Conduent Expands Deployment of EBT Solutions to Prevent Fraud and Improve Customer Experiences Across U.S. States

Business Wire3 days ago
FLORHAM PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business solutions and services company, announced the continued deployment of its Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) solutions to enhance security and the end-user experience. These enhancements include fraud prevention tools such as intelligent voice systems that detect suspicious calls, technologies enabling the planned move to EBT chip cards and mobile wallet integration, as well as a Conduent feature that locks and unlocks accounts, which is now being used in 12 U.S. states.
The lock/unlock feature enables recipients of government assistance – specifically participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – to lock and unlock their EBT accounts through Conduent's ConnectEBT mobile app and cardholder portal.
Benefit recipients can lock their card to block all purchases or limit the blocking to purchases outside of their home state, giving them greater control and helping to prevent unauthorized access by fraudsters.
Technology Backed by Conduent's VeriSight Anti-Fraud Suite
The account control feature is part of Conduent's VeriSight Anti-Fraud Suite, a set of innovative tools available to state agencies to address threats of fraud in public benefit programs. The 12 Conduent-supported states currently offering the lock/unlock functionality are Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia – with additional states expected to adopt the technology in the near future.
Intelligent IVR and Real-Time Alerts
Beyond account locking, Conduent's VeriSight suite includes an advanced interactive voice response (IVR) system for EBT customer service centers. The system uses behavioral analytics to detect patterns such as excessive calls from a single number, enabling real-time restrictions to prevent suspicious access attempts.
Additionally, users of Conduent's ConnectEBT app can opt in to receive real-time usage alerts – empowering them to quickly detect and report potentially fraudulent activity.
Future EMV Chip and Mobile Wallet Integration
Meanwhile, Conduent continues to work with several states to prepare for the introduction of SNAP cards with EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) chip technology, which will further boost card security and reduce fraud risks at points of sale. The company is also poised to support state implementations of mobile wallet functionality, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, to bring added convenience and modernize benefit access.
'With decades of experience in helping state agencies serve residents more effectively, operate more efficiently, and ensure that public aid goes to the intended recipients, our EBT lock-and-unlock feature is one of many solutions Conduent is delivering to combat fraud that threatens taxpayer funds,' said Anna Sever, President, Government Solutions at Conduent. 'Our team continues to make progress in implementing important features in more states, while also integrating AI technologies to automate processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs, while improving service for the people who depend on these critical benefits.'
Conduent is a leading provider of government payment disbursements for federally funded benefit and payment card programs. The company also supports U.S. agencies with end-to-end solutions for healthcare claims processing, eligibility and enrollment, and child support administration.

Exelixis' Partner Ipsen Receives European Commission Approval for CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) for Patients with Previously Treated Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors

