    American Rebel Light Beer: Acceleration of National Expansion

    American Rebel management reported to the board that American Rebel Light Beer is expanding its distribution footprint at a rapid pace and that management was seeking guidance from the board to further accelerate its nation-wide rollout, seizing on market momentum and opportunity. The board endorsed accelerating the nation-wide rollout as a priority to establish American Rebel Light as the next national premium domestic light lager beer. American Rebel management expects to have several announcements of the addition of new states to its distribution network over the next few weeks.

CEO Andy Ross has frequently expressed his vision of broadening the American Rebel product line beyond beverages, envisioning a future where the brand encompasses grills, knives, tools, motor oil, and other complementary products. His goal is to create a household name synonymous with rugged American spirit, where consumers instinctively choose American Rebel-branded products for everyday needs.

    As America’s Patriotic Brand, we are actively evaluating several licensing categories and acquisition opportunities that align with our brand, mission, and strategic growth plans. By identifying partnerships that reinforce our core values and extend our product offerings, we aim to build a portfolio of trusted American Rebel products that resonate with our customers. “I want Susie to go up to mom and say ‘Mom, what’s Dad want for Father’s Day’ and she says, ‘Honey, anything with American Rebel on it,’” said Andy Ross.

  • MIL-OSI: Building a Budget and Saving for the Future

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WILMINGTON, Del., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While most Americans would benefit from consulting with a financial advisor, becoming familiar with basic financial practices is easier than you might think. The centerpiece of any financial plan should be setting aside money for your future. Awareness and planning around spending on essentials each month allows you to better determine your capacity for saving.

    A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.

    We all know creating a budget and sticking to it is essential, but it’s important to be smart about where you save and invest your money. Many people place their money in a regular savings account at their local bank, which typically offers a very low interest rate. Instead, consider placing your money in an FDIC insured high-yield online savings account where your money will earn much higher returns. And remember, it’s never too late to begin saving. For example, if you’re an AARP member, you can place your money in a high-yield no fee savings and CD accounts with Barclays and no matter how much or how little you want to save, AARP members will always get the highest rate of return the bank offers. It’s a smart approach to securing your future.

  • MIL-OSI: Security Federal Corporation Announces Increase in First Quarter Earnings

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    AIKEN, S.C., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Security Federal Corporation (the “Company”) (OTCBB: SFDL), the holding company for Security Federal Bank (the “Bank”), today announced earnings and financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $2.6 million, or $0.81 per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.54 per common share, for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net income available to common shareholders was primarily due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income, as well as a decrease in the provision for credit losses, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense, provision for income taxes and the payment of preferred stock dividends during the first quarter of 2025.

    First Quarter Financial Highlights

    • Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 12.5%, to $11.2 million as interest income increased and interest expense decreased.
    • Total interest income increased $514,000, or 2.7%, to $19.2 million while total interest expense decreased $733,000, or 8.4%, to $8.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024. The increase in interest income was the result of a $1.6 million increase in interest income from loans, which was partially offset by a decrease in interest income from investments and other interest-earning assets. Interest expense decreased during the first quarter of 2025 due to lower market interest rates and the payoff of outstanding borrowings with the Federal Reserve, which resulted in a lower balance of average interest-bearing liabilities compared to the first quarter of 2024.
    • Non-interest income increased $122,000, or 5.3%, to $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to a $60,000 increase in rental income and $62,000 gain on sale of land held for sale. During the first quarter of 2025, we purchased a multi-tenant property resulting in an increase to rental income. The property is intended to be the future site of a full-service branch.
    • Non-interest expense increased $205,000, or 2.1%, to $9.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to a $256,000 increase in salaries and expenses for employee benefits, which was partially offset by a decrease in expenses for advertising and depreciation and maintenance of equipment.

