SINGAPORE, Nov 15, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - While most credit cards offer common benefits like fraud protection, they may differ based on their features and benefits. Before applying for a particular credit card, it's helpful to understand the different types of credit cards and how they work. Explore the different types of credit cards below.Travel Credit CardsTravel credit cards offer opportunities to earn and/or redeem rewards against travel purchases. For example, the Citi PremierMiles Card lets cardmembers earn 1.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent locally and 2.2 Citi Miles for every S$1 spent in foreign currency. Enjoy two annual complimentary airport lounge visits and get up to S$1 million in insurance coverage. While the exact benefits of a travel credit card may vary, travel cards provide exceptional value for people who travel often.Rewards Credit CardRewards credit cards help cardmembers earn points with every swipe and are an excellent choice for people who want more from their shopping experiences. Some rewards cards offer points with every purchase, others offer bonus rewards when cardmembers shop from categories like fuel, groceries, dining, entertainment, etc. The Citi Prestige Card earns rewards on all local and overseas spends and offers premium experiences like lounge access, golf privileges, concierge services, complimentary night hotel stay worldwide and more.Cash back CardsCash back cards provide cardmembers cash rebates on eligible transactions, making them a great option for people who prioritize savings. Some cash back cards allow redemption through shopping vouchers while others allow cardmembers to apply cash back toward credit card bill payments. Citi offers four different cash back credit cards that offer a range of benefits suited to different lifestyles and preferences. This includes the Citi Cash Back+ card where there is no cap on cash back earned and cash back earned does not expire.Business Credit CardsCorporate or business credit cards are created to simplify payments for businesses. They help business owners create a separate line of credit for their company, enable fast and seamless payments, and offer rewards like points or cash back. Business credit cards can help with expense tracking and management while offering exclusive privileges and deals to cardholders like complimentary travel insurance and corporate liability waiver insurance. Citi offers three business credit cards that offer exceptional benefits and discounts on restaurants, travel bookings and more.Student Credit CardStudent credit cards offer young adults the chance to build credit and enjoy great deals. The Citi Clear Card has no minimum income requirement and allows cardmembers to earn rewards on every purchase and enjoy the safety of secure transactions. Student credit cards are one way for first time cardholders to learn how credit works, make the best of rewards programs like ThankYou rewards, and get an array of discounts through Citi World Privileges.Choosing the right credit cardRemember that it's vital to compare credit cards to properly identify the best fit. Here are a few things to consider before applying for a credit card:Benefits and rewards: Aspiring cardmembers should identify areas where they spend the most and find a credit card that rewards those purchases. Bargain hunters can prioritize credit card rewards programs that favour spending on fuel, groceries, entertainment, and dining. Adventurers and business travellers may travel often enough to justify a travel credit card to earn miles and get airport lounge access.Fees and interest: Credit cards carry annual fees, and premium cards may have higher fees than basic cards. Usually, the annual fees will give additional perks back to the customer in the form of points or miles. Card applicants should be informed about fees and charges before applying for a card.Reward complexity: Many cardmembers miss out on opportunities to redeem their points because they don't understand the redemption process. A complex rewards program with category-specific benefits or many redemption rules may not be for everyone. A simple program with no minimum spends and a flat cashback rate on all or most purchases is ideal for many people. It's also important to understand when rewards expire.The right credit card can make purchases and payments easier and more rewarding. But it's important to consider the pros and cons of credit cards, carefully read the terms and conditions, and consider individual needs before making a suitable choice.Citibank SingaporeCitibank Singapore offers consumers and institutions a range of financial products and services, including consumer and investment banking, credit cards, and personal loans.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90)(the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has closed its previously disclosed transaction, pursuant to which 1509149 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, amalgamated with 1458205 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target") such that the Company has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the amalgamated entity (the "Transaction").In connection with the Transaction, the Company issued 10,000,000 Common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Company Shares"), at a deemed issuance price of $0.56 per Company Share, to the shareholders of the Target. Previously, it was contemplated that the Company would assume the Target's obligations in respect of 3,499,997 share purchase warrants, which were to become exercisable into Company Shares on closing, however the parties to the Transaction have amended the terms, and such