– Approval is based on the phase 3 CABINET pivotal trial, in which CABOMETYX demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival versus placebo – – CABOMETYX is the first and only systemic therapy to be approved in the European Union for previously treated neuroendocrine tumors, regardless of tumor site, grade or previous non-somatostatin analogue-based systemic therapy – ALAMEDA, Calif., July 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) today announced that its partner Ipsen received approval from the European Commission (EC) for CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic (pNET) and extra-pancreatic (epNET) neuroendocrine tumors who have progressed following at least one prior systemic therapy other than somatostatin analogues. This approval follows the positive opinion received from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in June 2025 and allows for the marketing of CABOMETYX in this indication in all 27 member states of the European Union (EU), Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. "The availability of CABOMETYX in the European Union for patients with previously treated advanced neuroendocrine tumors is a significant milestone as there have been limited treatment advancements in the past decade, including very few options shown to improve outcomes across a heterogenous population," said Amy Peterson, M.D., Executive Vice President, Product Development and Medical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer, Exelixis. "This approval builds on the global CABOMETYX franchise and extends its benefit to even more patients in need of new treatment options. We are proud to partner with Ipsen in our shared commitment to improving the standard of care for people living with advanced, difficult-to-treat cancers." The EC approval is based on results from the phase 3 CABINET pivotal trial, which evaluated CABOMETYX compared with placebo in two cohorts of patients with previously treated NET: advanced pNET and advanced epNET. CABINET was the basis for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of CABOMETYX in March 2025 for the treatment of 1) adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pNET; and 2) adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated epNET. About CABINET (Alliance A021602)CABINET (Randomized, Double-Blinded, Phase III Study of CABozantinib versus Placebo In Patients with Advanced NEuroendocrine Tumors After Progression on Prior Therapy) is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and is being led and conducted by the NCI-funded Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology with participation from the NCI-funded National Clinical Trials Network, as part of Exelixis' collaboration through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program. CABINET is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase 3 pivotal trial that enrolled a total of 298 patients in two separate cohorts (pNET and epNET) in the U.S. at the time of the final analysis. Patients were randomized 2:1 to cabozantinib (60 mg) or placebo; each cohort was randomized separately and had its own statistical analysis plan. The trial was stopped early after an interim analysis showed superior efficacy associated with cabozantinib as compared to placebo in each of the two cohorts. Patients with epNET had primary tumors arising in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lung, unknown primary sites and other organs. Patients must have had measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria and must have experienced disease progression or intolerance after at least one U.S. FDA-approved line of prior systemic therapy other than somatostatin analogs. The primary endpoint in each cohort was PFS per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, objective response rate and safety. More information about this trial is available at About NETNET are cancers that begin in the specialized cells of the body's neuroendocrine system.1 These cells have traits of both hormone-producing endocrine cells and nerve cells.1 It is estimated that 161,000 to 192,000 people in the U.S. are living with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic NET.2 The number of people diagnosed with NET has been increasing in recent decades.3 Functional NET release peptide hormones that can cause debilitating symptoms, like diarrhea, hypertension and flushing, while symptoms of non-functional NET are related primarily to tumor growth.4,5,6,7,8 Most NET take years to develop and grow slowly, but eventually all patients with advanced or metastatic NET will develop refractory and progressing disease.9,10 NET can start in the pancreas (pNET), where they tend to be more aggressive, with a five-year survival rate of only 23% for advanced disease.1,11 NET can also develop in any part of the body, but most commonly start in the GI tract or in the lungs, where they have historically been referred to as carcinoid tumors and are more recently called epNET.1 The five-year survival rates for advanced GI and lung NET tumors are 68% and 55%, respectively.12,13 For advanced NET patients, treatment options include somatostatin analogs, chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy and peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy.14 About CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib)In the U.S., CABOMETYX tablets are approved as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and in combination with nivolumab as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced RCC; for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have been previously treated with sorafenib; for adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) that has progressed following prior VEGFR-targeted therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory or ineligible; for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pNET; and adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated epNET. CABOMETYX tablets have also received regulatory approvals in over 65 countries outside the U.S. and Japan, including the EU. In 2016, Exelixis granted Ipsen Pharma SAS exclusive rights for the commercialization and further clinical development of cabozantinib outside of the U.S. and Japan. In 2017, Exelixis granted exclusive rights to Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited for the commercialization and further clinical development of cabozantinib for all future indications in Japan. Exelixis holds the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize cabozantinib in the U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hemorrhage: CABOMETYX can cause severe and fatal hemorrhages.

Marriott Completes Its Acquisition of CitizenM

The DJIA fell 316 points, but the Nasdaq was up 38, the S&P 500 rose 4 points, and the 10-year treasury yield was up .02 to 4.41%. Lodging stocks were mostly lower. TNL and HGV hit new highs again, but SOND dropped -11% and SVC was down -5%. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts received a good response to a modestly higher-than-expected 2Q25 earnings report. While the nitpicking was on the 'other revenues' mainly credit card fees, in this environment, a beat is a beat. Some analysts described the overall result as better than feared, others pointed out the solid results even with a -3% drop in RevPAR. We found the issue with the China Super 8 master licensee interesting, as WH removed the 67,300 rooms there from the reporting, but still is showing positive net room growth in 2025. While that amount of rooms may seem a lot, WH said the agreement only accounted for $3 million in EBITDA last year. WH shares were up 3% on the day. According to
