Neema's extensive cross-border payments network empowers financial institutions across the globe to effortlessly process transactions in over 120 countries. It accommodates the most widely used payment methods and currencies specific to each destination, ensuring that users experience a localized payment environment. The introduction of Dynamic Routing further extends Neema's vision of building a globally connected financial ecosystem.
Traditionally, the majority of cross-border transactions between banks have been facilitated through the SWIFT network, a system that has linked financial institutions since the 1970s. Despite its extensive use, the foundational protocol is now outdated, resulting in transactions that are often costly, sluggish, and susceptible to errors. Transfers frequently take several days to finalize, with many experiencing delays or even being lost in transit.
When funds are transferred between banks in different nations, the SWIFT network relies on a series of correspondent (intermediary) banks to execute the transfer. This creates a singular route from sender to recipient, typically involving one or more intermediary banks. Consequently, this leads to elevated fees, protracted settlement times, and a significant lack of transparency throughout the transaction process.
Dynamic Routing, along with Neema's vast network of financial partners, enables a smarter method for global money movement. Rather than depending on a single pathway, Dynamic Routing establishes multiple real-time routes between countries. Each transaction it powers undergoes instant analysis, taking into account factors such as exchange rates, speed, and reliability to identify the optimal route. Every payment is personalized, with transfers between the same countries often utilizing different, optimized routes.
Additionally, Neema's AI-driven security infrastructure and expansive international reach provide enhanced visibility into coverage and technical vulnerabilities, allowing the company to effectively address potential gaps while offering one of the most robust quality assurance systems in the industry.
'At Neema, our primary mission is to address the genuine challenges that businesses encounter when transferring funds across international borders,' said Moshe Kimhi, CEO of Neema. 'The introduction of Dynamic Routing represents a significant advancement in this realm — enhancing the speed, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of international payments. This innovation is instrumental in empowering businesses to expand and function more efficiently within the complexities of the global economy.'

Goldman Sachs sees OPEC+ raising oil output by 0.41 mb/d in August

June 2 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs anticipates the eight country OPEC+ oil group will implement a final 0.41 million barrels per day (mb/d) production increase in August, the bank said in a note dated Sunday. "Relatively tight spot oil fundamentals, beats in hard global activity data, and seasonal summer support to oil demand suggest that the expected demand slowdown is unlikely to be sharp enough to stop raising production when deciding on August production levels on July 6th," Goldman Sachs said in a note. OPEC+, the world's largest group of oil producers, stuck to its guns on Saturday with another big increase of 411,000 barrels per day for July as it looks to wrestle back market share and punish over-producers. The decision likely reflects relatively tight spot fundamentals, a resilient global economy, and an ongoing shift toward a long-term equilibrium aimed at normalizing spare capacity, supporting internal cohesion, and disciplining U.S. shale production, Goldman Sachs noted. Oil prices rebounded more than $1 a barrel in early Asian trade on Monday after OPEC+ decided to increase output in July by the same amount as it did in each of the prior two months, in line with market expectation. Goldman Sachs expects OPEC+ to maintain flat production levels from September, citing slowing global growth in third quarter and new large-scale non-OPEC projects ramping up. Goldman maintained its cautious oil price forecast, projecting Brent crude to average $60 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) $56 per barrel for the remainder of 2025. For 2026, it sees Brent at $56 and WTI at $52 per barrel. The forecast reflects expected supply growth outside of U.S. shale will drive surpluses of 1 mbpd in 2025 and 1.5 mbpd in 2026. The bank mainted its oil price forecast stating a moderate upgrade to demand offsets the increase in OPEC+ supply. Goldman Sachs further cited an upward revision of historical International Energy Agency (IEA) Africa demand estimates, stronger-than-expected European demand data, and a softer electric vehicle (EV) outlook in Western markets as contributing factors.

BOJ sets aside maximum provisions for bond transactions, Nikkei reports

June 2 (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan has set aside the maximum provision for losses on bond transactions, the Nikkei reported on Monday. For fiscal 2024, BOJ raised the level of provisions to 100% for the first time, signaling that the central bank expects higher interest payments to financial institutions to impact its capital base, the newspaper reported. Japan's central bank kept short-term interest rates steady at 0.5% in its May meeting, with pressures mounting to keep hiking borrowing costs. BOJ did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Trump's tariffs 'not going away', top adviser says

US President Donald Trump is not planning to extend the pause to his sweeping global tariffs, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick president's plan - where countries face between 11% to more than 100% tariffs on goods brought into the US - was announced in April. But the majority of the tariffs were paused by Trump for 90 days in the wake of stock market with Fox News, Lutnick said he expects the President to stand firm when that 90 day pause expires at the start of July.A key trade deal would be with China, who US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said has "not been a reliable partner" and claimed it was holding back products in the global supply chain. The president's top trade advisers presented a united front in their appearances on separate US morning television programmes on remained steadfast on the tariff agenda, which has faced ongoing challenges in the nation's court system."Tariffs are not going away," Lutnick said in response to the court added that the US "could sign lots of deals now" but the Trump administration is working to "make them better". "You're going to see over the next couple of weeks, really, first class deals for the American worker," he said.. And on the expiration of the 90 day pause, Lutnick said: "I think that's the deadline, and the President's just going to determine what rates people have if they can't get a deal done". When the pause expires, in theory it would enact sweeping tariffs on countries across the globe. Imports from about 60 trading partners that the White House has described as the "worst offenders", including the European Union, Vietnam, South Africa and more, will face higher rates. Trump has described these taxes as payback for unfair trade tariffs has Trump announced and why?US pauses higher tariffs for most countries after market havoc, but hits China harderOn Friday, Trump announced the US will double its current tariff rate on steel and aluminium imports from 25% to 50%, beginning on with most of the announced tariffs, Trump said the move would help boost local steel industry, while reducing US reliance on China. US steel manufacturing has decreased in recent years and countries like China, India and Japan have become the world's biggest producers. The steel tariffs come as many hold their breath waiting for further announcements. from the Trump administration. Trump's tariff policies have upended global trade and cracks have formed - or widened - among relationships between the US and other countries, including some of its closest partners. World watches for news of US-China trade deal The levies have worsened relations between China and the US, the two largest global economies - and launched the countries into a tit-for-tat trade a trade truce struck in May at Geneva, the US lowered tariffs imposed on goods from China from 145% to 30%. China's retaliatory tariffs on US goods dropped from 125% to 10%.But a larger trade deal between the countries has not been established. On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Bessent told CBS News, the BBC's US news partner, details of the trade will be "ironed out" once Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump speak, but he did not say exactly when that conversation is expected. "What China is doing is they are holding back products that are essential for the industrial supply chains of India, of Europe. And that is not what a reliable partner does," Bessent Treasury Secretary claimed China could be withholding some products because of a "glitch", or he said it could be "intentional" - but the administration would not know for sure until a call with both countries happened. On Friday, China urged the US to "immediately correct its erroneous actions, cease discriminatory restrictions against China and jointly uphold the consensus reached at the high-level talks in Geneva".White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told ABC News on Sunday that Trump and Xi are expected to talk this week, and said "both sides have expressed a willingness to talk". "The bottom line is that we've got to be ready in case things don't happen the way we want," Hassett said of the expected China talks. "Because if we have cannons without cannonballs, then we can't fight a war.""We have to have a steel industry that's ready for American defence," he said.
