TransferMate have today announced the launch of ‘TransferMate Connect’, an integrated payments solution for banks and financial institutions to deliver faster and more cost-effective payments products and services for their customers.
TransferMate has built the largest non-bank payments infrastructure in the world, covering more than 140 currencies and over 200 countries. Through TransferMate Connect, banks and financial institutions can integrate with this network and instantly expand their global reach, giving them the ability to pass on its benefits to their own clients.
Banks and FIs will be able to build new cost-effective, fast, and secure payment propositions, allow their clients to set up trading capabilities in new territories quickly and at low-cost, and create or expand revenue streams generated by the funds moving through the network.
“TransferMate Connect is a single technology providing a global payments gateway for banks and Financial institutions to streamline their exiting multiple correspondent banking systems into one interface” said Sinead Fitzmaurice, CEO of TransferMate. “With our extensive global network and the world-class compliance and security underpinning it all, we believe TransferMate is leading the evolution of how money moves around the world.”
A unique part of the proposition is the ability of banks and financial institutions to also integrate with another TransferMate product, Global Accounts, and again give their clients the capacity to leverage it for their own benefit.
Global Accounts allows users to open local bank accounts in over 30 currencies, creating their own international banking network where they can hold, pay, and store currencies in a way that suits them. It significantly reduces transaction fees and FX costs for users, allows for better control over international cash flows, and exponentially speeds up the ability of a user to set-up a banking presence in a new territory.
“This complete package of solutions is truly innovative, and unmatched in the marketplace” said Terry Clune, Group CEO of the Clune Tech Group and founder of TransferMate. “We’re allowing banks and FIs to immediately create new products and services, or improve existing ones, and put them into market without causing any friction for their clients. I believe it’s going to give them a real competitive advantage in the marketplace.”

A Call-To-Action is a marketing term used to describe the prompt marketers want to give their audience. It directs the audience to take a particular action that is in favor of the marketer. It might encourage sales, conversions, or more visitors. CTAs are added in between blogs, webpages, and advertising messages.
CTAs are critical because that small portion is the only instant you have to convince your audience to take action in your favor. It is a matter of seconds– you only have a few seconds to make that impact. The more convincing your CTA is, the better your open rates will be.
Many organizations also use marketing software to make CTAs for their campaigns. If you are worried about the expense of purchasing marketing software, think about the other benefits that tag along, which will only help your business grow. You can check the Sendinblue price for optimum pricing that suits your budget.
Since CTAs are important, you should know how to frame them efficiently. Here are a few tips to optimize your CTAs for better conversion rates. Follow along!
Keep It Short And Brief
Avoid framing wordy and crowded CTAs. The action that you want your visitors to take should be clear and simple. They shouldn’t have to search for what you want them to do. Complicated CTAs will just irritate and confuse consumers, making your CTA useless. Instead, be clear about what you want readers to do. As a general guideline, it should align with your campaign’s key conversion objective, such as recruiting volunteers or donors.
Personalize The CTAs
Your conversion rate can shoot the roof if you personalize your CTAs. However, if you have the data and utilize it to gently change the phrasing of your CTA, there could be a significant payoff. It does not mean you must spew personal information everywhere, but use personalization in a balanced amount so that they don’t overdo it.
Use Descriptive Text
CTAs using uncertain or unclear language will have lower clickthrough rates. You can do better than just clicking “Submit” or “Click Here!” One of the most annoying phrases for visitors is ‘Subscribe Here,’ which automatically suggests a fee is required. Try “Sign Up for Free Newsletter” instead and watch how the rates rise.
It’s also necessary to explain to users what will happen once they click and, most importantly, what benefits they will receive. Indicate whether the outcome is complimentary. Remind them of the intended use of their donation if they decide to make one.
Make It Stand Out
To be effective, your CTA needs to stand out from the rest of the content on the page. The simplest method to achieve this is to use contrasting colors and have a lot of white space surrounding your CTA. Your CTA will disappear into the background if it has the same color as the rest of your text. Make your CTA text larger and more noticeable than the surrounding text because size also matters.
Don’t surround your CTA with graphics or other distracting things if you want it to be the first thing the user notices on the page. Make an effort to make the design call attention to the CTA.
Play With Placements
A decent rule of thumb is to position your CTA above the fold so that it can be seen in most browser windows without having to scroll down.
