This month’s Financial Innovation Spotlight features five eye-catching initiatives from around the world. In Brazil, Nubank has made its debut in the brick-and-mortar world thanks to a special partnership with Burger King. Meanwhile in Asia, Standard Chartered has launched a unique forex insights solution for its mainland Chinese clients, with other regional markets soon to follow, and Malaysia-based insurer Tune Protect is offering lounge access vouchers to customers facing flight delays. Finally, two Spanish banks have earned their place in the spotlight for innovative new app features: Banco Sabadell’s real-time card transaction geolocation tool and BBVA’s enhanced AI virtual assistant.
