Thumb United Combines Presents and Presence to Elevate Consumers’ Holiday Shopping Experience


Thumb United, the first apparel company designed with human connection in mind, encourages consumers to purchase purposefully this holiday season

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Thumb United, a mission-based lifestyle apparel brand featuring premium fashion sweatshirts with multiple interior pockets, inspires consumers this holiday season to shop various apparel products while simultaneously supporting the fundamental need for human connection. Founded in 2015, Thumb United was created in a world that often prioritizes digital connections over face-to-face interactions, Thumb United aims to remind us all of the importance of genuine human bonds.

Last year, almost half of global shoppers categorized themselves as “purpose-driven consumers” who are more interested in purchasing products and engaging with brands that align with their personal values. As consumers increasingly prioritize purpose with their purchases, Thumb United’s products emphasize the importance of mindfulness and human connection amidst the growing social concern of mobile devices being a negative distraction. Thumb United apparel, featuring numerous interior pockets, is designed to empower people to put their phones away and be present in the now.

“We are looking forward to this holiday season as we continue to work towards supporting more authentic and present human connection,” said Brad Dubrowsky, founder and chief creative officer at Thumb United. “When statistics around texting and driving accidents came to my attention years ago, I felt a need to do something. As parents, we want to protect our kids from harm, and I wanted to use my knowledge of the apparel industry to create something that encourages people to be safer and more present with the world around them; in other words, hold a hand, not a phone.”

Key features of Thumb United hoodies include:

  • Apparel with intention: Featuring numerous interior pockets, Thumb United apparel is designed to empower people to put their phones away and be present in the now.
  • Quality you can count on: Thumb United hoodies are manufactured with the highest quality materials available, including two-way YKK zippers, 80/20 cotton-polyester blend fleece material and triple needle overstitch constructed seams. The premium quality of Thumb United apparel is one of the many factors why it has an industry-leading low return rate.
  • Pockets that pay it forward: To support its mission, Thumb United donates 10% of its net profits to organizations that teach and inspire individuals to balance their lives and reduce the amount of time they spend on their phones. Additionally, Thumb United proudly offers discounts to military members, teachers, first responders and medical professionals to honor those in the business of helping others in their communities and around the world.

The amount of internal storage Thumb United hoodies offer makes them ideal for conveniently and safely storing essential items like cell phones, keys, wallets and more. They allow customers access to more storage, protection, warmth, aesthetics and comfort, making the hoodies more functional, versatile and convenient for everyday use, and most importantly, encouraging people to put their phones away.

DPI Labs and INGENIO Aerospace Partner with the Goal of Future-Proofing Aircraft Cabins


“INGENIO’s products greatly complement DPI Labs’ cabin systems. Our goal has always been to offer passengers a positive flying experience that stimulates all their senses, whether through cabin lighting, 4k video solutions, theater-quality audio, or intuitive cabin control,” said Vicki Brown, CEO of DPI Labs. “INGENIO adds even more comfort and convenience to the passenger experience with elegant tablet arms, the very latest in USB charging port technology, and Bluetooth® audio. We are delighted to be able to offer them as part of our solutions now.”

Brown explained that equally as crucial as enhancing passenger experience is developing cabin systems that can stand the test of time or be upgraded and serviced well into the future. “DPI Labs still services, supports, and upgrades our systems from as far back as three decades,” said Brown. “The systems we design and sell today not only include the latest audio-video technology such as Dolby Atmos™ and 4k video distribution and cabin displays, but they have built-in measures to ensure upgradeability in the future. INGENIO Aerospace shares this vision of future-proofing aircraft cabins.”

“INGENIO is approved by Apple™ for both MFi development and manufacturing of electronic accessories,” said James Bell, President and CEO of INGENIO. “When we design USB charging products and portable electronic device arms for aircraft cabins, we are not only looking at the consumer technology available today; we commit to developing for the future.”

Bell noted the recent unveiling of the new Apple iPhone 15 Pro, which uses USB-C technology to charge, as a game changer for consumers, but even more so for the aviation industry. “The fragmented connector market has inconvenienced consumers. However, it’s been a high-cost issue in aviation, where products have been engineered, certified, and installed only to become obsolete in a few years,” says Bell. “The aircraft cabin can now be a completely USB-C-friendly environment, which allows us to fearlessly develop to the technology’s full potential, including high-speed data transfer, audio and video distribution, and increased power output. DPI Labs’ forward-looking approach to designing cabin management, lighting, and entertainment systems is an excellent fit with our strategy, and we’re excited to be working with them.”

Attendees of this year’s NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas can see INGENIO’s products installed in DPI Lab’s demonstration van at booth C12917 in the central hall. The vehicle is provisioned with DPI Labs’ SmartLink™ Cabin Management system, LED Lighting, 32″ display, Dolby Atmos™ theatrical sound system, and INGENIO’s Nano™ USB chargers, as well as two models (Premium and Standard Cabin Tablet Arms) of PED tablet holders.

