Port Vila, Vanuatu, October 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

Online broker Titan FX has launched the second commercial in its “Dream Beyond Borders 2.0” brand series on 5 October 2026, featuring its global brand ambassador Keisuke Honda.

Titled “Among Dreamers,” the new commercial shifts the focus from taking the first step toward a goal to what comes next — the choices, persistence, and continued effort it takes to keep moving forward.

“Dream Beyond Borders” is Titan FX’s brand platform built around challenging limits and continuing to move forward toward one’s goals. “Dream Beyond Borders 2.0” launched in June 2026 as Titan FX entered the second year of its brand ambassador partnership with Honda, with a three-part commercial series exploring different stages of pursuing a dream.

The first chapter, “The First Step,” focused on the courage to move forward despite uncertainty.

“Among Dreamers” — Beyond the First Step

The second chapter, “Among Dreamers,” looks beyond that first step to people who continue challenging themselves in pursuit of their own ambitions.

The Dreamers featured in the campaign are real people Titan FX has met through its Dream Beyond Borders activities, each with their own background, goals, and challenges. By sharing their real stories and experiences, “Among Dreamers” reflects the idea that taking the first step is only the beginning — the journey continues through the choices and challenges that follow.

Honda himself continues to embody that same spirit. Alongside his activities as an entrepreneur and investor, he has returned to competitive football in Singapore at the age of 40, continuing to take on new challenges as an active player.

At the heart of the commercial is a simple idea: progress is not defined by a single decision or achievement, but by the willingness to keep moving forward.

Through Dream Beyond Borders, Titan FX continues to spotlight people who challenge limits, pursue their goals, and go beyond the boundaries in front of them.

Dream Beyond Borders 2.0 Brand Commercial Series

• The First Step
• Among Dreamers
• Beyond the Frontier

The third and final chapter, “Beyond the Frontier,” will continue the story by looking toward the new challenges and possibilities that lie ahead.

New Campaigns Launch Alongside “Among Dreamers”

To coincide with the launch of the new commercial, Titan FX has also introduced two promotional campaigns for new and existing clients.

The FIRST50 First Trade Cashback Campaign offers new clients up to USD 50 in cashback based on eligible trading activity.

For existing clients, the POINT1000 Titan Points Back Campaign offers the opportunity to earn up to 25,000 Titan Points based on eligible trading activity.

Both campaigns run from 5 October to 15 November 2026.

As Dream Beyond Borders 2.0 continues, Titan FX will keep developing the campaign through real stories and initiatives that reflect the people and challenges behind the idea of going beyond borders.

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs announced the launch of more than 400 cryptocurrency ATMs across the United States. The machines allow customers to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC with cash at a stated flat 5% fee. Customers can also pre-register online before visiting an ATM.

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs, a new nationwide low-fee Bitcoin ATM operator, launched today with an initial rollout of more than 400 Bitcoin ATMs across the United States, a footprint that places it amongst the largest Bitcoin ATM operators in the country on its first day. It also launched with a name that does most of the marketing department’s job for it. The brand charges a flat 5% Bitcoin ATM fee to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT or USDC with cash, displays the fee and exchange rate on screen before the customer confirms, and, as of today, lets first-time customers register online in about two minutes so they can skip onboarding at the machine entirely.

400+ Bitcoin ATM locations on day one

Most Bitcoin ATM operators in the U.S. run a few dozen machines. Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs opens with more than 400 Bitcoin ATM locations in the convenience stores, gas stations and shopping centers people already visit, with machines in Florida, California, Arizona and Texas among other states, as the first phase of a larger rollout.

“Four hundred machines is not a pilot. It’s a network,” said Quincy Mathis, Operations Manager at Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs. “We wanted to be one of the biggest Bitcoin ATM operators in the country on the day we opened, because a low fee only matters if there’s a machine near you. This is phase one.”

Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC with cash: coins, limits and one fee

Every Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATM sells Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) for cash, all at the same 5% fee, all sent directly to the customer’s own wallet. No bank account or credit card is needed. The machines are non-custodial: the company never holds customer funds.

Bitcoin ATM daily limits are set by verification tier:

• Tier 1, phone number only: up to $2,000 per day
• Tier 2, government ID and Tax ID: up to $50,000 per day

Bitcoin ATM fees compared: what $1,000 buys

The typical Bitcoin ATM in the United States charges roughly 12% to 15% to buy, and some of the largest national brands charge 20% or more. Here is what that looks like when a customer walks up with $1,000 in cash:

Illustrative, based on posted percentage fees only and before exchange rate. Many operators add an exchange-rate markup on top of the posted fee; Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs shows both the fee and the rate on screen before a transaction is confirmed. Industry figures reflect publicly reported U.S. Bitcoin ATM fee ranges. See how the Bitcoin ATM fees compare.

At a 20% machine, one dollar in every five never becomes crypto. At Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs, it’s one in twenty. The name is not subtle; neither is a 20% fee.

“We wanted a rate people can look at on the receipt and feel good about, not one they have to make peace with,” said Quincy Mathis. “Five percent, shown up front, with the exchange rate right next to it. That’s the whole pitch.”