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Launches Game-Changing 100x Leverage, No KYC, and $100 Trading Bonus for New Traders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the cryptocurrency market experiences increased volatility, BexBack, a leading cryptocurrency derivatives platform, is offering traders unparalleled opportunities to maximize their profits. With Bitcoin surging to new highs, reaching $95,000, BexBack is at the forefront, helping both new and experienced traders capitalize on the market’s fluctuations. The platform provides up to 100x leverage, no KYC, and exclusive bonuses, redefining the way crypto trading is done.

    Why Choose BexBack?

    BexBack is designed to offer more than just a simple trading platform. Its innovative features empower traders to take control of their investments with enhanced flexibility, safety, and profitability. Key advantages of the platform include:

    1. No KYC Requirement: Users can start trading immediately without undergoing complicated identity verification processes, ensuring maximum privacy.
    2. 100x Leverage: BexBack provides up to 100x leverage on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more, allowing traders to open larger positions with smaller capital and maximize profit potential in volatile market conditions.
    3. Exclusive Bonuses:
      • $100 Trading Bonus: New users who deposit at least 0.01 BTC or 1000 USDT and complete their first trade will receive a $100 bonus, helping them get started with trading and offset potential losses.
      • 100% Deposit Bonus: Double your funds with a 100% deposit bonus, which can be used as margin for increased trading power. While this bonus is non-withdrawable, it can significantly amplify profits by allowing traders to open larger positions.
    4. Zero Deposit Fees: There are no deposit fees on the BexBack platform, giving traders more freedom to manage their investments without worrying about additional costs.

    How Does 100x Leverage Work?

    100x leverage allows traders to open positions much larger than their initial investment, enabling them to profit from even small price movements in the market. For example, if the price of Bitcoin rises by $5,000, a trader using 100x leverage can earn up to 5 BTC from a 1 BTC investment, resulting in a 500% return. However, traders should be cautious, as higher leverage also increases the risk of liquidation.

    Global Access and 24/7 Support

    BexBack is accessible to users across the globe, including in the United States, Canada, Europe, and many other regions. The platform is available via both web and mobile applications, offering users a feature-rich, seamless trading experience wherever they are.

  • MIL-OSI: BuyerTwin Launches AI Platform to Give Businesses Direct Access to Virtual Buyer Feedback

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Cleveland, OH, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BuyerTwin today announced the launch of its groundbreaking AI-powered platform that creates interactive “twins” of ideal buyer personas, providing businesses with direct, unfiltered feedback on their marketing, sales, and product strategies. The platform allows teams to test messaging, content, website usability, and more, receiving instant, honest insights as if talking directly to their target audience.

    BuyerTwin leverages advanced AI and data from its proprietary TwinForce network—which recruits real buyers—to build highly accurate virtual personas. Users can interact with these AI twins in real-time to understand customer perspectives deeply. Key capabilities include:

    • Website Feedback: Instantly see how site copy, design, and navigation feel from the buyer’s perspective.
    • Content Insight: Understand which topics, formats, and messaging angles genuinely capture buyer attention and address their needs.
    • Channel Behavior Analysis: Discover where ideal buyers actually spend their time and how they prefer to engage.
    • Positioning & Messaging Tests: Refine value propositions and eliminate confusing jargon to ensure clarity.
    • Sales Approach Validation: Get direct feedback on sales messaging and identify what buyers need to feel confident.
    • Competitor Analysis: Understand how buyers perceive competitor offerings and positioning.
    • Keyword Discovery: Uncover the authentic language and search terms buyers use.

    This innovative platform addresses a critical challenge: while most companies strive for buyer-centricity, they often operate from an internal “inside-out” perspective. This leads to an “illusion of understanding,” where decisions are based on assumptions, internal biases, and legacy thinking rather than the buyer’s true reality. Traditional market research methods can be slow, costly, or fail to capture the dynamic nature of buyer motivations.

    “Every business thinks they know their buyer, but the reality is, internal biases and legacy thinking create significant blind spots. Breaking free from that inside-out perspective is incredibly difficult,” said Andy Halko, CEO of BuyerTwin. “BuyerTwin acts as the mechanism to finally achieve genuine buyer-centricity. It provides that crucial, unfiltered outside-in view, removing the guesswork and allowing companies to align their strategies with what truly motivates and resonates with their customers. It’s about moving from assumption to understanding, which is the foundation of sustainable growth.”

