SINGAPORE, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Leading online brokerage firm Tiger Brokers (Singapore) has partnered with Wise Platform to unveil its Tiger BOSS debit card, designed with the needs of today’s investors in mind. This is the first debit card in Singapore that enables users to earn fractional shares for every dollar spent.

Mr Ian Leong, CEO of Tiger Brokers (Singapore), said: “We are delighted to be the first company to release such an innovative debit card solution in Singapore. With our deep understanding of the local market, we’ve developed the Tiger BOSS debit card to address the challenges faced by new investors, particularly limited capital. By linking everyday spending with the card, individuals can access pricier stocks without a large initial investment.”

“Furthermore, by offering fractional shares as rewards for everyday spending, we aim to introduce newcomers to investment, and foster awareness and confidence in financial markets. By providing the tools and resources necessary for financial growth, we are committed to democratizing investing and nurturing a generation of informed investors who can navigate the complexities of the market with ease and confidence #LikeABoss.”

Introducing fractional shares as a new mode of rewards

Compared to other reward types like cashback, loyalty points and miles, benefits earned in the form of fractional shares do not have a finite lifespan, with no expiry date or lock-up period, giving investors greater flexibility. Additionally, fractional rewards can inspire the joy of investing, allowing new investors to experience the financial world and its potential rewards through the power of compounding and the accumulation of wealth over time.

With the Tiger BOSS debit card, users can start deploying rewards earned into their investments of choice from the time when a transaction is approved. The shorter duration required to accrue or hold rewards means that investors can free up more capital and make regular investment contributions. This feature is especially useful for consumers who may not want to spend a minimum amount every month to accumulate rewards and reap the benefits only at a later point, as is commonly required for credit cards. 

Invest with convenience

Beyond financial gains, users can enjoy convenience, security and access to a wide range of investment opportunities. Alongside evolving digital lifestyles, more consumers now choose to use digital payments such as contactless cards and online payments to make everyday purchases.

Once activated, the Tiger BOSS debit card can be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay wallets for contactless payments. Fractional shares will also be instantly accrued once users begin to make eligible purchases on-the-go, without having to wait for a physical card to arrive before users start spending. By removing the hassle of making multiple transfers from their savings accounts into their Tiger Trade accounts, users stand to save time and reap the benefits of a seamless digital experience.

Details of approved transactions will be reflected online almost instantly. Meanwhile, rewards scored will be credited to users’ debit card account one working day after the spend has been made.

Invest with Tiger, grow with Tiger

Paired with the rich range of investment offerings and securities on the Tiger Trade platform, such as stocks, options, futures, ETFs, REITs, unit trusts and funds from various global markets, the launch of the debit card bolsters the group’s capabilities to offer an integrated, one-stop platform for users’ investment and lifestyle needs, available at the touch of one’s fingertips.

In addition, users of the Tiger BOSS debit card can take advantage of competitive foreign exchange rates when they spend overseas.

Mr Leong said: “The Tiger BOSS debit card stands as the latest testament to Tiger Brokers Singapore’s dedication to enhancing the local trading experience. As part of the broader Tiger Group, we have been working hard in democratising investing, particularly here in Singapore amongst novice investors for example. Our commitment is unwavering, focusing on the evolving needs of our local retail investors, positioning us as the trusted partner for Singaporeans in managing their wealth. Anticipate more exciting developments tailored for the investing community in Singapore, as we launch additional locally-focused products in the coming months.”

As part of a launch promotion, users who make an eligible transaction using their Tiger BOSS debit card by 30 April 2024 will receive 1% cashback in Tesla fractional shares and receive SGD 5 for every successful referral made. On top of that, users stand a chance to win SGD 888 for every three successful referrals. Terms and conditions apply.

Niutech at the Forefront: U.S.-China Circular Economy Forum Tackles “White Pollution”

Published

2 hours ago

on

September 21, 2024

By

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 6, 2024, the inaugural U.S.-China Circular Economy Cooperation Forum was held in Beijing. The forum, guided by the U.S.-China Climate Action Working Group Circular Economy Task Force, was co-organized by the China Circular Economy Association and the US-China Business Council. The forum brought together approximately 460 distinguished guests from the National Development and Reform Commission of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Market Regulation, the US State Department, the US Department of Energy and other government departments, as well as industry experts, business representatives and scientific research institutions of the two countries. As the domestic leader in continuous pyrolysis technology, Niutech was invited by the China Circular Economy Association to attend the forum and gave an insightful speech on the topic of waste plastic recycling, and the issues of ‘white pollution’ that can result from it.

Enhancing Quality and Efficiency in the Circular Economy with Innovative Forces

The forum was strategically designed to advance the goals outlined in the U.S.-China “The Sunnylands Statement on Enhancing Cooperation to Address the Climate Crisis” (hereinafter referred to as the Sunnylands Statement). It aimed to create a collaborative platform for the business community, social organizations, and research institutions from both countries to foster exchanges and drive tangible cooperation in the circular economy.  

Zhao Chenxin, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the U.S. President on International Climate Policy, Liu Zhenmin, China’s Special Envoy for Climate Change Affairs, Nicholas Burns, U.S. Ambassador to China, and Xie Zhenhua, former Special Envoy for Climate Change Affairs of China, attended the opening ceremony of the Forum and delivered a speech, and Xie Feng, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., made a video message. Deputy Director Zhao Chenxin said that addressing climate change is a common cause for all mankind and cannot be separated from the cooperation between the two global forces, China and the United States.