Some businesses take advantage of the fact that visitors are significantly less likely to scroll to the bottom of a page and click and place a lead capture form there at the end of lengthy articles. The prospect can click whenever they are persuaded to take action, thanks to persistent CTAs that scroll with users. Be mindful that the line between annoying and persistent is relatively thin. However, you will probably get more actions if you ask for them more frequently.
Conclusion
Your marketing efforts should consistently and steadily include CTA optimization. Even if what works now might not be the ideal strategy in a year, your effort will probably pay off in spades when you observe improved conversion rates.
The latest strategy paper from the Central Bank of Nigeria reveals the importance of creating a legal framework for stablecoins. The country is ready to make the existence of private stablecoins public. The federal government of Nigeria is determined to show the necessity of a legal framework in its quest to be one of the world’s pioneers in adopting its own central bank digital currency (CBDC). The African country’s central bank recognises digital currencies based on the blockchain or DLT as technological and economic breakthroughs.
According to reports, stablecoins will likely become a successful payment mechanism in Nigeria in the coming 3-5 years. The published document outlines the need to develop a framework under the headline “Nigeria Payments System Vision 2025“, an 83-page report. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) accommodates the possibility of stablecoins becoming successful and believes that initial coin offerings (ICOs) also can become a novel method of financing capital projects, crowdsourcing, and peer-to-peer lending. ICOs pay attention to the present regulation and highlight the current absence of rules in the country, causing investors to lose money.
In the published document, the Central Bank of Nigeria noted, “If implemented properly and supported with the right rules and regulations, ICOs could be turned into Financial Instruments and Investment Options, creating a new way to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and raise capital.” The country is regarded globally as one of the leaders in pushing to integrate its central bank digital currency (CBDC) into the national economy. The need for regulation for ICOs is also included in the report paying attention to the unavailability of regulation in the sector.
Nigeria’s innovation plan
The Central Bank of Nigeria also acknowledges that digital currencies built on the blockchain or distributed ledger technology are technical and economic innovations with the potential to enable value transfer to be made quickly and inexpensively without the need for third-party involvement. According to the report, the bank plans to continue watching briefs on Initial Coin Offerings and work with the Security Exchange Commission to develop a regulatory framework in case of an ICO-based investment solution.
The CNB will explore whether or not API integration on CBDC is applicable because innovations have the potential to improve operational efficiency, simplicity, trust, and customer experience. The bank aims to continue doing its research, anticipating that full implementation of the currency is possible within the next three to five years. In an attempt to push its cash-less policy and increase the use of the eNaira, insiders from Bitcoineer Official claim that in December 2022, the Nigerian government reduced the amount that individuals and businesses can withdraw to $225 and $1,125 per week, respectively. Since the outcry from Nigerians, they have increased the limit. Since its launch in 2021, eNaira adoption has been low. According to a report by Cointelegraph, the CBN has struggled to influence Nigerian citizens to use CBDC. Less than 0.5% of the population reported using the eNaira as of October 25, 2022.
Several economists condemned the central bank’s intention to develop a regulatory framework for adopting stablecoins for economic improvement, saying that it needs to be more accurate in looking at the failure of the e-naira after its incorporation into the economy. However, TechNext explained how stablecoins could help Nigerians hedge against the failing economy in a detailed report from 2022.
How can Nigerians benefit from the stablecoins regulatory framework?
The stablecoins regulation framework will likely encourage more Nigerians to buy digital assets. Purchasing stablecoins against currencies considered more vital than the Naira could be an advantage. Since there is no hope for Naira’s rise against the US dollar, it is best to save in stablecoins like USDT as it is projected to stay strong, unlike the Naira, which keeps losing value. Stablecoins do not look at national borders; it allows users to send a transaction to someone abroad instantly with low fees. It also offers transparency as it uses blockchain technology, where every transaction stored can be viewed by anyone. To save in USDT, an individual or business is not required to have millions; stablecoins can be purchased for as little as N5000 or less on peer-to-peer platforms.
The bank also promised to collaborate with industry stakeholders to identify prospective use cases, deadlines, and implementation techniques for potential solutions for remittance using blockchain technology. The Central Bank of Nigeria views this process as a way to reform the country’s economy. The government also plans to watch Potential Smart Contract solutions in other regions to develop valuable solutions and techniques. As we congratulate Nigeria on its plan to create a legal framework and ICO, we promise to keep you informed on any latest information regarding this topic. This article is informative and should not be used as legal advice.
