Irish Fintech Money Jar Announces 100 New Jobs

Today, Irish owned fintech, Money Jar, announced the creation of 100 new jobs to drive expansion of the company in Ireland and across Europe. The highly skilled roles in software engineering, compliance and security, product management and design, marketing, sales, account management and customer support, will enable Money Jar to scale its platform and footprint internationally.

Money Jar met with An Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar earlier today to brief him on the expansion and job creation. Speaking ahead of the meeting, Leo Varadkar said: “It’s fantastic to see an Irish company go from strength to strength and see such success. We’ve worked hard to create a warm and welcoming environment for our tech entrepreneurs and it’s really encouraging to see Money Jar’s ambitious growth plans and their progress to date. I wish the team all the very best with this next stage.”

Commenting on the expansion at Government Buildings today, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Money Jar, Johan Reveillard, said: “The leading-edge technologies that underpin the Money Jar platform are security, functionality, and usability. At Money Jar we have been very adept at harnessing technological innovations to launch new functionality, generate value for the consumer, and shape the competitive landscape. With these new roles, we will continue to challenge traditional financial institutions and their offering, as they will need to invest considerably on top of the gathering wave of financial industry disruption.”

Money Jar currently employs 22 people and has ambitious plans to ensure efficient, convenient, and secure digital financial management for its customers and to develop its services in line with this. John Harkin, Executive Chairman of Money Jar, said: “Money Jar is one of the most diverse and fully functioning neobanks on the market today. The expansion and the creation of 100 new jobs will allow us to further our commitment to promote responsible money management in Ireland and across Europe.”

The expansion plans have been realised with the support of Enterprise Ireland through its High Performance Start Up programme. Jenny Melia, Manager of the Technology & Services team at Enterprise Ireland commented: “Ireland’s reputation for Fintech excellence continues with Money Jar. We are delighted to support Money Jar to expand internationally. It is an ambitious growth strategy, and the employment plans are tangible evidence of the potential of this Irish-owned start-up.”

Founded in 2019, Money Jar is the only Irish fintech to offer an Irish IBAN to enable customers to complete their day-to-day transactions online. It is also the only digital current account to offer cash lodgement through collaboration with Payzone. And, Money Jar can manage cross-border transfers, allowing transactions in several foreign currencies through its partnership with Currency Cloud, a leader in international payments.

Recruitment for the 100 new roles has already begun with a view to 50 jobs being created by July 2023 and 100 jobs by the end of March 2024. The roles will be made available to people not only in Ireland, but remotely across Europe. The lifting of restrictions, coupled with remote working has created a cohort of customers that are digitally savvy. Financial management at your fingertips is more important than ever.

Shannon-based EU Consortium awarded funding to develop Unmanned Flight Ecosystem.

A European consortium coordinated by Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI) in Shannon has been approved by the EU to develop a ‘Digital Sky Demonstrator’, for aerial Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems.

The research project, known as ‘EALU-AER’, will see FMCI and its consortium partners conduct engineering work at the FMCI facility to develop, deploy and optimise Europe’s unmanned flight ecosystem.

The three-year project involves Irish and European partners including Shannon Group, the Irish Aviation Authority, Collins Aerospace (Ireland and France), Dublin-based Avtrain, and Deepblue in Italy.

Work will be based at FMCI’s Advanced Aerial Mobility Research Test and Development Facilities at Shannon, but will include a network of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) routes across Ireland.

FMCI sees this project as ground-breaking new research and a  major vote of confidence in Ireland’s resourcing of advanced air mobility development, and in the industry operators and expertise present locally.

The consortium received a three-year funding award from the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking (JU) to develop unmanned aviation business opportunities in Ireland, in a collaborative research project that will also support modernisation of air traffic management in Europe.

The SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking is a European partnership of private and public-sector entities, established to accelerate delivery of the Digital European Sky through research and innovation.

The new funding will be deployed to build an end-to-end ecosystem that supports safe operation of unmanned flights, to help both conventional and unmanned aircraft safely integrate operations.

