Finextra19-06-2025

The partnership comes at a critical moment as wealth managers and private banks adapt to evolving client expectations, growing regulatory complexity, and increasing pressure on profitability. By combining Mambu's leadership in cloud-native core banking and extensive global operational footprint with Light Frame's sophisticated investment operations and portfolio management technology, the collaboration offers a distinct advantage to banks as they shape and execute their strategy.
'Mambu's entry into private banking alongside Light Frame marks a material step toward modernizing a sector that has historically seen limited innovation,' said Cenk Bozal, Region Manager DACH at Mambu. 'With over 260 live customers across 65 countries, Mambu is uniquely positioned to partner with the industry to realize the transformational value of a modern, proven core.'
The core banking market is projected to exceed $65 billion by 2032, growing annually at 18.6%, according to Fortune Business Insights. The wealth management sector remains underserved by legacy technology, resulting in high operational costs and constrained innovation. The Mambu x Light Frame partnership presents a timely and transformative solution for institutions seeking modern alternatives that are secure, compliant, and built for speed and scalability.
'Over the past decade, Mambu has been at the forefront of core banking innovation, though our efforts have largely focused outside the Wealth industry,' said Leon Stevens, Head of EMEA at Mambu. 'We are now pleased to extend that innovation to private banks, wealth managers, brokerage banks, and WealthTechs as they modernize or start their operations.
By bridging the gap between investment operations and core retail banking, the new solution empowers Wealth institutions to:
Deliver seamless, end-to-end banking and investment experiences
Accelerate implementation timelines and reduce IT complexity
Integrate efficiently with third-party platforms
Drive productivity and automation through intuitive interfaces and modern architecture
Ensure resilience, compliance, and scalability through a cloud-native infrastructure
'When we set out to build a modern Swiss private bank, we searched for a core system that could deliver sophisticated wealth services while embracing the advantages of new technology. It didn't exist,' said Schuyler Weiss, CEO of Light Frame and former founder and CEO of the Swiss bank Alpian. 'That experience led to Light Frame. Today, in partnership with Mambu, we're offering a new benchmark—an end-to-end solution that's fast to implement, intuitive to use, and purpose-built for the high-touch, tailored services that define private banking.'

Trump tariffs hit peaches as Greece fears dent in demand

July's peach harvest in Greece 's northern orchards, a period typically marked by meticulous picking and processing for canning, is now shrouded in uncertainty. The industry, which often supplies consumers in the United States, faces a significant threat following US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 30 per cent tariff on European products. This new levy has sent shivers through a range of European sectors, from wine and olive oil to the automotive industry. For Greek peach farmers and factory owners, the timing is particularly critical. As they prepare to send their fresh produce overseas, there is growing concern that the tariffs will severely dent demand, leaving them with little time to adapt or find alternative markets for their fruit. Greece is the world's biggest exporter of tinned peaches, about one fifth of which goes to the United States, its second biggest market after Europe. Peaches, like some other goods, are already subject to a U.S. import levy of 17%. The new tariffs could increase the total import duty to 47%. "Now is even worse because it finds us at the peak, where the entire plant and all the production lines are working at full speed," said Lazaros Ioannidis, co-owner of a peach and fruit processing plant near Naoussa that sends about 40% of its produce to big U.S. companies like Dole. The fertile plain of Central Macedonia in Greece is one massive peach orchard. A sea of pink greets visitors in the spring, when the trees blossom. This week, trucks offloaded crate after crate brimming with thousands of yellow peaches at Ioannidis' plant, where they were loaded onto conveyor belts for processing. Greece's annual turnover from exports of tinned peach and other packaged peach products amounts to more than 600 million euros, with about 120 million euros coming from the U.S. market. Exports to the United States represent about 4% of Greece's total exports. Canned peach and peach derivatives, olives and olive oil are the three top exported agriculture products to the U.S., bringing home about half a billion euros annually. More than 20,000 families, farmers and workers make their income from peach farms and peach factories in Central Macedonia, according to Kostas Apostolou, head of the Greek Canners Association. "Our size might be small as a percentage for the country or the EU but for the region its a big source of income, vital for it's survival." "For the past 6 months, since Trump took office, we have been in a period of an absolute turmoil," says Apostolou. He said that the only alternative is to diversify exports to Mercosur countries in South America or to Mexico and India and urged the EU to sign a trade agreement with those countries. The EU was planning to approve a trade deal with Mercosur but has faced opposition from some countries. Still, there are also optimists "Trump is unpredictable. We hope that he will prove that and he will change this decision," said farmer Vangelis Karaindros as he and his employees picked ripe peaches by hand.

Amazon driver reveals exactly how much they get paid every day – and it doesn't matter how many parcels you deliver

AN AMAZON driver has revealed exactly how much he gets paid per day, and it doesn't matter how many parcels he delivers. As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, many Brits are looking for side hustles to give themselves a cash boost. 3 3 3 From flogging clothes on ebay, to setting up your own vending machine, cash-savvy Brits are inventive when it comes to coming up with new ways to make extra pennies. And one man, has revealed that he does shifts as an Amazon delivery driver, alongside his other jobs, as a football coach and a mechanic. Taking to TikTok, Alex (@alexthemech) who is saving up cash to relocate to Spain, shared a "quick explanation" of the amount he makes per shift. The driver revealed that Amazon workers get a set "standard pay" each day, regardless of how many parcels he delivers. 'So it's £150 per day for a normal van or £165 for a long wheelbase van", he shared. Alex, who uses his own van to do his rounds shared that it doesn't matter whether he does 70 stops or 170 stops, "the pay doesn't change". "You have some drivers that are relatively slow and take it nice and easy", he explained. "They might have 70 stops a day." "And you have drivers that are quick and love doing 140 stops. But the pay stays the same." However, he added that you can't choose how many stops you are given, and have to get through all of the stops, or it is taken out of your wages. I'm a mum-of-2 and was a broke teaching assistant on £840 a month - now I've made 46k doing a side hustle anyone can do Alex, who recorded the video after a "nice and easy" day driving around Wales, making 100 stops, added that you have to pay for your own fuel, with Amazon then reimbursing you 19p per mile after two weeks. Commenting under the video, one TikToker asked: "Did you say 19p a mile? That is far too low! "That must be costing you out of pocket surely." Replying to the comment, Alex explained: "Yep that's correct 19p. "I usually lose about £5 per day in my van but other drivers who have smaller 1.6 diesel vans make a couple of pounds each day." In a second video, Alex revealed that you can earn more during a shift, if you do a "split" with a driver who is struggling. For example, if another driver is only available to deliver half of their allocated parcels, you can do the other half before them and earn an extra £75, meaning they only get paid £75, instead of £150. Alex added that you can also get bonuses of up to £12 for good reviews from customers, and can lose money due to bad reviews. The video has likely left many intrigued, as it has gone viral, racking up over 130,000 views on the video sharing platform.