The Skullcandy Dime 2 are one of the latest new products that are in a collab and this collaboration is with Doritos and whilst they might look and feel the same as the Dime we last reviewed there is some differences here but other than that they sound identical to the Dime and look identical apart from the UV reactive light which I have no lamp to test but you can see how they work with their own video, there is a difference between glow in the dark and UV reactive light for those who do no know.
There is no access to their app this time around which I found odd when they have Tile built in which is hand being such a small earbud but they have the rest of the features you would come to expect from Skullcandy. They fit well and block out plenty of the outside world and stand out even being so small with the colour.
You again have the basics when it comes to controls on the earbuds albeit small and if you have big fingers you may struggle a bit until you get your muscle memory in order, you can skip and reverse tracks, play and pause music and change the volume which is enough for most people and you can control calls.. There is one button on each earbud that controls the lot keeping it simple.
Overall these are an inexpensive pair or earbuds rejuvenated but sound good and give more than enough and great value for money, check out the video review below for a full hands on.
At this point it is safe to say almost everyone crypto investors has heard of the Shiba Inu token. At this point it is known for its massive gains and does not look like it’s quieting down anytime soon. ShibaSwap is a native decentralised finance (DeFi) platform featuring a decentralised exchange (DEX) of the Shiba Inu coin. ShibaSwap project was launched with the ambition for it to be more than just a meme altcoin.
The ShibaSwap project was launched in July 2021, and designed to be easy to use while offering a wide range of features to satisfy even the most demanding traders. This platform allows its users to task their assets with a variety of different functions in order to earn income. ShibaSwap consists of three tokens that work in synergy to create a liquid, profitable and secure ecosystem without a single or central authority. If you want to see the true potential of ShibaSwap here is everything you need to know about the sibling tokens in detail. The primary tokens are Shiba Inu (SHIB), Doge Killer (LEASH) and Bone (BONE).
ShibaSwap primary tokens
Shiba Inu (SHIB)
SHIB is the heart of the exchange which is a Dogecoin-inspired memecoin created in August 2020, by a founder using the pseudonymous Ryoshi. The mascot of Shiba Inu is SHIB which runs on the Ethereum blockchain, providing maximum safety and functionality to its users.
According to reports SHIB has approximately 549 billion coins in circulation. SHIB started with nearly one quadrillion authorised coins, and then in May 2021 40% of the coins were burned by the co-founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin.
Doge Killer (LEASH)
As the name says it Doge killer (LEASH) is an incentivised token in the ecosystem, initially planned to overtake Dogecoin the most popular puppy-themed cryptocurrency. LEASH is a rebase token which is similar to stablecoin with prices controlled by an algorithm which keeps their price pegged to other assets. This algorithm ensures that LEASH prices are always larger than Dogecoin at any given time and since it has been de-pegged from DOGE it is now more of a store of value all because of very limited total supply.
Bone (BONE)
Bone serves as the governance aspect of the ShibaSwap ecosystem. Enabling users to propose and vote on changes to the ShibaSwap protocol through the Shiba Inu Doggy DAO. It is said that everybody who owns a governance token holds voting power on future decisions. Bone is considered as the democratic way to operate a network which allows its users to vote on initiative.
Trading rewards in ShibaSwap
LEASH and Bone have the highest trading volumes and order book depths. In the ShibaSwap ecosystem there are four ways to earn rewards: Dig, Woof, Bury, and Burn Portal. Traders can simply just hold SHIB or LEASH until their values appreciate but in doing so they are sacrificing the full potential of these assets. Here is a detailed explanation of how each reward functions.
Dig
When traders dig they are doing a great service to the platform by providing the platform with the liquidity necessary to fuel each and every transaction on the exchange. ShibaSwap is earned through a liquidity pool. When you dig SHIB, Leash and Bone you receive your token back as a ShibaSwap Liquidity Protocol (SSLP) version of the asset. Every user who locked their SHIBA tokens in the Dig pool receives free BONE tokens and the rewards percentage depends on how many SHIB tokens one locked in the pool. The user can redeem their Bone tokens when they want.
Woof
Woof is also called a yield farm pool which allows users to exchange their BONE rewards with each other by swapping their SSLP tokens. Users are only allowed to redeem one third of the rewards instantly but need to lock the rest for six months.
