  Wealth and Health are no longer separate domains. As predictive health technologies evolve, we can now estimate not just lifespan, but healthspan. This opens the door to a new paradigm: Longevity Planning.
  If you're interested in taking your financial planning platform one step further by integrating medical-based longevity forecasting, let’s connect. I’m pleased to share how Longevity AI is pioneering this space and how it can transform the way we approach wealth management.
  Feel free to reach out.

  AI-powered searches are changing fast. Google’s AI Overviews alone doubled in the first quarter of 2025!
  
  So, how can you improve your site's chances of getting cited on AI-generated searches?
  
  We've started getting #1 citations in AI Overviews and Perplexity for our clients.
  
  Check out our latest article, which breaks down how we're doing this - and feel free to DM me for a chat on how we can help your fintech do the same.

  In finance, trust is earned in milliseconds.
  0.05 to be exact. That’s all it takes for someone to decide if your brand feels credible.
  
  We’ve seen this firsthand, working with fintech teams around the world. In today’s digital space, if your brand doesn’t feel trustworthy, you’re not even in the running.
  
  Trust is built strategically: clear, intentional design, applied with consistency, aligned messaging, and a product that delivers.
  
  That’s the baseline. Anything less, and the brand isn’t doing its job.
  
  I wrote this article after another conversation with a fintech team struggling to grow. The product was strong, but the brand wasn’t doing the bare minimum. This article breaks down why consistency isn’t just a detail in fintech. It’s the foundation.

  When a Citizenship Scheme Collides with Payment Reality
  
  The EU Court just ruled Malta’s citizenship-for-investment scheme illegal, and we just have to wait and see if every client file tied to a Maltese setup now has to be re-checked again.
  This change will definitely have an effect on how international clients structure their operations, how banks respond to nationality claims in the future, and how onboarding logic needs to be written going forward.
  All banks and payment providers now have to be brought up to date, their risk profiles need to be reviewed, and the old thinking that allowed these clients through without proper checks must be replaced with a more serious and current approach.
  What was once a fast track can now raise red flags. If your account, SEPA access, or license was built on this structure, you could be in trouble.
