflection for Figma to maintain its pricing power or growth profile over the next few quarters to justify its current multiple,' Wiggins De Oliveira explains. While the investor acknowledges the 'impressive userbase' and rapid revenue growth, he points to concerns that weaken the risk-reward profile. Chief among them is the growing narrative that AI could erode Figma's competitive moat. With technological disruption moving at breakneck speed, Wiggins De Oliveira questions whether the company can sustain its pace of year-over-year growth. Competitors could introduce advances that replicate core features of Figma's platform, undermining its uniqueness. 'The company is up against a challenging narrative that AI could disrupt much of its underlying offering,' the investor adds, projecting that revenue growth could slow to 30%–35% annually. Beyond growth concerns, Wiggins De Oliveira also casts doubt on the quality of Figma's cash flow profile. While the company posted a notable swing to nearly $100 million in free cash flow in Q1 2025, the investor cautions that the figure may have been flattered by one-off factors tied to its IPO filing. Stripping those out, he estimates sustainable annual free cash flow closer to $250 million at best – a figure that, when set against its market cap, leaves FIG trading at an expensive ~160x forward free cash flow. 'Outperformance comes from patience and picking your spots – and for me, FIG just doesn't make the cut,' concludes Wiggins De Oliveira, who rates FIG a Sell. (To watch Michael Wiggins De Oliveira's track record, click here) For now, FIG is too new to have analyst ratings, but with its IPO, early volatility, and high-profile debate, Wall Street attention is likely to grow in the months ahead.