Bury
Users can stake their three coins into ShibaSwap pools for a specific time frame to earn high-interest rates. Pools distribute rewards weekly but users are allowed to claim one-third of the amount while the remaining sum will be locked for six months. Users receive representative tokens that the users have staked; it can either be xSHIB, xLEASH or tBONE.
Burn
ShibaSwap allows its users to voluntarily burn their SHIB holdings, in simple terms burn means to permanently remove them from circulation by sending them to a wallet they can never be retrieved from. ShibaSwap has introduced a new burning mechanism that rewards its users who burn the protocol’s native SHIB token allowing users to dispatch SHIB tokens to a dead wallet address and in exchange and then finally ShibaSwap sends RYOSHI tokens to them.
The ShibaSwap exchange allows users to exchange or swap tokens for other tokens, users can also exchange a single asset for multiple other assets, – depending on the value it holds. Doggy DAO is the governance system that runs the whole ShibaSwap ecosystem. The decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) grants users a stake in the Woof liquidity pool, as well as the right to vote on certain issues.
About NFTs
ShibaSwap offers its own non-fungible tokens (NFTs) called Shiboshis, where minting, customisation and trading are enabled in the ShibaSwap. These NFTs are probably going to be part of the gaming project called the Shiboshi Game which will feature roughly 10,000 pieces of the Shiba Inu mascot cartoons. Shiboshi holders can customise their Shibashis to add value to the NFT while giving the game certain unique properties.
ShibaSwap Analytics or what others may call Bonefolio is an analytics page where historical staking data, trading data and ROI information can be found. This is where burn and mint amounts are found together with transaction fees. Bonefolio also has a portfolio tracker where users can easily keep track of their yield rewards.
How to use ShibaSwap?
Before going into details users need to know that ShibaSwap has three compatible crypto wallet services offered by the platform experts at Bitcoineer mentioned Metamask, Coinbase Wallet and WalletConnect. When setting up a crypto wallet users need to be aware of their private key and the deposit. The private key allows users to access their account and if lost users lose access to their account and all the tokens in it. Every transactional deposit made on the Ethereum network is measured in Gwei. The moment that a user is done setting up a wallet and depositing some ETH, they can convert it into SHIB, BONE or LEASH tokens. This can be done by using the Swap feature on the ShibaSwap website.
ShibaSwap is not subject to the same regulations as centralised exchanges (CEXs) as it is a decentralised exchange (DEX) hence making them more secure as they are not as susceptible to hacks. It is advisable to do your own research in order to make informed decisions about whether or not a platform is right for you or not.

Sony has announced two new headphones – the WH-CH720N and the WH-CH520 – giving music lovers the option of on-ear or over-ear wireless headphones packed with Sony’s critically acclaimed audio technology.
The over-ear WH-CH720N wireless headphones incorporate Dual Noise Sensor technology and Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 chip to provide noise cancelling. In addition, a lightweight design and up to 35 hours of battery life let you enjoy music for longer without background interruptions.
The on-ear WH-CH520 wireless headphones provide up to 50 hours battery life with all day comfort and enhanced call performance to meet the demands of your day. Plus choose from four colours – black, blue, white and beige – to match your style.
Both models also feature Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) to produce high-quality sound exactly as the artist intended as well as Multipoint connection for easy connectivity between devices.
All day comfort, without the noise
Whether you’re flying long-haul or relaxing in a café, the over-ear WH-CH720N headphones deliver Sony’s advanced noise cancelling performance thanks to the Integrated Processor V1 chip and Dual Noise Sensor technology, so you can enjoy more music and less background noise.
The Integrated Processor V1 helps eliminate external sound, with a low processing delay to make the noise cancelling more effective than ever. The WH-CH720N also features two microphones in each earcup which, coupled with Dual Noise Sensor technology, captures ambient sound. This lets you block outside noise everywhere you go, so the only thing you hear is your music.
Plus with the Sony| Headphones Connect app, you can adjust the ambient sound across 20 different levels for when you’re on the move.
Stay comfortable, however long you listen
You’ll never need to take a break from your favourite music with the WH-CH720N. The over-ear headphones are ergonomically designed to be comfortable for even longer periods.

