For customers, this is a direct investment in our product. With it, we’ll be able to invest in making banking even more intelligent and simpler. We will go a step further by making banking even smarter and more personalized for all of our customers through the use of artificial intelligence.
We’re pushing ahead with our international expansion to the UK and US, where we are launching later this year. We can't wait to show you what's coming next. And promise that the best is yet to come.