obligation is not being assumed by Military. The Company Shares issued are not subject to resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws.About the Projects:The Transaction results in the Company acquiring three mineral exploration projects in Slovakia, being the Trojarová antimony-gold project, the Tiennesgrund antimony-gold project, and the Medvedi tin project. It is the intention of the Company to produce a technical report under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") in connection with Trojarová. The Company also intends to file a Business Acquisition Report for the Transaction in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities laws.About the Trojarová Antimony-Gold ProjectAs first reported in the Company's news release regarding Trojarová dated October 30, 2024, discovered in the late 1970s Trojarová was the focus of extensive surface and underground exploration from 1983 to 1995, with 63 core holes completed for a total of 14,330m, along with 1.7km of underground development starting in 1990, ultimately comprising a 300-meter-long adit connected to a 700-plus meter-long drive in the footwall of the mineralized zone with seven crosscuts into the mineralized zone for sampling purposes. These efforts culminated in a multi-volume study comprising drill logs, analyses, drill plans, maps and sections, deposit model studies, petrographic studies, metallurgical studies and more, culminating in a multi-volume compendium of reports produced by the Slovak Geological Institute published in 1992. The historical estimate at Trojarová was classified using the Slovak version of the newly post-Soviet Russian classification system, which is not directly comparable to or compatible with the western system as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroluem ("CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves"). The Slovak Geological Institute, the State agency that carried out all exploration and underground development work at Trojarová, classified the resource as "P1" in the Slovak version of the Russian classification system. P1 is closest within the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum's ("CIM") classification system to "Inferred Mineral Resources," which is defined by the CIM as that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.The 1992 Report contains a table featuring ten alternate historical resource estimates, five focused on the antimony component of the mineralized system and five on its gold component, each group of five featuring decreasing tonnage at increasing grade for antimony and gold, respectively. This table is shown below.Historical alternate resource estimate scenarios for Trojarova(source: Michel et al, 1992)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_001full.jpgUpon completion of the Amalgamation, the Company will move forward to verify this historical estimate through a program of confirmation drilling so that it is able to classify mineral resources at Trojarová as current, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/230288_a61f2007c4ec68b4_002full.jpgInvestor Relations Engagements:The Company further announces entry into agreements related to marketing and investor relations.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 14, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") is pleased to announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Amador Mining LLC, to acquire the past-producing Last Chance (aka Wall Canyon) antimony-gold property ("Last Chance" or "the Property"), located in Nye County Nevada.The property is located 18km (11 miles) due west of the Round Mountain Gold Mine, and is accessible by road NF-157 that runs west from Highway 376 into the Toiyabe National Forest. The nearest town is Tonopah. The elevation at the historical mineshaft on the property is just under 8,000 feet above sea level. Prospecting for gold in the area - the Jett Mining District, dates back to the 1870s, leading to the discovery of the Last Chance historical antimony mine. First recorded production of antimony was in 1915 with mining activity recorded throughout both World War One and Two and then in 1957-58, as well. Mostly gold-focused exploration work by the United States Geological Survey and Nevada Bureau of Mines during the 1980s further documented antimony and associated gold mineralization in the area, leading to the development of a small (historical) low-grade gold resource.Historical mining and drill data indicate that antimony mineralization is both structurally and stratigraphically controlled, hosted in faults and receptive carbonate units, in quartz veins that crosscut gold-mineralized zones indicating that it is part of a younger mineralizing event. Dikes of serpentinized ultramafics are known nearby although this relationship may be more rheological versus metallogenic (exploiting the same structures), given what is known about the age and metallogenesis of epithermal gold deposits in the region.Military plans a program of detailed surface mapping and sampling upon which a drilling program to test the full potential of the system will be undertaken. The Company plans to enter a definitive purchase agreement within 30 days, and has provided a $10,000 USD exclusivity deposit to the seller. The pending acquisition includes the past-producing mine and covers 5 unpatented mineral claims for total compensation of $45,000 USD and includes a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR").The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E. Howard, MSc, PGeo, geological consultant to Military Metals and a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/229931_a9822e8c04a2183d_001full.jpgAbout Military Metals Corp.

