Sauce Labs Becomes FSQS-Certified, Cementing Role as QA Leader for EMEA Finance
Accreditation reinforces Sauce Labs' position as the trusted software quality partner for Europe's most regulated financial institutions.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / / May 22, 2025 / Sauce Labs, the leading platform for continuous quality, today announced it has achieved Financial Services Qualification System (FSQS) certification. This milestone further fuels the company's accelerating momentum as more financial services organizations across EMEA seek to modernize their digital infrastructure while meeting rigorous compliance requirements.
With European institutions projected to spend over $1 trillion on digital transformation this year-and regulatory scrutiny at its highest level since GDPR-the need for trusted, compliant technology partners has never been greater. Sauce Labs' FSQS certification comes at a pivotal moment, reinforcing its role as the go-to quality assurance platform for modern financial services teams across EMEA.
The FSQS certification, administered by Hellios Information, is a trusted benchmark used by major banks, insurers, and investment firms to assess third-party suppliers. By meeting these stringent standards-spanning data protection, risk management, and regulatory oversight-Sauce Labs strengthens its position as a trusted partner to some of the most security-conscious institutions in the world.
"Financial institutions are under immense pressure to innovate rapidly while ensuring compliance and security," said Prince Kohli, CEO of Sauce Labs. "Our FSQS certification reinforces that we're not just keeping up-we're ahead of the curve. It's a powerful signal to our growing base of EMEA customers that they can rely on us to deliver speed, trust, and quality at scale."
This announcement comes on the heels of significant business growth in the region. Sauce Labs has expanded its footprint across Europe, deepened relationships with top-tier banking and fintech clients, and rolled out new AI-driven capabilities to streamline the path from code to confidence. The FSQS certification now gives these customers an even more seamless path to procurement, with assurance that Sauce Labs meets the highest regulatory bar.
"The main benefits to our business are continuous releases and happier customers," said Martina Wonja, Lead Software Quality Engineer at N26 Bank, a digital-first bank that manages all customer interactions through their mobile application. "We had a choice: build an in-house device farm or look to the cloud. We're a forward-thinking company, so using the cloud for mobile app testing was a logical choice."
Sauce Labs continues to gain traction among leading financial services institutions, including customers such as Lloyd's Bank, Allied Irish Bank, Rabobank, N26, and Deutsche Bank. In Europe, the company has seen 50% year-over-year customer growth, with financial services customer adoption in EMEA growing 105% year over year.
"As we grow in financial services, we know that trust is earned-every day, with every deployment," added Kohli. "FSQS recognition not only validates our operational rigor but opens new doors with EMEA institutions that demand nothing less."
With FSQS certification in place, Sauce Labs is accelerating procurement discussions with top-tier banks and expanding its footprint across key markets including the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, and the Nordics.

