LHV Bank, Salt Edge, Tuum enter open banking alliance
The collaboration leverages Tuum's advanced core banking platform and Salt Edge's Open Banking Compliance solution to deliver enhanced services to customers.
Since 2022, Tuum and Salt Edge have worked together to enable European financial institutions to adopt open banking features efficiently.
Their partnership provides a modular, 'API-first' core banking system that integrates seamlessly with secure open banking functionalities.
LHV Bank, a Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider serving more than 200 fintechs with retail banking and business lending solutions, has benefited significantly from this alliance, said Tuum.
To modernise its core banking infrastructure, LHV Bank selected Tuum's platform.
Tuum sales vice president Miljan Stamenkovic said: 'Our partnership with Salt Edge allows institutions like LHV Bank to unlock the full potential of open banking while remaining fully compliant from day one.'
Additionally, the bank adopted Salt Edge's Open Banking Compliance product to meet the UK's stringent open banking standards.
The solution includes a comprehensive toolkit, management dashboards, and a robust third-party provider (TPP) verification system, allowing LHV Bank to prioritise the development of innovative banking products while ensuring regulatory compliance.
LHV Bank product management domain lead Marten Vill said: 'Open Banking is an incredible opportunity but also a technical and regulatory puzzle. Salt Edge helps us solve that puzzle without spending years assembling all the pieces ourselves.
'This way, we can focus on delivering innovative banking services, not just ticking compliance boxes.'
Recently, Dutch digital banking software provider Plumery collaborated with Salt Edge to improve digital banking experiences.
"LHV Bank, Salt Edge, Tuum enter open banking alliance" was originally created and published by Retail Banker International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Designer Debuts Overtake Milan SS26 Schedule & US Tariffs Rattle Brands in This Week's Top Fashion News
Milan Fashion Week, running from September 23 to 29, will feature several highly anticipated creative director debuts for Spring 2026, includingDemnaforGuccion September 23,Simone BellottiforJil Sanderon September 24,Dario VitaleforVersaceon September 26, andLouise TrotterforBottega Venetaon September 28. Later, at 7 pm,Armaniwill celebrate its 50th anniversary on an evening runway at Palazzo Brera — in the heart of Milan's design district. The major milestone for the legendary Italian house will also be preceded by two Emporio Armani shows on September 25. A new trade deal between the US and the EU will impose a 15% tariff on most European goods, a measure that is expected to harm the luxury fashion industry's recovery fromlower sales. This new duty, though lower than the 30% tariff previously threatened by Trump, adds pressure to brands like Gucci,Chanel, andLouis Vuitton, which have already faced a recent decline in consumer demand. With luxury brands having increased prices by an estimated 33% between 2019 and 2023, the new tariff could force them to raise prices further — by an estimated 2% in the US — to maintain profit margins. Some luxury houses are already exploring alternative strategies, such asLVMHopening new factories in the US, to mitigate the tariffs' effect and avoid alienating price-burdened shoppers. adidasis among the sportswear purveyors warning of impending price hikes in the United States, warning that new tariffs could add up to $230 million USD to its costs. The company's CEO, Bjørn Gulden, stated that the tariffs would directly raise the cost of products for the US market and that the company is assessing its product assortment to determine which items will be impacted. While adidas plans to keep prices stable on its well-known models like theSambaandGazelleas long as possible, newer silhouettes are likely to get a price hike. The company is also concerned about how these price hikes will affect consumer demand, especially as other sectors react to similar pressures from trade reforms. Hermèscontinues to defy the luxury slowdown, reporting a 9% sales jump in Q2 2025. While many competitors are seeing dwindling demand, particularly from aspirational shoppers, Hermès' strategy of price increases and maintaining exclusivity has proven successful. TheBirkinbag-maker's sales reached €3.9 billion in Q2, driven largely by its core leather goods division, a category that competitor LVMH is seeing decline in. A global