7 Fintech Trends for 2024


Top Fintech Trends for 2024

#1 AI and ML

“I haven’t seen a single pitch in the last three months without AI or ML,” says fintech banker Dushyant “D” Shahrawat, Director of Strategic Insights & Advisory at Rosenblatt Securities. He insists that rather than just leading on with buzzwords, it is essential that businesses focus on the value they derive and offer to their customers.

With the stunning pace at which AI is taking over operations across industries, its adoption in fintech has become a business imperative. AI technologies are already utilised for marketing and customer analytics and are expected to guide further business decisions going forward.

Generative and prescriptive ML-based analytics will assist in addressing customer grievances, setting financial goals and providing advice on adequate planning to meet these goals. Predictive analytics, leveraging neural networks, will facilitate credit-decisioning and preparing for upcoming industry demands. WellTech, a fusion of wellness and technology to empower users for financial planning in sync with their overall wellness, including financial soundness, is another trend taking shape.

AI-powered cybersecurity and hyperpersonalisation services are also set to transform the fintech ecosystem.

#2 Blockchain and Cryptos

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are nothing new. But their integration into the fintech space will be. The most significant drivers of the adoption of digital currencies are escalating costs and recurrent failures in the traditional financial ecosystem. “As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond, a significant trend is a need for safer, more reliable banking alternatives,” says Uldis Teraudkalns, CEO of payment provider Nexpay. Teraudkalns also emphasises the need to instil resilience in the financial space.

The ability of blockchain to effectively secure decentralised and immutable digital ledgers has enticed the financial industry for over a decade. Now, governments and central banks are exploring CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) to digitise national currencies. This is an attempt to not only keep the financial ecosystem stable, but to assert control amid the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies. This enhanced payment infrastructure is expected to bolster the valuation and demand for fintech companies.

To maximise nascent technology, pioneering solutions will materialise to preserve user privacy, standardise protocols industry-wide, ensure scalability, and frame a clearer global regulatory framework. The EU’s MiCA regulation is a first step in this regard.

While cryptos form the primary component of decentralised finance (DeFi), fintech firms are experimenting to make it more mainstream by expanding their services beyond the digital currency landscape. NFTs, P2P transaction protocols and Web 3-ready infrastructure are propelling the DeFi industry towards greater adoption, enhancing brand value and bolstering customer trust.

Remember: Only 19% of millennials perceive themselves as financially literate. Your fintech marketing strategy for 2024 should focus on consumer-friendly education.

#3 Open Banking

According to Helen Child, Founder of Open Banking Excellence, the explosive rate of open banking adoption correlates with the perception of it being “suitable for a diverse set of use cases” across the financial industry. The UK has developed, and set, a benchmark for open banking implementation with OBIE. The framework is expected to serve as a guideline for nations across the world to follow suit and enable open banking.

Effortless third-party integrations using APIs have made space for open banking, making customer data accessible to third-party providers securely. Open finance has made the ecosystem more transparent and is driving innovation in the competitive fintech marketplace. The segment has created a trillion-dollar growth opportunity for fintech firms as it presents individuals and businesses with the opportunity to gain control over all aspects of their financial lives. This includes savings, investments, loans, pensions and mortgages.

The synergy of diverse providers in the financial ecosystem is a route to bridge gaps between the banked and unbanked, making financial services more accessible and affordable.

#4 InsurTech

Insurtech platforms are digitising insurance processes from application to claim using NLP and RPA. The proliferation of digital currencies and the metaverse may further help insurtech penetrate the digital economy realm as well. The adoption of deep analytics and embedded financial services has taken the shape of real-time digital bundling, bite-sized insurance, sachet covers and embedded insurance to give rise to insurtech. As a result, the industry is projected to expand with a whopping CAGR of 52.7% from 2023 to 2030.

#5 RegTech

Propelled by strengthened regulatory oversight, enhanced customer awareness and a snowballing of cyberattacks, regulatory technology is gaining ground in the financial ecosystem. Advanced security protocols and technologies are set to be adopted to automate compliance and monitoring, ensure data privacy and transaction security, while minimising the risk of breaches, non-compliance and reporting.

Biometrics, quantum cryptography, and other advanced technologies will be leveraged to ensure security. While AI and ML algorithms evolve to enhance prediction, prevention and detection, cybersafety measures will transform security into a proactive approach using vulnerability assessment and preparing for incidence mitigation.

“For the financial sector, investment priorities appear to be in risk management and the use of AI. Inadequate governance, management practices and audit failures are often the cause of failures. Having the appropriate systems and software in place to ensure compliance will be important in 2024,” says Ben Dorks, CEO of software solution provider Ideagen.

#6 Alternative-Lending

Financial inclusion is considered the next phase of growth for the financial industry, providing access to underserved segments. Fuelled by AI and blockchain, the industry is projected to reach $30.16 billion by 2033.

Peer-to-peer lending, crowd funding and digital lending marketplaces will facilitate instant loans, better assessment of creditworthiness and flexible interest rates for retail and institutional borrowers. The sometimes controversial BNPL model will penetrate further and be refined into a more customisable option for instant, bite-sized loans. Technology will serve as a medium of effective underwriting, risk evaluation and management in the intermediary-free, open banking-powered lending ecosystem.