“FMCI couldn’t be more pleased to be working with this consortium on the implementation of the EALU-AER programme. This will result in developing and building-out the critical infrastructure to allow advanced air mobility proliferate across Europe.  It will secure access to airspace for large numbers of drones and eVTOL aircraft, resulting in safe, cost-effective and sustainable transport of freight and people in the future” says Russell Vickers, CEO of Future Mobility Campus Ireland.

“This award will help us work with our partners in Ireland to create a new industry that supports safe and connected unmanned flight,” says Boe Svatek, Unmanned Systems Value Stream Leader for Collins Aerospace.

“As a founding member of the SESAR 3 JU, Collins Aerospace is actively and practically supporting its quest to modernise European air traffic management.”

The new research and development will significantly accelerate the advent of the drone and the urban air mobility economy, according to the consortium.

Welcoming the funding announcement under the CEF for Transport programme, CEO of Shannon Group, Mary Considine said:

“This is exciting initiative in unpiloted aviation management.  Shannon Group is delighted to partner on the EALU-AER project and enable this important research and development to take place on the Shannon Campus.  Shannon Airport has been at the forefront of innovation over many decades, and it is essential that we help facilitate and participate in developing the new technology and processes that will allow unpiloted aviation to integrate with legacy airspace.”

Un-manned Aerial Systems (UAS) are expected to have a profound socio-economic impact across Europe, with extensive business, public services and social applications.

Dublin-based Avtrain is Europe’s leading drone pilot and operator training and certification organisation, and is proud to be part of the new industry collaboration, says the Avtrain CEO, Julie Garland.

“We are entering a new era of innovation where the success of the industry will depend on the integration of unmanned aircraft into our airspace, rather than the segregation of airspace.  

“We look forward to working with Collins Aerospace, FMCI, Shannon Group and our partners in the project to move the industry to the next level” the CEO of Avtrain commented.

Funded by Enterprise Ireland and industry partners, the unique FMCI campus at Shannon was selected as home to the unmanned flight ecosystem development project, on account of its state-of-the-art digital framework facilities and facilities, including a recently developed Advanced Air Mobility Hub.

FMCI has already worked with Skyports, Avtrain, Shannon Group and Federal Express trialling freight delivery services using autonomous, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations.

Large enterprises, forced to innovate by supply chain disruption, see costs and complexity ramp up

Two-thirds (66%) of large enterprises globally say they are keeping more stock on hand now compared to the pre-pandemic period, with nearly one in five in total (18%) retaining ‘significantly more’ stock. This growing focus on taking innovative measures to address supply chain disruption is highlighted in new research commissioned by IFS, polling over 1,450 senior decision-makers at large enterprises across France, Germany, Nordics, USA, the UK and the UAE.

Further highlighting the impact of supply chain disruption, seven out of ten respondents polled for the survey (70%) said they had increased the number of suppliers of materials/products they use in response to recent supply chain issues. Moreover, nearly three-quarters (72%) of the survey sample claimed to have grown the proportion of materials/products they source from domestic suppliers as a result of these issues.

Together, these innovative measures are also likely to add more complexity and waste into the supply chain, at a time when increased regulatory burdens (highlighted by 15% as a primary contributor to their current business disruption) and the  need to tap into the many benefits of the circular economy is making supply chain management more complex. In line with this, it is positive that 93% of respondents said their organization was either embracing the circular economy today or planning to in the future.

However, many are facing challenges in terms of delivering on their goals, with around 60% of those saying they are in the process; still developing objectives; yet to plan programs; or have their objectives on hold. Even among those respondents already embracing the circular economy, 23% felt their customers’ circularity expectations were either having no impact on the customer experience or were detrimental to it, although over time the benefits of circularity in delivering a better customer experience are likely to become ever clearer.

So far, as the survey indicates, many large enterprises have re-engineered their supply chain in innovative ways to reduce the risk of this disruption. These include: onshoring to improve security of supply; keeping more stock on hand to make certain they can always meet demand and increasing the number of suppliers they use to eliminate any chance of disappointing customers.