price hike, topped with another 5% increase in the US, is expected to offset the new tariffs. The brand's strong performance, which has led to Hermès's overtaking LVMH as the world's most valuable luxury stock, is attributed to the house's careful approach to production and its loyal customer base. Pharrellhas unveiled a new Louis Vuitton Fall 2026 menswear capsule, a cross-seasonal collection set to hit the shelves in September. The range reimagines the classic 'dandy' through a contemporary, collegiate lens that combines Ivy League aesthetics with a relaxed sensibility. Inspired by university life on both sides of the Atlantic, the collection features an academia-inspired color palette with pops of bold hues and patterns. Outerwear is a key focus for the designer this season, showcasing structured wool blousons, jacquard coats, and camel jackets. The line also introduces new takes on the Louis Vuitton monogram, a tartan-style pattern on flannel and denim, and a reworking of the brand's iconic floral design. American skiing hub, Aspen, Colorado, will be the next location forMonclerGrenoble's outdoor runway presentation. Following up on its March show at the French Alpine ski resort of Courchevel, Aspen will mark the label's first show at a US ski destination. Moncler announced its US-based Grenoble show after its H1'25 earnings report last week, which showed a 1% decline in Q2 revenue, attributed to lower tourist spending in Europe and Japan. While revenue in Europe and the Middle East dropped 8%, sales in the Americas were a stronghold, hence the label's renewed focus on the US. The Moncler Grenoble Fall 2025 show is set to take place on January 31, 2026, at an unrevealed location. LVMH is reportedly in talks to sell theMarc Jacobsbrand for an estimated $1 billion. This potential move is part of a larger strategy by the luxury conglomerate to streamline its portfolio and focus on its most profitable brands amidst a broader slowdown in the luxury market. LVMH's first-half 2025 financial results showed a significant drop in net profit and sales, fueling the decision. Potential buyers for Marc Jacobs, which LVMH has owned since 1997, are said to be brand management firms like Authentic Brands Group, Bluestar Alliance, and WHP Global. This follows LVMH's recent divestment of other contemporary labels likeOff-Whiteand its stake inStella McCartney, signaling a clear shift in the company's business model.

Lina Kahn is taking a victory lap over the Figma IPO
Former FTC chair Lina Khan celebrated Figma's blockbuster IPO in an X post on Friday. Khan nodded to Adobe's planned Figma acquisition that fell apart in 2023 under regulatory pressure. Khan drew criticism in Silicon Valley for her antitrust enforcement in Big Tech. The former FTC chair celebrated Figma's stellar IPO in an X post on Friday, nodding at the larger movement, including her own efforts, to block major tech mergers. "A great reminder that letting startups grow into independently successful businesses, rather than be bought up by existing giants, can generate enormous value," Khan, who led the FTC from 2021 to 2025, said. "A win for employees, investors, innovation, and the public." Figma went public on Thursday, valued at $19.3 billion, and closed at 250% above its asking price, valuing the design company at nearly $68 billion and delivering a windfall to investors. The IPO came less than two years after rival Adobe dropped its planned acquisition of Figma. The Adobe-Figma merger, valued at $20 billion, was called off in December 2023 after facing regulatory pressure from European and US officials. It was part of a larger crackdown on antitrust enforcement that was pushed by Khan, who drew the ire of Silicon Valley thanks to her aggressive stance on antitrust issues, especially in Big Tech. "Figma is a massive success, but it's because of the company's innovative growth and not due to the FTC and Kahn," Dan Ives, a tech analyst at Wedbush Securities, said on Friday. Louis Lehot, a Silicon Valley-based partner at Foley & Lardner who advises on M&A and venture capital financing, said that while the blockbuster IPO was a great outcome for the company and investors, "there's a hint of schadenfreude in celebrating independent success while dismissing the potential upside of the Adobe-Figma merger." "The Adobe-Figma merger was a missed opportunity to pair complementary strengths and unlock broader value. Independent scaling and strategic acquisition aren't mutually exclusive—each can serve innovation and the public, depending on the context," he added.