Remember: Fintechs are increasingly embracing CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). “Organizations that are not aligned with millennial and Gen-Z values, risk losing favor with this large and increasingly influential cohort,” says Michele Parmelee, Deloitte Global Deputy CEO and Chief People & Purpose Officer at Forbes.

#7 Customer Centric Finance

One of the most prominent trends for 2024 is bolstering customer engagement with innovative tech. For instance, Entroq Technologies enabled a Gamified Investment Learning platform. In fact, some experts believe that fintechs might introduce NLP-powered voice-to-text features for conversational banking and voice-enabled payments for elevated customer experiences. Plus, AR/VR integrations will expand to make virtual experiential transactions a reality.

Tuvoli and FL3XX Streamline Charter Contracts and Payment with Mobile-Friendly Digital Checkout


“The US charter market is highly competitive. Seconds matter” says Greg Johnson President/CEO of Tuvoli. “Giving an operator’s customers the ability to confirm trips from anywhere with a few taps on their phone improves close rates, which in turn increases top line sales.”

Tuvoli’s digital checkout experience has been available through its charter CRM and sales pipeline management solution since 2021. The Tuvoli checkout process has been fine-tuned through hundreds of millions of dollars in charter bookings and a great deal of customer feedback.

The benefit of this partnership is the ability to deliver a best-in-class checkout experience to charter customers without disrupting the existing, familiar quote workflow for the charter operator. Card capture is PCI compliant, using tokens and a third-party vault, eliminating the common but highly insecure practice of texting or emailing photos of credit cards.

There are no limits on the size of a transaction, total transaction volume or the number of card authorizations (holds) that an operator can process through Tuvoli. Tuvoli’s FDIC insured banking platform has custom tools that aid in matching inbound wires to trips while notifying sales that payment has been received. When a wire is matched with a trip, the system checks for any outstanding holds and will ask the user if that authorization should be released.

Tuvoli’s payment engine makes it easy to send wires, ACH payments, and even paper checks to vendors. When the other party also has an account with Tuvoli, payments are instant and available 24/7/365 (like a business aviation version of Venmo).

“We know that the charter market in America is unique” said Paolo Sommarivia, CEO and co-founder of FL3XX. “Integrating Tuvoli’s digital checkout experience, which has been tailor-made for this market, is a smart move for FL3XX and our growing US customer base.”

The teams at FL3XX and Tuvoli are actively engaged in the integration, with plans for a Q1 2024 release to the market.

Tuvoli’s merchant processing works as a stand-alone product as well, so operators can start benefitting from many of the features while integration is underway.

Both FL3XX and Tuvoli are in Las Vegas this week at the NBAA convention. To see how FL3XX scheduling and Tuvoli checkout work nulltogether, drop by Tuvoli at booth C6821 and/or FL3XX at booth N2325.

About Tuvoli

Tuvoli is private aviation’s financial technology leader. The Tuvoli digital contract and checkout experience increases customer’s sales conversion rates while reducing the administrative burden on sales teams. Tuvoli’s FDIC insured banking platform delivers instant 24/7 payments, intuitive wire transfer features, and tools that streamline matching wires to trips. Tuvoli’s FlyEasy marketplace delivers new sales leads for charter aircraft and Tuvoli’s Everest Fuel business delivers credit for aviation purchases with powerful savings on jet fuel. Together, Tuvoli delivers technology solutions that improve the bottom line for its customer’s.

Portside and Tuvoli Partner to Deliver Mobile Contracts and Checkout for Portside Scheduling Platforms


“Our goal has been to reduce friction in the booking process,” says Greg Johnson President/CEO of Tuvoli. “Giving an operator’s customers the ability to confirm a trip in seconds from anywhere has a direct impact on sales for that operator. They close more deals with less work.”

The beauty in this integration is the significant improvement in the experience for the end-customer without disrupting the existing, familiar quote workflow for the charter operator. Security is also increased since card data is tokenized as it is received and is stored securely for future use.

There are no limits on the size of a transaction, total transaction volume or the number of card authorizations (holds) that an operator can process through Tuvoli. Tuvoli’s FDIC insured banking platform has custom tools that aid in matching inbound wires to trips while notifying sales that payment has been received and releasing a credit card hold if one was tied to the transaction.

Tuvoli’s payment engine makes it easy to send wires, ACH payments, and even paper checks to vendors. When the other party also has an account with Tuvoli, payments are instant and available 24/7/365 (like a business aviation version of Venmo).

“Extending the capabilities of Portside’s offering through strategic partnerships that deliver real value has always been our goal. This integration adds to the many tools and capabilities already included in BART and our other scheduling solutions.” said Alek Vernitsky, CEO of Portside. “We are excited to work with Tuvoli to make it easier and safer for our customers to confirm trips and capture payment.”

Both Portside and Tuvoli are exhibiting at the NBAA convention in Las Vegas this week. To see Tuvoli digital checkout in action, drop by Tuvoli at booth C6821 and/or Portside at booth C9021.