    BuyerTwin is designed for business leaders, marketing professionals, sales teams, and content creators committed to building a truly buyer-centric organization. By providing always-on, dynamic buyer intelligence, the platform empowers companies to make smarter, data-backed decisions, reduce wasted effort on misaligned initiatives, and accelerate growth by deeply understanding and serving their customers.

    About BuyerTwin

    BuyerTwin provides an innovative AI-powered platform that enables businesses to operationalize buyer-centricity. By creating interactive virtual buyer personas (“twins”) based on real-world data, the platform offers instant, unfiltered feedback on marketing, sales, and product strategies, simulating direct conversations with ideal customers. BuyerTwin helps companies break free from internal biases and assumptions, fostering deep customer understanding to refine strategies, eliminate guesswork, and drive sustainable growth.

  • MIL-OSI: AutoScheduler.AI Discusses How Disjointed Tech Wreaks Havoc on Distribution on Supply Chain Now Podcast

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    AUSTIN, Texas, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AutoScheduler.AI, an innovative Warehouse Orchestration Platform and WMS accelerator, recently participated in a podcast on Supply Chain Now, the voice of supply chain. AutoScheduler CEO Keith Moore discussed how disjointed tech wreaks havoc on distribution with hosts Scott Luton and Jake Barr, who used AutoScheduler when he worked at P&G.

    To listen to the podcast, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m3bzn2vpls.

    “Distribution centers and warehouses have no shortage of challenges, including labor shortages, increased demand, and disparate automation and technology that doesn’t integrate well,” says Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler.AI. “For enterprises serious about efficiency and resource maximization, AutoScheduler delivers dynamic orchestration tailored to warehouse complexities, ensuring every asset and process is optimized to support production, boost throughput, and drive profitability.”

    On the podcast “The Logistics Problem No One Talks About: How Disjointed Tech is Wreaking Havoc on Distribution,” AutoScheduler highlighted:

    • The real cost of scattered data and disconnected workflows.
      • Many companies build buffers to account for the disjointed information, resulting in excess inventory, additional labor, and underutilized automation. Adding more space and crew also adds unnecessary costs.
      • AutoScheduler improves the quality of work by eliminating the endless firefighting cycle of ensuring the right products arrive at the right place at the right time.

    “These buffers, costs, and challenges that exist because of the disjointed nature of systems wouldn’t exist in a perfect world because everything would just get where it needs to go,” adds Moore. “You would have optimized service at optimized cost. For example, a production schedule changes by the minute, so companies need to know what raw materials need to be brought to what line at what time. This must be perfectly orchestrated to get everything there so production continues running.”

    • Why traditional WMS and ERP solutions aren’t enough anymore.
      • The traditional WMS is not designed to optimize a facility’s overall constrained flows. An ERP doesn’t plan in size buckets for less than a day, but most changes in the warehouse occur in minutes, not days.
      • To meet customer delivery requirements, businesses need to know where inventory is, what inventory is going on which truck, how many pick processes are needed to get the inventory, and the capacity limits that the dock or production line can handle at a particular time. This can only be done with advanced mathematics like AI that can think further than the next 5, 10, or 20 minutes into the future.

    “The snowball effect that as all these changes, dilemmas, and delays add up, so we need to take a smarter, better, forward-looking approach with available technology, rather than using the very limiting traditional platforms that are out there,” adds Moore.

    • How visibility and orchestration eliminate operational silos.
      • Step one is to have a single pane of glass showing all the ingested data from the siloed units so you can pull together the threads that hold the data together and show how they will impact each other. AutoScheduler allows companies to have all the data in one place by integrating the data across platforms, giving businesses a single view of information, which enhances decision-making.
      • Step two is predictivity—being able to examine the data, examine known boundaries and conditions inside your facility, and start to predict what will happen.
      • Step three is “prescriptivity”—or orchestration—where you make decisions to optimize future outcomes.