SEATTLE, WA, Nov 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN), FCCN Spectral Capital's Chairman, Sean Brehm shares insights into Spectral’s DQLDB and The Vogon Cloud. Spectral Capital Group a leading innovator in decentralized cloud technology and advanced quantum ledger solutions outlines its vision for Spectral’s Vogon DQLDB with Plato Data Intelligence's Bryan Feinberg.Bryan Feinberg: Sean, I saw your post on X about Vogon DQLDB and its potential to transform financial systems. You mentioned the importance of human identity at the heart of commercial and capital markets. Can you explain what drives this visionSean Michael Brehm: At the heart of every market transaction is human identity—the sum of each individual’s daily contributions to the commercial world. This goes beyond financial exchanges; it’s about our choices, our interactions, and our values reflected in the economy. Our Vogon DQLDB is built with this central idea: each person's activity—whether buying, selling, or investing—is a piece of a larger narrative. By indexing these contributions using MSCI’s GICS standards, we categorize each transaction into primary, secondary, and tertiary subindustries, which provides a transparent, honest representation of our roles in the market. This kind of system gives people credit for the economic impact they bring.Bryan Feinberg: So, if I understand correctly, Vogon DQLDB is like a giant record-keeper that recognizes each person’s economic actions—whether I buy coffee, invest, or sell a used phone—as meaningful contributions. It tags each action to specific industries, showing that each of us is part of the economic story. Does that mean we’d all have a role in the markets beyond just being consumers Am I understanding that right, SeanSean Michael Brehm: Each transaction you make isn’t just about the money; it’s about showing your unique place and contribution in the economy regardless if you are in Boston or Botswana. By tagging actions to sub industries, we’re essentially writing a story where every participant is an author, making the market more inclusive and giving a clear picture of everyone’s impact. You’re not just a consumer; you’re a contributor to the system’s transparency and stability. Today your data is sold to others that do that and you don’t get any of the credit. Moving forward you remain the custodian of your data, meaning you control how it’s accessed and used within the system.Bryan Feinberg: You mentioned that this indexing could make Vogon DQLDB a modern version of the Buttonwood Agreement, returning transparency to the markets. How does that transparency affect market stability and honestySean Michael Brehm: Our team is passionate about returning global markets to the transparency that the Buttonwood Agreement symbolized back in 1792. Back then, agreements were based on mutual accountability and a shared framework. By indexing each person’s contributions and categorizing transactions transparently, Vogon DQLDB restores a sense of trust. It shows how individual contributions make up the foundation of commercial and capital markets. This visibility helps create a more stable system, where people know their daily actions, large or small, are recorded and valued. It’s a fundamental shift back to the ethos of fair and open markets.Bryan Feinberg: This sounds like a fair trade simplification engine where people could see the full picture, with everyone’s contributions kept out in the open, so it’s clear how they matter. Would this make it harder for anyone to ‘game’ the systemSean Michael Brehm: It is all about fair trade and putting the human identity where it belongs: At the center of commercial and capital markets. Just like in the original Buttonwood Agreement, people would understand how their actions impact the system and trust that they’re being accounted for honestly. By making everything visible, we’re closing loopholes that might allow manipulations, making it easier for everyone to see the real, fair value of their contributions. Additionally, Vogon DQLDB employs advanced data encryption to protect individual data, so each person’s data is secure while remaining visible for regulatory and systemic oversight.Bryan Feinberg: Indexing transactions with the GICS standards is an innovative idea. Can you explain how this process works within DQLDBSean Michael Brehm: When someone makes a transaction, Vogon DQLDB automatically categorizes it according to MSCI’s GICS standards, tagging it to a primary, secondary, and tertiary subindustry. This indexing means that every action—sale, investment, or trade—gets transparently attributed within the market. DQLDB essentially creates a ledger transaction and a transparent, user-owned database organized as coalitions, where the impact of each transaction is visible and accountable. Individuals maintain custodianship over their data, meaning they can access, review, and even limit how this data is used in certain contexts. Their identity is protected by post quantum cryptography. This way, we see exactly where your human effort drives the market and how industries connect to individual and collective activity. It’s a level of granularity in understanding our economic footprint that’s never been possible before and because you remain anonymous, it drives the value of your data up further.Bryan Feinberg: If I buy something, the system tags that purchase based on what industry it falls into—like ‘Food and Drink’ if I buy lunch or ‘Tech’ if I buy a laptop. By tracking all my activities this way, DQLDB builds a clear picture of which industries are thriving or struggling based on my actions. Would it be like a mirror reflecting where I am putting all my money and timeSean Michael Brehm: It’s exactly that—a mirror reflecting our individual and collective choices that drive the economy. It provides an accurate picture of which industries matter most based on individual actions. Plus, it helps both individuals and businesses make informed choices by showing how their economic footprint interacts with market trends.Bryan Feinberg: You’ve talked about Vogon DQLDB supporting regulatory compliance. How does this focus on human identity and transaction visibility play out for financial oversightSean Michael Brehm: With Vogon DQLDB, regulators get a transparent, unbiased view of the market’s structure, right down to individual contributions. Each transaction reflects an identity within its industry, showing patterns that could reveal stability or potential risks. For example, if regulators notice a concentration of activity in specific sectors or a sudden shift in consumer behavior, they can respond proactively. This visibility helps create honest markets where contributions aren’t hidden or obscured but instead provide a stable foundation for economic