Stablecoin ATMs are becoming the way people send money overseas

A growing share of customers are using the machines as USDT and USDC ATMs, buying dollar pegged stable coins to send money to family and friends overseas and to pay suppliers and contractors abroad. A customer inserts cash, the stable coins arrive in the recipient’s wallet within minutes, and the recipient holds dollars they can keep or cash out locally. No wire counter, no multi-day wait, and no bank account needed to send.

That makes the fee gap matter more, not less. Someone sending $1,000 home once a month pays about $600 a year in fees at a 5% machine, $1,440 to $1,800 at a typical machine, and $2,400 at a 20% machine. The difference is real money to the people who can least afford to lose it, which is why low fees matter most to remittance customers.

“The people using stable coins to support family abroad are exactly the people who shouldn’t be paying 20% for the privilege,” said Quincy Mathis.

How to use a Bitcoin ATM: four steps, under two minutes, now with online pre-registration

New with today’s launch is online Bitcoin ATM pre-registration. First-time customers can pre-register online before they ever visit a machine, so the first visit is as fast as the tenth. At any of the 400+ machines, they simply enter their phone number.

1. Register online, once. About two minutes on a phone.
2. Walk up and enter your phone number. The machine recognizes you. No paperwork at the kiosk.
3. Pick a coin, scan your wallet, insert cash. Scan your wallet’s QR code and feed in the bills.
4. Check the screen and confirm. The fee and exchange rate are displayed before you press anything. Crypto lands in your wallet within minutes.

Customers who would rather register at the machine still can. It just takes a little longer, and the company would like to gently point out that it no longer has to. A full walkthrough of how a Bitcoin ATM works is on the company’s website.

Compliance, briefly

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs is a FinCEN-registered money services business, and every machine operates in compliance with federal and state regulations. Customer data is encrypted, and transactions are non-custodial and irreversible. No government agency, bank, utility or tech-support line will ever ask anyone to pay them at a Bitcoin ATM; if someone does, it is a scam. Common questions are answered in the company’s Bitcoin ATM FAQ.

Find a low-fee Bitcoin ATM near you

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs are live now at 400+ locations across the United States, with further phases of the rollout to follow. Customers can find a Bitcoin ATM near them and pre-register at lowestfeebitcoinatms.com. New customers can use code LOWEST at the machine for 20% off the transaction fee, which brings the fee on that $1,000 transaction down to $40.

About Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs

Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs is a nationwide low-fee Bitcoin ATM operator whose initial network of more than 400 machines ranks among the largest in the United States. Customers can buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC with cash for a flat 5% fee, with the fee and exchange rate displayed on screen before every transaction. The company is a FinCEN-registered money services business. Users can learn more at lowestfeebitcoinatms.com.

Fort Lauderdale, USA, October 1st, 2026, FinanceWire

Local payment infrastructure is designed to help marketplaces, gig economy platforms, gaming and esports companies, insurance providers, affiliate networks, clinical research organizations and other enterprises deliver funds through domestic payment rails in local currency

International Payout Systems, Inc. (“i-payout”), a global provider of payment and payout technology, today announced the continued expansion of its true local payment capabilities as part of the company’s broader strategy to help enterprises manage increasingly complex domestic and global payout programs.

For i-payout, a true local payment means funds delivered through domestic payment rails directly to a recipient’s local bank account in the recipient’s local currency — not through SWIFT and not through an international wire.

That distinction is becoming increasingly important for enterprises that need to pay large and geographically dispersed recipient populations across multiple countries, currencies and payment methods.

Marketplaces may need to pay thousands of sellers and merchants. Gig economy and freelance platforms may need to compensate independent workers across dozens of markets. Gaming and esports companies may need to pay players, creators, affiliates and tournament participants. Insurance companies may need to distribute claims and reimbursements, while clinical research organizations may need to compensate study participants across multiple jurisdictions.

Although the use cases differ, the underlying challenge is similar: delivering funds securely and efficiently while supporting different payment methods, currencies, banking systems and regulatory requirements.

i-payout’s payment infrastructure is designed to help enterprises manage those complexities through a configurable technology platform.

Global Reach With a Local Payment Experience

Traditional cross-border payments frequently rely on correspondent banking networks and international wires to move funds between countries.

i-payout’s local payment strategy is designed to provide another path: delivering payments through domestic payment networks in the recipient’s market.

This approach can help create a more localized payment experience for recipients while giving enterprises additional flexibility in how they structure their global payout programs.

“When we say local payments, we mean truly local,” said Eddie Gonzalez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of i-payout. “The payment travels through domestic payment rails and is delivered to the recipient’s local bank account in local currency. It is not simply an international wire that happens to end in another country.”

“Our customers operate globally, but the people they pay live and work locally,” Gonzalez added. “Our objective is to bridge those two realities by giving enterprises global reach while creating payment experiences that make sense in each local market.”

Multiple Payment Options Through One Platform

Beyond local bank payments, i-payout supports multiple payment and payout methods designed to give enterprises and their recipients greater flexibility.