    “With orchestration, we take all the data, do scenario modeling to figure out where the world’s going to break and where my bottlenecks are going to be, and then start to make tradeoffs to optimize outcomes – and at the end of the day, that optimized outcome is some combination of maximized service, minimized cost,” adds Moore.

    • AI’s role in integrating, predicting, and optimizing distribution workflows.
      • It creates calm out of the chaos because you have taken the prescriptive steps to create a cadence of activities where the people running the operations know what to execute next without stopping and waiting.
      • AI is evaluating all the different potential options for running a facility, not just for the next five minutes but for the next day or two, based on all known information.

  • MIL-OSI: Superstar Platforms, Inc Files Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Marks Key Milestone Toward Becoming a Fully Reporting Public Company

    ATLANTA, GA, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dinewise, Inc (OTC PINK-DWIS) (referred to as “Dinewise”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) A leading national technology conglomerate specializing in automotive, fintech, and entertainment solutions has announced the filing of its Form 10 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Formerly known as Dinewise, the Company will now operate under its new name, Superstar Platforms, Inc., as it transitions into a fully reporting public entity.

    “This is a pivotal milestone in our company’s journey,” said Michael Farr, CEO of Superstar Platforms, Inc. “From the moment I accepted the role of CEO, I have been laser-focused on providing transparency and meeting all necessary compliance requirements in our operations. This filing reflects our commitment to our stakeholders, and paves the way for greater liquidity.”

    With this filing, Superstar Platforms, Inc. will now adhere to the SEC’s regulatory framework required of public companies. The company has also established a board of directors composed of a diverse group of seasoned entrepreneurs, trailblazers, and community leaders, each bringing valuable experience and insight to guide the company’s strategic initiatives.

    Looking forward, the company anticipates finalizing its acquisition of TitlePal; a fintech company that has developed an innovative online solution for Title Pawn transactions, in the coming month. Superstar Platforms also plans to update its ticker symbol to better align with its new corporate identity.

    About Superstar Platforms

    Superstar Platforms, a leading national technology conglomerate, is the parent company that owns and controls a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries across various industries. Growth will primarily be driven through strategic acquisitions. Currently Superstar Platforms owns PawnTrust: a specialized marketplace designed exclusively for the approximately 11,000 pawn shops across the country. The online marketplace (www.pawntrust.com) digitizes the inventory using advanced image recognition algorithms to automate item descriptions of the participating pawn shops and markets them on a national scale. The marketplace contains cutting-edge technology that streamlines the borrowing, buying, and bartering transactions typically found at a pawn shop. The platform plans to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize pricing, reduce fraud, and create personalized search recommendations to enhance the customer’s experience. These enhancements let consumers experience a frictionless shopping experience on their mobile app that gives them instant access to this nationwide inventory of pawn shops. Not only does this provide a more efficient way for consumers to shop, eliminating the need to visit multiple stores, but it also amplifies the reach of individual pawn shop owners. By joining the PawnTrust- ‘Pawn Partners’ network, shop owners gain access to a broader audience, enhancing their visibility and sales opportunities. This innovative approach aligns customer convenience with business growth, reshaping how people interact with the pawn industry. Consumers that purchase items outside of their local area will have their items conveniently shipped to them. As the intermediary in each transaction, PawnTrust earns a fee on every item sold in the marketplace. Many of these local pawn shops lack an online presence or the capital to market their inventory on a national scale. By bridging this gap, PawnTrust opens up opportunities for incremental sales from a wider buying base, effectively transforming the pawn shop and micro-lending industries. This model not only supports local businesses but also extends their reach, driving growth and innovation within the market. 

