In this month’s Financial Innovation Spotlight, we zoom in on five exciting new projects from around the world. The UK’s trailblazing digital banks are first under the spotlight: Atom is empowering homeowners with personalized energy-saving solutions, while Revolut is protecting its customers against fraud with in-app phone support. In France, Crédit Agricole’s proptech Khome has rolled out an enticing offer for clients seeking to buy real estate: a co-investment model that covers 10% of the downpayment.

Finally, in Uzbekistan, TBC UZ has launched a subscription service that seamlessly combines banking and lifestyle benefits.