Maggie Slowik, Global Industry Director for Manufacturing at IFS, said: “Large businesses are likely to incur much higher costs and other negative financial impacts because of the measures they are taking to mitigate disruption. Onshoring the supply chain will often lead to having to invest in more expensive raw materials or product components, especially as inflation ramps up, while keeping stock on hand will tie up significant sums that could otherwise be ‘working’ for the business.”

Despite the far-reaching benefits of the circular economy, the need to embrace it is nevertheless a source of disruption for many large enterprises – especially if their equipment and processes are not set up to deal with waste reduction and the re-use and recycling of materials. That’s particularly the case when you factor in the other macro-economic disruption that businesses are continuing to face from COVID-19 to the war in Ukraine.

At the same time, the survey reveals many large businesses are suffering from talent shortages. 65% of respondents say their organizations are finding it challenging to fill open roles, (with a lack of qualified applicants and skilled talent being the most prevalent reasons why), and 39% think disruption relating skills shortages within their organization will last beyond the end of 2022.

According to Slowik: “Businesses urgently need to find a solution that can help them to manage this disruption, which with price volatility is escalating ever further, transition to a circular economy and address the supply chain complexities we are dealing with today. To do this, especially when skills are in short supply, they will ultimately need to invest in technology that delivers the agility and fast time to insight that they need to better forecast demand. By addressing it now efficiently and cost-effectively, they will put themselves in a great position to not only survive but also thrive long into the future.”

The setup is crucial to the use of the gimble, which can involve the use of the App ZY Play in terms of calibration and the mechanical mounting and balancing on the unit.

During this time errors in terms of zzz and axis, often come up. There is little in the way to advise on the messages rather than trial and error until balanced correctly. Again changing a camera when familiar required the balancing to be done, this can be reduced down to less than 5 minutes if used constantly but again take practice and experience to set up.

Once operational the operations are smooth, the button reactive logically, and the app works as expected with the quick mounting screw a real possible allowing for a large range of compatible units from the main brands, Overall a great product for the budding amateur to provide stable footage while on the move.

Future of Bitcoin Trading in the United States of America

When it comes to Bitcoin trading, the United States of America is currently in a bit of a grey area. There is no federal or state-level regulation surrounding cryptocurrency exchanges, meaning that there is no real protection for investors. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The lack of regulation has allowed Bitcoin to flourish in the US, and many believe that it is only a matter of time before the government steps in and provides some clarity.

In the meantime, there are still plenty of opportunities for Americans to get involved in Bitcoin trading. There are numerous exchanges available, both online and offline, that allow users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. The bitql app experience is tremendous. And with the recent surge in interest in Bitcoin, it’s likely that even more exchanges will spring up in the near future.

So, what does the future hold for Bitcoin trading in the US?

It’s hard to say for sure, but it seems likely that the government will eventually provide some clarity on the matter. Until then, American investors will continue to enjoy the freedom to trade Bitcoin without having to worry about regulatory uncertainty.

As the United States of America is one of the most influential countries in the world, the future of Bitcoin trading in the US could have a significant impact on the global market. Currently, there are a number of factors that suggest that Bitcoin trading in the US will continue to grow in popularity.

One of the primary reasons for this is the fact that the US has a very large and well-developed financial infrastructure. This means that there are a number of exchanges and institutions that are well-suited to facilitate Bitcoin trading. In addition, the US also has a very liquid and deep capital markets which provide ample opportunities for traders to profit from price movements.

Another positive factor that suggests that Bitcoin trading in the US will continue to grow is the fact that the US government has been relatively supportive of the cryptocurrency industry. In particular, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has made a number of positive statements about Bitcoin and other digital assets. This provides legitimacy to the industry and gives traders more confidence when investing in Bitcoin.

Of course, it is also worth noting that there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed before Bitcoin trading in the US can reach its full potential. For example, regulatory clarity is still lacking in many jurisdictions. In addition, there is still a lack of mainstream adoption. Nevertheless, it seems likely that Bitcoin trading in the US will continue to grow in popularity in the years to come.