    About TitlePal 

    TitlePal is an innovative, web-based lender that delivers fast, convenient cash loans to individuals with clear auto titles. By harnessing advanced algorithms and integrating with third-party systems, the platform ensures seamless verification of applicants’ identity, financial capacity, and vehicle condition. Approved funds are deposited directly into customers’ bank accounts, often within minutes, setting a new standard for efficiency in title lending

  • MIL-OSI: Lewis Hamilton Foundation Mission 44 and HP Inc. Join Forces to Drive STEM Skills and Future of Work Readiness for Young People

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today at the F1 Miami Grand Prix circuit, Sir Lewis Hamilton’s global foundation Mission 44 and HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) announced a multi-year partnership to fuel access to technology and skills needed to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

    This collaboration unites Mission 44’s drive for greater inclusivity in STEM with HP’s ambition to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people globally by 2030, equipping disconnected adolescents and adults with the critical skills needed to thrive in the future of work.

    Through targeted initiatives in Miami and then expanding to the UK, the partnership will provide the technology, training, digital skills, and mentorship young people need to unlock opportunities to participate in the digital economy.

    Mission 44 and HP will first support two Miami-based tech hubs. America on Tech, an early pipeline tech talent accelerator that creates career pathways for young people and Miami EdTech, which aims to provide workforce development through computer science and digital skilling.

    Later this year, HP and Mission 44 will expand their collaboration to support schools and educators in the UK to increase learning access to equip young people for tomorrow’s workforce.

    “The partnership between HP and Mission 44 harnesses the unique strength and influence of our organizations. HP’s ability to shape the future of work through technology, combined with Mission 44’s drive for impactful change, makes this collaboration truly powerful,” said Michele Malejki, Global Head of Social Impact at HP Inc. and Executive Director of the HP Foundation. “Together, we are fuelling access to essential skills and technology, equipping disconnected adolescents and adults to participate and thrive in the digital economy, and we are excited to bring this program to more people globally. Through a new HP Future of Work Skills Hub and support for local NGOs and educators, we are empowering the next generation with the tools they need to succeed.”

    “At Mission 44, we strongly believe in the power of collaboration, and our partnership with HP is the perfect example,” said Jason Arthur, CEO of Mission 44. “By bringing together a global tech leader and local non-profits, we know we can make a meaningful impact for young people, raising aspirations and achievement, and enabling access to exciting careers in STEM.”

    To kick off the partnership, the two organizations invited a group of young people from the Miami area to the Grand Prix circuit to meet Lewis Hamilton, whose personal experiences of education and motorsport have left him determined to build a more inclusive future. The group was given an exclusive tour of the Scuderia Ferrari HP Team garage and F1 paddock and participated in talks with industry insiders on the opportunities and skills required for careers in STEM related industries.

    Empowering Learners and Educators in Miami and Beyond

    In conjunction with the partnership announcement, HP has launched the new online Future of Work Skills Hub, designed to equip learners and educators across the globe with the tools needed to thrive in an ever-evolving digital world. The online portal offers a variety of skills courses, including AI and data science as well as business leadership. Additionally, it provides resources to assist educators in understanding and utilizing generative AI in education.

    Furthering their commitment to empowering young people, HP, Mission 44, Miami EdTEch and America on Tech have established the first on the ground Future of Work Hubs. These physical hubs in Miami combine lasting access to HP technology with long-term learning support for young people in those communities.

    “Technology is at the heart of our mission to empower underrepresented young people,” said Carlos Vazquez, Founder of Miami EdTech. “Thanks to HP and Mission 44, and the creation of our new hub, we now have more tech to teach with, giving our students the skills they need to succeed in STEM.”

    “We are proud to partner with Mission 44 and HP to help shape a meaningful tech education ecosystem in Miami. Together, we are investing in the brilliance and potential of young people—ensuring they have access to the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive in the innovation economy,” said Jessica Santana, Chief Executive Officer, America on Tech. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to closing the digital divide and creating pathways that empower the next generation of tech leaders.”

  • MIL-OSI: Battery Tender Launches Charge N Start Lineup, a Powerful All-in-One Solution for Charging and Jump-Starting

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DELAND, Fla., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Battery Tender by Deltran, a leading brand in battery chargers and jump starters, today announces the launch of its new Charge N Start line, a cutting-edge suite of two-in-one battery chargers and jump starters. With three models featuring smart charging technology and robust jump-starting power, the Charge N Start series ensures versatility for car owners, powersports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike.

