Wells Fargo makes headway in delivering digital solutions with 'Vantage'

Aimed at its corporate investment and commercial banking clients, Wells Fargo has rolled out a new online portal, 'Vantage'.

The new offering leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning designed to address customers' demands for customized solutions.

The product is accessible to all of the bank's clients, including early-stage startups, global corporations, and investment banking customers.

The AI tech taps into Wells Fargo’s existing client database to predict what the customer might require at a particular step of their financial journey or when they grow in order to achieve their financial goals. Vantage will also provide advanced insights to its clients regarding important money matters.

The digital platform offers the bank's suite of financial solutions and services all in one place -- giving it a competitive edge over its rivals.

The platform will work in tandem with the bank’s virtual assistant, Fargo – which launched in October this year – as well as its existing Commercial Electronic Office Portal – or CEO Portal – which launched over two decades ago to serve its commercial banking, corporate, and investment banking clients.


Top stories of the week

BANK OF AMERICA
Bank of America CEO doesn’t see the need for layoffs

While rivals including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley reduce staff ahead of a potential recession in 2023 -- Bank of America CEO, Moynihan, and his CFO seems confident not jumping on the layoff bandwagon.

COINBASE
Coinbase CEO expects the exchange's FY2022 revenue to plunge by 50%

Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, indicated that the company's revenue will plunge 50% this year compared to FY2021. The anticipation comes from the prolonged crypto winter, the impact of the economic downturn sweeping key players in the space, followed by bigger blows due to a string of high-profile collapses -- which has smashed investor confidence in digital assets. Shares of Coinbase were up 2.74% on Thursday, but have plunged 82% year-to-date.

ROBINHOOD
Robinhood launches 'Robinhood Retirement' savings accounts

Robinhood rolled out Robinhood Retirement savings accounts, which will allow consumers to open an individual retirement account (IRA) and choose between a traditional or Roth IRA to begin saving for retirement now. Robinhood’s IRA product offers a 1% match from Robinhood on every eligible dollar contributed to the account. This means users who save for the first time, like gig workers, can eventually grow their retirement savings. Users are now eligible to join the waitlist to have early access to the offering on a rolling basis, until the product becomes widely available in January 2023. (Los Angeles Times)