oversight. We’re also in discussions with financial regulatory bodies to align our approach with industry standards, ensuring Vogon DQLDB can meet compliance requirements globally. It’s about building a fairer market system that operates with each participant's best interests in mind.Bryan Feinberg: The DQLDB essentially lets regulators ‘see’ the entire market more clearly—like a map that shows where all the action is happening and helps them spot risky trends early on. How does this make it easier to keep the market stable and safe for everyoneSean Michael Brehm: Now, with the Vogon DQLDB, regulators have a map to follow the action across sectors and industries in real time. They can react faster to shifts, and this creates a stable environment where everyone’s interests are protected. By enhancing transparency, we’re also limiting opportunities for shady practices to slip through the cracks.Bryan Feinberg: Your post also touched on high-frequency transactions. How does the Vogon DQLDB balance technical efficiency with personal, transparent data representationSean Michael Brehm: Vogon is designed for both speed and integrity. With our epoch-based structuring and VMerkelPairs, it handles high-frequency data while preserving each transaction’s unique identity. Every data entry in the ledger-database is preserved with its industry attribution, creating a clear, real-time trail of our daily economic footprint. This is essential for creating an open, honest system where people see how their actions contribute to the broader economy. Vogon DQLDB doesn’t just record transactions—it reflects them back as part of a shared economic narrative, helping people feel involved while also using energy-efficient processes that reduce its carbon footprint. This way, we support both high transaction speeds and environmental responsibility.Bryan Feinberg: So, the technology is fast enough to handle lots of transactions per second, but it doesn’t lose track of what each transaction actually represents. Is it fair to say that, even though the system processes everything at high speed, it still keeps a ‘personal touch’ by showing the meaning behind each transaction and keeping it secureSean Michael Brehm: Even though it’s fast, DQLDB is about showing how each one of your transactions—or organizational transactions—fits into the bigger picture. It does so security. Every action is recorded in a way that preserves its importance, so we see not just numbers but the real, human impact behind them and how businesses and governments use them responsibly.Bryan Feinberg: Hearing about this focus on human identity, how do you see Vogon DQLDB impacting financial interactions for everyday peopleSean Michael Brehm: At Spectral Capital, we believe it represents a shift from seeing markets as abstract entities to understanding them as a community of individual identities and choices. For the first time, people can see themselves in the market, with their transactions categorized transparently and their contributions valued. This return to transparency and inclusivity builds trust, making financial systems more accessible and relatable. Imagine a world where each person knows their economic role and sees their efforts contributing to market stability. We’re also launching pilot programs in the retail and banking sectors to illustrate this vision, making the market feel less distant and helping people see how their choices influence the system.Bryan Feinberg: I guess another way to look at this is that Vogon DQLDB will help people feel like they really matter in the financial system. Instead of the market being this distant, mysterious thing, we’d all see our own impact, and it would help us feel more involved.Sean Michael Brehm: Yes, don’t you think that the market should reflect each of us, not feel like a faceless machine Instead of your mobile phone data going to large institutions, it remains yours on the Vogon DQLDB brings and it brings your contributions front and center, making people feel connected and giving everyone a meaningful stake in a fair, stable financial future.Bryan Feinberg: Thank you, Sean. This vision of a human-centered market system is both powerful and timely. We look forward to seeing how Vogon DQLDB brings this vision to life.About FCCN Spectral Capital (OTCQB: FCCN)Based in Seattle, Washington, FCCN Spectral Capital is a leading innovator in decentralized cloud solutions, powered by advanced quantum ledger technology.

SINGAPORE, Nov 13, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Philippines' Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has announced at the Singapore FinTech Festival its strategic collaboration to pilot its Digital 2.0 Marketplace, which will define the future of digital distribution. Banks can follow a platform approach built around unbundling and re-assembling products and services through Open Platforms. RCBC will become the first bank in Southeast Asia to offer this platform. This groundbreaking marketplace will transform banking services by enabling real-time service creation through automation, providing significant benefits to customers and RCBC's global strategic partners."We aim to make banking and related services accessible to Filipinos worldwide, and our ongoing commitment to innovation will make this a reality. With APIwiz, we can manage and govern our Application Protocol Interface (APIs) in real-time and leverage composable APIs to comply, compete, and collaborate, allowing us to offer a wide range of unprecedented services that customers in this market have never experienced before through platform banking," shared Lito Villanueva, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation & Inclusion Officer, RCBC.APIs serve as the essential connectors in modern banking while platform banking continues to evolve. Banks should prioritize deploying and integrating service meshes in the short term to facilitate interactions with legacy core banking systems. This approach acts as a gateway for external connections and speeds up integration by exposing well-defined APIs. Over time, banks are expected to transition to microservices-based core platforms, fostering a more scalable and flexible ecosystem."This transition will enable a true platform banking environment streamlining API integration and deployment, accelerating banks' transition to modern, microservices-based platforms for enhanced flexibility and scalability," shared John Alabastro, IT Shared Services Group Head & CTO, RCBC"APIwiz, an end-end API platform, allows enterprises to build, govern, and operate APIs effectively. APIs are the digital glue of modern banking; however, the number of APIs used in banking is growing exponentially, and an API platform is needed to simplify, standardize, centralize, and automate API delivery.