    A dead battery can turn a routine day into an unexpected hassle, whether it strands a commuter in a parking lot, delays an off-road ride or interrupts a road trip. Traditional jumper cables require another vehicle, and portable jump starters, while effective, can’t maintain battery levels. By combining a jump starter with a smart charger and maintainer in one device, Charge N Start eliminates battery anxiety, helps prepare motorists for roadside emergencies and keeps batteries in top condition, leading to longer battery life.

    “At Battery Tender, we understand that our customers rely on their vehicles for adventures, work and everyday convenience,” said Michael Prelec, CEO of Deltran, parent company of Battery Tender. “The Charge N Start lineup is more than a jump starter and charging solution, it’s a game changer in battery maintenance. Whether you’re an everyday motorist, commuter, avid mariner, powersport enthusiast or weekend rider, having a single device that not only gets you back on the road but also protects and maintains your battery’s health over time is invaluable.”

    Charge N Start 4120 leads the lineup, featuring a 4 AMP charger and a 1200 AMP jump starter intended for most vehicles including cars, boats, SUVs and powersport vehicles. For powersport vehicles like motorcycles, personal watercraft and ATVs, riders can count on Charge N Start 1110 and 1120 models. These 12V, 1 AMP solutions provide peace of mind, so riders are always ready, whether they’re taking their bike for a cruise or heading out for an off-road adventure.

    Charge N Start details:

    • Charge N Start 1100 ($129.95) – A 12V, 1 AMP charger and 1000 AMP jump starter for powersports vehicles such as motorcycles, personal watercraft, ATVs and UTVs, capable of jump-starting up to V8 engines.
    • Charge N Start 1120 ($139.95) – An enhanced version of the 1100, designed for the same vehicle types but with improved durability and reliability.
    • Charge N Start 4120 ($169.95) – A 12V, 4 AMP charger with a 1200 AMP jump starter, ideal for cars, trucks, boats, SUVs and powersports vehicles.

    Charge N Start is compatible with standard (sealed or flooded lead acid), AGM, GEL and lithium batteries, supporting a wide range of vehicles. When connected, it automatically switches from charging the car battery to the jump starter once the car battery is fully charged, ensuring it’s ready without manual input. Built with spark-proof technology and reverse polarity protection to ensure safe use, motorists can easily operate Charge N Start worry-free. The portable design and carrying case also make it easy to store and transport. Additional accessories include smart alligator clips, a 6-foot AC input and DC output cable and an alligator clip and ring terminal cable combo with a 7.5 AMP fuse.

    Charge N Start is available on BatteryTender.com, Amazon and will be coming to Lowe’s Home Improvement nationwide in June. For more information on Charge N Start models and the full range of battery management solutions from Battery Tender, visit BatteryTender.com.

Today, Barry leaves it a $2.8 billion market leader with an excellent track record of success over decades. He has been instrumental in building a business which continues to set new standards and achieve exceptional results,” said Susan Rivera, TMHCC’s CEO. “I am delighted to be working even more closely with Barry in his new role, and in Thibaud, we have the ideal candidate to carry on his legacy.

Paymode is Bottomline’s leading business payments network, processing over $450B annually. By embedding access to Paymode into its best-in-class commercial Digital Banking solution, Bottomline’s bank clients can now offer Paymode to their business customers in a single platform.

    Bottomline’s new solution introduces the industry’s first in-app self-enrollment service for supplier payments, embedded into its commercial Digital Banking platform. This capability provides banks with an additional tool to serve their customers and creates exciting new revenue opportunities for banks and their customers.

    “This next phase in digital banking, unique to both Bottomline and the banking world, will help digitize more payments for corporates as well as generate more sustainable and predictable non-interest income for banks,” said Craig Saks, CEO and President of Bottomline. “With the ease of self-enrollment coupled with our large vendor population, this new solution creates a significant opportunity for corporates and banks.”