The China-US Circular Economy Cooperation Forum, held as an initiative to implement the Sunnylands Statement, marked another significant milestone in China-US cooperation on the circular economy. This collaboration is crucial for both nations as they join forces to tackle the climate crisis. On the afternoon of September 6, the forum organized four parallel meetings, where representatives engaged in in-depth exchanges on topics such as using the recycling economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promoting the application of recycled materials, addressing plastic pollution and enhancing recycling, and increasing the recycling value of waste in the context of new industries and consumption patterns.

Niutech: International Experts on Continuous Pyrolysis Technology and Pioneers in solving the global “white pollution” problem

Globally, hundreds of millions of tons of waste plastics are generated annually, yet only about 30% undergo recycling. Traditional physical methods are typically limited to high-value, single-category, and relatively clean waste plastics. However, repeated recycling can degrade the quality of the plastics. Chemical recycling, on the other hand, offers a transformative approach by converting waste plastics into high-value products or fuels through chemical processes, thus overcoming the limitations of physical recycling.

Pyrolysis technology, a cornerstone of chemical recycling, addresses the challenges associated with the material recycling of waste plastics. It is adept at processing various types of low-value, mixed, and contaminated waste plastics. The products of pyrolysis can be further processed to manufacture new plastics, achieving a closed-loop system where waste plastics are repurposed into high-value new plastics. This not only retains the material’s utility at a high level but also converts “white pollution” into a “white oil field,” signifying a major shift in the management and valorization of plastic waste.

At the forum, as the international expert in continuous pyrolysis technology, the corporate representative of Niutech shared the cases of waste plastic chemical recycling projects deployed with international giants BASF and Quantafuel in Denmark, Thailand and other countries. Niutech has developed its own pyrolysis technology and equipment, which they fully own the intellectual property rights to. This technology enables the transformation of low-value, mixed, and contaminated waste plastics—including various polymers such as PP, PE, PS, ABS—into high-quality fuel oil.  

The fuel oil derived from this process can undergo further refining into naphtha, a critical raw material in the production of new plastics. This advanced recycling process not only diverts plastics from landfills and the environment but also contributes to a circular economy by turning waste into a valuable resource.

In the future, Niutech will continue to champion the principle of “green, recycling and low-carbon” waste plastics pyrolysis. Armed with advanced technology, reliable equipment, abundant high-value solutions and proven experience, Niutech is committed to enhancing communication and cooperation with domestic and foreign partners. Together, they will drive forward the chemical recycling of waste plastics and the sustainable development of the global waste plastics recycling industry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) is proud to announce the launch of the GUSI Fellowships Platform, an innovative online platform designed to empower learners around the world to achieve confidence and competency in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). With a holistic, device-independent approach that includes comprehensive evidence-based education, personalized mentorship from world-class POCUS educators, detailed scan review feedback, quantitative assessments, and CME certification, GUSI is setting a new standard in POCUS education.

“GUSI’s online didactics are the best that I have seen. And what I like most about the fellowship were the 1:1 sessions and being able to interact with GUSI expert faculty who have many years of experience in POCUS. And you get to pick their brains and they get to instruct you 1:1. I have used the training I received from GUSI to do much more POCUS clinically and further impact my patients lives.”

Dr. James Wilcox,
Assistant POCUS Director, Indiana University School of Medicine
Adjunct Professor and Assistant Professor of Medicine

“Our mission at GUSI is to democratize access to high-quality ultrasound training,” said Dr. Kevin Bergman and Dr. Mena Ramos, Co-CEOs of Global Ultrasound Institute. “The GUSI Fellowships Platform enables learners from diverse backgrounds to enhance their skills in a supportive, flexible environment, making it easier than ever to reach their POCUS goals.”

With training options covering 38 different scan types, learners can expect personalized 1:1 mentorship with expert POCUS educators who provide timely feedback on practice scans.

“The GUSI fellowship mentors are the best: patient, kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed to obtain and in my home/office environment not requiring multiple trips around the country. It is not just the way course work is presented – learning is made easier by the support provided to each student.”

Dr. Glenda Patterson
Core Faculty, University of Arkansas Northwest Internal Medicine Residency
Physician, Veterans Health Care of the Ozarks
Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, and Critical Care Medicine

The GUSI Fellowships Platform features a scalable software system designed to monitor and track performance, ensuring learners can effectively measure their progress.

GUSI understands the challenges faced by healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their ultrasound skills amid demanding schedules. GUSI addresses these concerns with flexible scheduling options, allowing learners to progress at their own pace while balancing their professional and personal commitments. This adaptability and virtual experience is crucial for fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development.

“I went from not being able to hold the probe to someone who can scan and diagnosing and finding pathologies. I worked with Dr. Milne-Price and she was amazing! She sharpened my skills and we did sessions of live scanning over Zoom. I feel confident in my skills now to scan on my own.”

Dr. Dalea Al-Hawarri
Faculty, Bryn Mawr Family Medicine Residency

As healthcare continues to evolve, the demand for proficient ultrasound practitioners has never been greater. GUSI is not only committed to providing exceptional education but also aims to inspire a new generation of healthcare professionals who can leverage POCUS to improve patient outcomes globally.