Depending on market availability, program structure and regulatory requirements, those capabilities can include:

• Local bank payments
• Virtual and physical cards
• Digital wallets
• Real-time payment capabilities
• Alternative payment methods
• API-driven payment orchestration
• Recipient onboarding and identity verification

The combination allows enterprises to provide recipients with payment options appropriate to their market while managing those programs through a more unified technology environment.

Supporting Multiple Industries and Payment Use Cases

i-payout’s infrastructure supports enterprises across a range of industries and high-volume payment programs, including:

• Marketplaces: seller, merchant and participant payouts
• Gig Economy & Freelance: contractor and worker payments
• Gaming & Esports: player, creator, affiliate and tournament payouts
• Affiliate & Performance Marketing: commission payments
• Direct Selling: distributor and commission payments
• Insurance: claims, reimbursements and other disbursements
• Clinical Trials & Market Research: participant and research payments
• Refunds & Reimbursements: consumer refunds and corporate reimbursement programs
• Enterprise & Global Workforce: high-volume domestic and international disbursements

“Every industry has different payment requirements, but enterprises increasingly want fewer integrations, greater visibility and more control over how payments are delivered,” Gonzalez said. “Our role is to provide the infrastructure that allows businesses to manage those different payment experiences through one configurable platform.”

Building a More Connected Global Payments Infrastructure

The continued development of i-payout’s local payment capabilities complements the company’s broader investment in regulatory infrastructure, payment technology and compliance.

Earlier this month, i-payout announced the continued expansion of its U.S. money transmitter licensing footprint and advancement of its European Electronic Money Institution strategy.

Together, these initiatives are intended to give i-payout greater control over the payment infrastructure supporting its customers and expand the range of capabilities it can provide as enterprise payment programs grow.

“Global payments should not require enterprises to build a different technology stack for every country they enter,” Gonzalez said. “We are building toward an infrastructure where businesses can manage global payout programs through one relationship while giving recipients payment options that work locally.”

About i-payout

International Payout Systems, Inc. (“i-payout”) is a global payments technology company providing configurable payment and payout solutions for businesses and organizations that need to distribute funds to recipients domestically and internationally.

Founded in 2007, i-payout supports multiple payout methods and serves enterprises across industries including marketplaces, gig economy and freelance, gaming and esports, affiliate marketing, direct selling, insurance, clinical research, market research, refunds and reimbursements, and other high-volume payment programs.

i-payout’s technology combines payment orchestration, recipient onboarding, identity verification, compliance capabilities, APIs, digital wallets and program-management tools within a unified enterprise payment environment.

2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index, produced with nsKnox, shows verification remains the weak link: only 18% of organizations continuously revalidate supplier bank details, and 41% still receive sensitive payment data by email

nsKnox, a leader in B2B payment security, today released the findings of the 2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index, “Why Verification Remains the Weak Link,” produced in partnership with Treasury Dragons, the global network for buyers, specifiers and users of corporate treasury technology. The findings were unveiled this morning in a live Treasury Dragons Masterclass webinar.

Now in its fourth year, the survey of 104 corporate treasury professionals found that 76% of organizations experienced at least one payment fraud incident in the past 12 months, up from 73% last year, and 44% were hit more than once. Two-thirds (67%) expect the risk to rise further over the next year.

Artificial intelligence is making familiar attacks faster, cheaper and far more convincing. More than half of respondents (53%) have faced a confirmed or suspected deepfake-related fraud attempt, most often in multi-channel attacks that pair a legitimate-looking email thread with a voice call, messaging exchange or video interaction. Yet only 44% have formal policies covering AI-related fraud.

Other key findings include:

1. Confidence is outpacing controls. 79% rate their confidence in supplier banking information as high or very high, yet only 18% continuously revalidate supplier bank details.
2. Email is still a front door for fraud. 41% receive sensitive supplier or payment data by email, and only 39% always use secure or encrypted channels.
3. Awareness is high, but ownership is not. 75% rate their fraud awareness as high or very high, but only 39% say ownership of payment fraud is clearly defined.
4. Technology is the biggest gap. 48% do not use a dedicated payment fraud prevention system, and 71% are prioritizing investment in payment validation.

“This year’s Index confirms what we hear from finance leaders every day: the problem is no longer awareness – it’s verification,” said Nithai Barzam, CEO of nsKnox. “When AI lets a fraudster impersonate a supplier convincingly across email, phone and video, any control that relies on these channels becomes part of the attack. Organizations need to validate bank accounts independently, continuously and globally, using authoritative data from the banking system, before a payment is ever released.”

“In four years of running this survey, we have watched awareness climb steadily, but the controls underneath it haven’t kept pace,” said Mike Hewitt, CEO of Adaugeo Media and Founder of Treasury Dragons. “The message for treasurers is clear: confidence should be the outcome of continuous verification, not a substitute for it.”

The full 2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index report is available for download here. A recording of the masterclass, “How Treasury Can Stop Corporate Payment Fraud,” is available on demand at this link.
