Digital challenger bank Tandem is partnering
with Personetics, the leading provider of cognitive
banking applications, to harness the power of artificial
intelligence towards its promise of putting the customer first. A
survey conducted by Red Bricks research on behalf of Personetics
shows that 45% of traditional UK bank customers could switch
their current account to an alternative financial institution such as a
challenger bank, retailer, or FinTech company. Customer experience
was cited by consumers as the key driver when choosing their banking
provider – they felt that their finances were better understood, better
guided and better managed by new providers rather than traditional
banks. Powered by Personetics’ Cognitive Banking Brain, Tandem will
provide customers with personalised insights and advice integrated
into the bank’s everyday digital experience. Delivering on the
promise to put customer interests first, these insights are
designed to anticipate customer needs, simplify
money management and help customers
reach their financial goals.

SunPower has announced that 750
kilowatts of high efficiency SunPower E-Series
solar panels are powering three new carports in
Grenoble. The project was led by regional utility GEG, in
coordination with OSER and Grenoble Alpes Metropole, as part
of its PARKOSOL programme. PARKOSOL develops solar carport
projects to serve the greater Grenoble area. “Solar carports make
sense because they provide electricity as well as shade,” said GEG
Production Director, Daniel Besson. “High efficiency SunPower solar
panels were the best choice for our carports because they maximise
electricity output in space-constrained areas and are recognised
for high performance and reliability. The panels are manufactured
sustainably, which enables these projects to meet environmental
standards set by CRE, France’s energy regulatory commission.”
“Compared to conventional panels, SunPower E-Series solar
panels produce 45% more energy in the same space over
25 years and offer the solar industry’s best warranty,
guaranteeing power and product quality for 25
years,” added SunPower Executive Vice
President, Peter Aschenbrenner.
