Ribbon to launch digital financial services app

FINTECH firm Ribbon Plc will launch a digital financial services app to offer hyper-personalised multi-currency wallets to NRIs as well as residents of India, the company said in a statement.

The carbon-neutral app will meet the growing need for a single platform that’s an aggregate of multiple financial services.


According to the company, services such as stock trading, real-estate investments, mortgages, FX and crypto trading, remittances and payments can be found within the app.

It will also offer virtual and physical debit cards, AI-powered analytics, and tools such as Budget, Goals and Piggy Bank.

“On Ribbon we are providing a gateway to any bank in India at affordable prices with our unique payments marketplace,” said Ashesh Jani, CEO and co-founder of Ribbon Plc.

"We are also committed to supporting SMEs and that is why we are creating a digital business account that is fast and easy to open, simple to operate and a powerful tool to complement the growth of our customers’ businesses.”

Ribbon chairman and co-founder Suchit Punnose said: "The principles of planet, people, and profit are at the core of everything Ribbon will do, so we’re keeping them in mind as we develop one of the world’s first net-zero emissions financial services platforms… built to keep pace with the global Indian’s aspirations and stand out in the crowded fintech market.”

He added that Ribbon’s ‘account before you fly’ service is useful for Indian students and professionals when they are ready to work or study abroad.

Initially addressing a market of 1.8 million NRIs in the UK as well as residents of India and Gibraltar, Ribbon plans to acquire further licenses and expand globally in order to better serve the 33 million NRIs living around the globe, the statement further said.

UK house price growth slows as buyers delay decisions ahead of budget

Highlights

  • Average UK house price rose 0.3 per cent in October to £272,226, down from 0.5 per cent growth in September.
  • Annual house price growth edged up to 2.4 per cent, with market remaining resilient despite mortgage rates being double pre-pandemic levels.
  • Buyers delaying purchases amid speculation that November budget could introduce new property taxes on homes worth over £500,000.
British house prices grew at a slower pace in October as buyers adopted a wait-and-see approach ahead of the government's budget announcement on 26 November, according to data from mortgage lender Nationwide.

The average house price increased by 0.3 per cent month-on-month in October to £272,226, down from a 0.5 per cent rise in September. Despite the monthly slowdown, annual house price growth accelerated slightly to 2.4 per cent, up from 2.2 per cent in the previous month.

Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said the market had demonstrated broad stability in recent months. "Against a backdrop of subdued consumer confidence and signs of weakening in the labour market, this performance indicates resilience, especially since mortgage rates are more than double the level they were before Covid struck and house prices are close to all-time highs".