Good Driver Mutuality: Using AI to Redefine Mutuality Service and Lead an Auto Repair Efficiency Revolution
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 13, 2025 / In Silicon Valley, where cutting-edge technology meets community-driven innovation - Good Driver Mutuality (GDM) is reinventing the concept of mutual aid through artificial intelligence. Designed for America's safest drivers, this platform builds a modern community rooted in ancient wisdom: sharing risks, reducing costs, and fostering collective responsibility. By breaking down the barriers of time and distance, GDM is breathing new life into mutual aid for the digital age. 1. From Neighborhood Assistance to Nationwide Networks: A New Mutual Aid Paradigm GDM does not provide insurance products - it operates as a tech-powered community where safe drivers band together to support members' vehicle repairs after accidents with small, voluntary contributions. Unused funds stay with members who remain accident-free, lowering costs for the careful while encouraging safer driving habits. It's a double win: drivers save money, and roads become safer for everyone. What once was neighborly help for fires and floods now finds a new home on GDM's digital platform. With technology as the bridge, even strangers can build trust and share risk. This modern mutual aid model retains the core spirit of empathy and solidarity while adding transparency, efficiency, and scalability. 2. Four AI-Driven Core Capabilities Reshaping Costs and User Experience GDM harnesses the power of advanced AI to drive every facet of its operations, embedding innovation at the core of its business. By integrating cutting-edge technology, GDM ensures long-term competitiveness while consistently delivering meaningful, high-value products. AI-Powered Operational Cost Optimization GDM integrates AI agents across its operations, targeting real-world pain points. Many industry insights remain untapped by large language models, while massive amounts of operational data remain unstructured - a prime opportunity for AI to drive efficiency at scale. Tasks that once relied on human experts are now automated, operating 24/7 with precision while dramatically cutting labor costs. In the notoriously tough U.S. car insurance market, where data sets, customer lifecycles, and regional dynamics make standardized pricing nearly impossible, GDM cracked the code. Its AI rapidly identifies key factors and processes messy, unstructured data. Evolving from a support tool into a fully autonomous agent, it delivers fair, competitive pricing for safe drivers and removes entry barriers for new members. 3 A Tech Framework Restructuring the Service Chain In the U.S. auto insurance market, Loss Adjustment Expenses (LAE) are typically high, making up a significant portion of premiums. GDM eliminates this inefficiency. Members submit incident reports directly through the GDM app and by speaking with a phone agent, where mutuality advisors verify eligibility and initiate repair workflows. GDM's '3A Technology Matrix' (App, Application Programming Interfaces (API), and AI) aims to significantly reduce post-incident expenses, resulting in cost savings of nearly 10%. This is made possible through an intelligent incident triage system: The vast majority of cases- minor, routine, or standard - are handled without human intervention. Only a limited number of complex incidents (unique or challenging situations, or total loss cases) require manual review. This paves the way for zero-touch service and value-driven cost control, redefining efficiency standards for accident management. Miles: AI-Powered 24/7 Multilingual Customer Support GDM's proprietary AI customer service assistant, Miles, has evolved into a multimodal interaction hub capable of instant responses in 18 languages, all within a second. Miles continuously improves its knowledge base through user feedback and business development, maintaining a 99.2% accuracy rate in query resolution. AI Assistants Driving Growth for Affiliates GDM's AI tools also aim to transform how affiliate partners work. Key features include: This AI-human hybrid model offers affiliates a 24/7 virtual assistant, turning data into action and strategies into instant execution. 3. Technology for Good: Building Safer Roads for Everyone GDM's AI-driven mutual aid model has already helped some accident-free members save up to 40% at the end of their mutuality plans. 'Our goal isn't just to reduce costs for safe drivers through smart technology,' says the GDM founder. 'We're building a future of safer, fairer roads where good drivers save more, and communities stay protected.' And here's the bigger picture: when safe drivers are rewarded meaningfully, road safety shifts from passive enforcement to proactive prevention - a win for individuals, families, and society as a whole. About Good Driver Mutuality Good Driver Mutuality (GDM) is an innovative non-insurance alternative to traditional collision and comprehensive insurance, fostering a strong network of responsible drivers who share automotive repair costs. By leveraging AI-powered technology and rewarding safe driving habits, GDM helps reduce accidents and lower costs for its members, ultimately enhancing road safety.

Ahead of Protests, Waymo Scales Back Robotaxi Service Nationwide
A week after five robot cars were burned in Los Angeles, the Google sister company isn't taking risks.

Schaben/Getty Images Waymo will temporarily limit robotaxi service in all of its nationwide markets, the company said Friday, as US cities prepare for a wave of protests of federal immigration policies and law enforcement and military crackdowns on demonstrators. The Alphabet subsidiary will stop service in Los Angeles altogether. Waymo spokesperson Sandy Karp confirmed the service pause and adjustments but declined to comment further. There is no indication how long the service changes will last. The adjustments will affect service in San Francisco, Austin, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. On Friday afternoon, some San Francisco riders saw in-app messages showing that all of the company's robotaxis were busy, and so unable to pick up rides. The move comes a week after protesters set fire to five autonomous taxis operated by the company in downtown Los Angeles. Images of the fires went viral on social media, and became a flashpoint in discussions about protester violence and the role tech plays in citizen surveillance. The incident raised questions about the camera and sensor data collected by Waymo on public roads, and how or if it's shared with law enforcement. Earlier this week, Karp told WIRED that the company generally challenges data requests that are overly broad or don't have a sound legal basis. She declined to comment on specific cases. Waymo sometimes adjusts service areas ahead of major events marked by large crowds and traffic, including sports matches and concerts, and in response to incidents like fires or floods where road safety is a concern.

Judge halts Rubio's plan to lay off almost 2,000 State Dept. employees
A federal judge in California has halted a State Department plan to lay off almost 2,000 employees, marking a setback to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's push to rapidly downsize the agency. Speaking in court on Friday, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco said an earlier ruling that prohibited federal agencies from laying off people also applied to the State Department's downsizing efforts, despite arguments by government lawyers.