Superb sound for every song
Enjoy natural vocals, crystal clear sound and balanced tuning on both the WH-CH720N and WH-CH520 Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), producing a high-quality sound exactly as the artist intended. When the original music is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add details and richness to a track. Sony’s Digital Sound Enhancement Engine faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that’s closer to the original recording.
The Integrated Processor V1 included within the WH-CH720N also produces an authentic listening experience by reproducing the detail in your music with minimal distortion. The sound tuning is intentionally designed to be well-balanced from low to high frequencies with natural and clear vocals.

The national finals of the 2022 VEX IQ Robotics Competition supported by Dell Technologies and Munster Technological University (MTU) took place today in Cork with over 170 primary school students from across the country bringing STEM learning to life by taking part in a game-based engineering challenge to design, code and build robots.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the VEX Robotics Competition in Ireland. Since its introduction in Cork the competition has expanded nationwide with over 250 primary as well as secondary students from all corners of Ireland this year engaging in STEM at the earliest opportunity.
Supported by Dell and MTU, the robotics challenge provides students with a fun, hands-on opportunity to build and programme robots in teams and face off with other competing schools across the country. Team members from Dell volunteer their time to support the VEX Robotics Competition.
Out of the 250 participating students in this year’s VEX IQ Robotics Competition, 24 schools qualified through to today’s final where teams competed for a spot at the global VEX Robotics Competition in Dallas.
The VEX IQ Robotics Competition begins in the classroom each year, with school children across Ireland working from September to December with their teacher to design, build and programme a robot. This process is assisted by members of the education community, local councils and industry stakeholders who collaborate and support the schools in the preparation stages of the competition.
Through their participation in the programme, students learn many technical skills, including robotics, engineering, design, programming and coding, but also skills and knowledge in other areas such as teamwork and financial planning.
Commenting on the final instalment of this year’s competition, Bob Savage, Vice President Regional CIO for EMEA and Cork Site Leader, Dell Technologies Ireland, said:“STEM learning is central to inspiring the next generation of developers and engineers whose skills will help shape our future as an innovation island. That’s why our team at Dell have come together with MTU to support the national finals of the VEX IQ Robotics Competition in Cork. As we celebrate 10 years of the robotics challenge in Ireland, we are proud of our long-standing partnership with VEX which provides young people with a fun way to engage in technology and foster their creativity. I want to congratulate the finalists and all the studentswho put on a powerful demonstration of their problem solving and computational skills at this year’s national finals.”
This year, the programme encouraged students to look more closely at the world around them through a STEM project with the theme of ‘Mathematics in Nature’ leading students to explore many varied applications.
The smartwatch is today for some seen as an expensive companion device which is true to one extent but over the years they have come down in price and more brands to sell them alongside their smartphones, For example I have my original Moto 360 which was my first smartwatch and now I have the Apple Watch Series 7, Pixel Watch A Galaxy watch 4 and several other cheaper brands that all cost less than 100 euro which this one does but this one has features none of those sub 100 euro watches have and even more expensive watches and two stand out features is a speaker to take calls and a voice assistant and also has GPS tracking.
OK so the thing here is this is a generic watch we have seen before and the software to go with it but it is kept simple and everyone wants something different and that is life, it may have some restrictions as to what you can do overall however for the price it a seriously decent watch to get you started of you do not own a smartwatch and do not want a convoluted mess of submenus or set-up this is one watch you should look at and in fact we have done several similar styled watches here before which you can find in the search option.
We go through the set-up the app and all that good stuff in the video review below so you will see what this entails in comparison to other watches out there today, most people today opt for fitness trackers and these are cheaper etc but do not offer the full suite expected on a fully fledged smartwatch and this watch is kind of offering both here which is a good thing.
The watch is a solid build with an IP67 rating and comes with two straps it is not a cheap plastic watch which is often the case at this price point too and stellar battery life it does lots of fitness activities has a huge selection of predefined watchfaces and measures the most important health features and is pretty accurate after comparing to other smartwatches I own.
Check out the video below for more and see how the speaker sounds the calls sound and how it works in general as it is a better view of what this offers for the price. For me it is a great watch to get started and overall a great watch to use and the only place it lacks is on replying on the watch itself but as for the rest it is fine, notifications come through they are a simple line of text and not detailed like more expensive watches but still gives you control at a glance whether or not you need to pick up your phone and one thing for me with smartwatches is they do keep you off your phone and today that is probably a good thing as we spend to much time on them.