The future of bitcoin trading in the United States of America is shrouded in uncertainty. The country’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has so far refused to approve a single bitcoin ETF. And last month, the commission rejected another high-profile proposal from investment firm VanEck.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope for bitcoin ETFs in the US. In fact, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has been a big proponent of crypto-related products and has even publicly expressed her disappointment with the agency’s decision to reject VanEck’s proposal.

It’s also worth noting that the SEC is currently reviewing several other bitcoin ETF proposals. So it’s possible that one or more of these could be approved in the near future.

At the end of the day, the future of bitcoin trading in the US will largely depend on the SEC’s stance on crypto-related products. If the agency eventually approves a bitcoin ETF, it would likely spur more interest and investment in the digital currency. However, if the SEC continues to reject all proposals, it could discourage companies from even bothering to submit any new ones.

As the popularity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continues to grow, so does the number of people looking to trade them. In the United States, there are a few different exchanges that offer Bitcoin trading. However, it is important to note that the future of Bitcoin trading in the US is uncertain.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been hesitant to approve any Bitcoin-based exchange-traded products. This is because they are concerned about the potential for fraud and manipulation. However, the SEC has said that it is considering approving a Bitcoin ETF. If this happens, it would make it much easier for investors to trade Bitcoin.

Another development that could have an impact on the future of Bitcoin trading in the US is the launch of Bakkt. Bakkt is a Bitcoin futures exchange that is backed by Microsoft and Starbucks.

Lime establishes Irish Disability Advisory Board to ensure safe and responsible rollout of shared micromobility services

Lime – the world’s largest shared electric vehicle company – has today announced the establishment of an Irish Disability Advisory Board ahead of its expected rollout of e-scooter and e-bike sharing services in Irish towns and cities next year.

The Irish Wheelchair Association and the National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI) will be founding members of the board, which will also be supported by local cycling organisations. The group is being established to help ensure that Lime’s for-hire e-scooter and e-bike services are designed in a safe and responsible way, without negatively impacting local residents or visitors with disabilities or access needs. Lime welcomes further applications from relevant organisations to the Board.

John Fulham, Public Engagement Manager for the Irish Wheelchair Association said, “Irish Wheelchair Association welcomes the opportunity to be involved in Lime’s Irish Disability Advisory Board, where we can offer our advice and represent the voice of people with disabilities as the country prepares for the official introduction of e-scooters in Ireland. It is important that the voice of disabled people is heard and represented in the discussions from as early a stage as is possible.”

Lorna Fitzpatrick, Advocacy and Engagement Manager at NCBI said, “NCBI is happy to participate in Lime’s Irish Disability Advisory Board to share our views that are reflective of the experiences of people who are blind or vision impaired across the country. It is of paramount importance that the experiences of people living with sight loss and all people with access and  mobility requirements are heard and considered as Lime prepares to create a presence in Ireland.”

Hal Stevenson, Lime Senior Public Affairs Manager for Lime in Ireland said, “Safety and inclusivity are central to Lime’s services, wherever we operate, so we’re really proud to be setting up our Irish Disability Advisory Board ahead of the launch of our services here next year. Each organisation provides a different perspective, and their insights and opinions will help us to design and deliver services that can have a positive impact across all communities.”

The Board’s first meeting will take place in July and will meet on a quarterly basis thereafter. Minutes and actions will be recorded during each meeting and shared with Lime’s partner local authorities to ensure full transparency and accountability. The group will be consulted ahead of Lime implementing any new products or service changes in Ireland. Lime will also provide opportunities for the Board to collaborate with its pre-existing Northern European Disability Advisory Board.

Following recent delays to e-scooter legislation in Ireland, Lime is expecting to launch services here in 2023. Commenting on delays to the Government’s legislation to regulate e-scooters, Stevenson added,  “the delays to legislation are unfortunate and prevent safer and more sustainable use of e-scooters in Ireland. Lime is using this additional time to work with the policy makers to ensure  that when regulations are passed they are progressive and proportionate, helping to create a future of transport in Ireland that is shared, green and affordable.”
