CMC Markets selects TrueLayer for open banking-based collaboration

-
Award-winning trading platform will work with TrueLayer to enhance client payments in the UK and Europe.
TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, today announces its collaboration with CMC Markets, one of the world’s leading online financial trading businesses. CMC Markets offers an award-winning, online and mobile trading platform, where clients can trade thousands of financial instruments across forex, indices, commodities, shares and treasuries through contracts for difference (CFDs).
As part of its digital strategy and recognising the opportunity to deliver a superior customer experience, CMC Markets has selected TrueLayer to use its open banking platform to enhance its client onboarding and customer payments. Research by YouGov and TrueLayer has shown that payments heavily influence investor satisfaction. Almost two thirds (64%) of current and prospective investors are more likely to trust a provider that offers instant payments.
Open banking can deliver more efficient and cost-effective processes for investment platforms such as CMC Markets. That begins with improving the onboarding process through enhanced verification returning a result in seconds, rather than days, compared to manual bank statement checks. By pre-verifying customer’s details, it also simplifies payments setup meaning fewer failed transactions.
TrueLayer will also support an improved experience for CMC Markets customers when funding their investment accounts. Instant, secure account-to-account payments remove the need to enter any card or bank account details, using biometrics to authenticate identity and confirm the payment. Real-time payment confirmation also provides CMC Markets with assurance that every transaction has been authorised and customers have the funds available to trade.
Colleen Bohm, Head of Payments at CMC Markets, said: “CMC’s focus on delivering an enhanced investor experience led us to examine what role open banking could play in supporting our digital strategy. That included elements such as verifying customers and delivering more efficient payments. It was important for us to choose a trusted and proven partner, which is why we have turned to TrueLayer.”
Nick Tucker, Head of Financial Service at TrueLayer, commented: “We’re delighted that CMC Markets has selected TrueLayer to deliver open banking-based services in the UK. It’s exciting progressive firms such as CMC Markets embracing open banking and, with TrueLayer, deliver a more compelling customer experience. We look forward to working with the team at CMC Markets to deliver value to their customers.”

Sky Bet fuels football fever with first-ever 3D creative at Wembley Boxpark

Sky Bet welcomed fans arriving to the English Football League (EFL) Play-Off finals at Wembley Stadium with a reactive, dynamic 3D creative spread across Wembley Boxpark – becoming the first brand to bring 3D advertising to the site.
The creative reflected the match day result in real time, changing to depict the winning teams’ logo and colours as soon as the final whistle blew to provide a bespoke backdrop to the celebrations of the fans pouring out of the stadium.
Culminating at Wembley Stadium, the Sky Bet Out of Home campaign followed fans throughout their journey to the final, creating an extensive and impactful matchday experience.
Starting from the teams’ hometowns, the creatives saw the fans off and welcomed them as they arrived at key train and underground stations in London. Fans driving to Wembley could also spot roadside adverts along their routes and at service stations, where club coach trips were likely to stop.
Also, the winning team’s supporters enjoyed celebratory creatives that appeared in their hometown post-match.
The hero site at Wembley Boxpark, which thousands of fans pass before and after games, is at the heart of the activity, living and breathing the match day experience.
The creative reflected pre-game excitement, enabling supporters of both teams to tap into the matchday spirit once the match finished, to enhance the euphoria and give fans a great send-off.
The campaign celebrates ten years of Sky Bet’s EFL sponsorship and is its first 3D activation. The high-impact media plan was booked by EssenceMediacom, Sky Bet’s new media agency. EssenceMediacom played a key role in bringing the campaign to the fans, using its expertise to identify and secure the best sites to target along the fan journey, and working closely with the production team to help ensure testing of the creatives and organising content capture.
Leigh Peacock-Goodwin, Head of Brand and Sponsorship at Sky Bet, said about the campaign: “This high-impact creative is an exciting milestone in our ten-year sponsorship of the EFL. We’re proud to be the first to bring a 3D OOH experience to Boxpark and add a finishing touch to, what is already, an incredible matchday experience for football fans. By offering this reactive real-time creative, we’re able to share those moments that really matter to our audiences, and position ourselves as a brand that understands what football is all about.”
Hannah Cooper, OOH Director, EssenceMediacom, commented: “Getting Sky Bet to the heart of the action was integral to the media plan, and Boxpark is the perfect spot to unveil the eye-catching 3D creative which brings the whole OOH campaign together. As the first brand to leverage the possibilities of 3D at this site, Sky Bet is re-inventing what the visual match day experience looks like, and we are excited to help drive these breakthroughs for our clients.”
Mike Smith, CEO at OPEN Media, said: “In what’s been a campaign of firsts, we are delighted to have worked in partnership with Sky Bet to celebrate the milestone 10 year partnership between Sky Bet and the EFL. As OPEN Media’s first ever 3D Perspective campaign to be activated on our Wembley Boxpark site, the campaign further exemplifies our shared commitment to delivering media innovation, while strengthening our association with prominent sporting events and cultural moments”

Divine treasures await in OneTouch’s God Hand Feature Buy

Leading mobile games studio invites players on a mythological mayhem adventure offering massive wins
Mobile-first games developer OneTouch has released God Hand Feature Buy, a reboot of one of its hottest titles, offering players a chance to pay tribute to the Athenian deities.
In the feature-filled game with no reels or paylines, various coloured orbs are revealed from the rubble of smashed boulders hurled from above by the gods which can award wins up to 100x. With a strike of Zeus’ lightning, the chances of revealing the high paying symbols becomes even greater.
Inspired by Greek mythology, this one-of-a-kind slot game also offers players the chance to be awarded 10 free spins and the opportunity to win up to 15,000x the bet by revealing a golden orb. Massive wins can be achieved in the Bonus Game when the Last Judge Feature is summoned in the players final spin.
The Primitive Men’s Action feature sees mortals on the ground flocking to unbroken boulders, and the longer they swarm, the higher the win potential.
The strike of further fortune is on the horizon when players return to Mount Olympus in the Feature Buy for 262x the bet, instantly triggering the Gold Rush game, whilst a titanic 901x the bet will launch the feature game with an 80% chance of a retrigger.
Loaded with mythological mayhem elements, God Hand Feature Buy offers an exciting journey with massive win potential for all player demographics.
Madis Raus, Head of OneTouch, said: “With God Hand Feature Buy we introduce an enhanced version of one of our all-time favourite titles, offering players the gameplay they know and love but with even more exciting features, a buy option, and higher win potential as they join the Greek gods in this thrilling adventure.”
