Money TLV 18-19 June 2025

Israel's Ministry of Finance published an "Interim Report for Public Comments from the Team to Reduce Gaps in Short- and Medium-Term Savings Investment Instruments". As someone who has delved into this topic over the past year as part of market research and formulating a GTM strategy, I believe this is mainly a matter of "when" rather than "if." Therefore, I see tremendous potential for global E2E investment platforms that manage investment accounts, like the UK's ISA or Japan's NISA. If these platforms also possess holistic financial planning capabilities, the path to conquering the Israeli market is wide open for them.
Here is a summary (pay attention to section 3 below).
Generally, the discussed reform pertains to short- to medium-term voluntary savings products with tax benefits. These products include investment provident funds, savings policies, and mutual funds, with assets under management totaling approximately 700 billion NIS by the end of 2024. The reform focuses on three main issues that need to be addressed:
1. Standardization of short- to medium-term voluntary savings products with tax benefits, specifically unifying taxation rules (and reducing tax benefits in the process) and managing them under a single investment account.
2. Holistic financial intermediation, meaning an advisor who can provide advice on all products (and transition to a neutral commission model in the process).
3. Mandatory savings and investment platform for managing the dedicated investment account. Additionally, the platform will display pension savings and other voluntary savings to provide a holistic view. The platform will be used by stock exchange members and other users with dual consulting licenses (investment and pension).
As stated above, I believe that the reform (like any reform) will undergo many more changes along the way, but ultimately it will happen, and I recognize a major technological opportunity here. If the topic is relevant to you, I'd be happy to be in touch.

https://www.usdmint.com New digital dollar works exactly like that.
Folks, we put together a no-fluff comparison of startup banks
https://useorin.com/fintech-picks
As a two-time founder, I went through the drill - researching,
comparing offers, and evaluating fees to find the right bank for my
startup.
It’s tricky to know what’s real - with tempting offers, flashy
ads and hidden fees around.
Here we cover some key benefits and details that are important when
growing your business.
Compiled real people inputs and got data from
multiple user review sites.
And put this raw infographic to give you a side-by-side comparison.
Hope this saves your startup some time.
If you'd like to share feedback review or thoughts, write in the box next to it.

Another powerful report from FIS on global payments. This is a 156-report that gives you global payments trends, key insights, and other important ecosystem information.
The payments space continues to evolve with super apps, CBDCs, embedded finance, evolution of real-time payments, banking the unbanked, and more...
Check out the report and use it as a reference guide for what's happening and what's coming in payments.
I want to thank Ahmed Refaie Abdo from DSRPTD in the UAE for sharing it with me.
What are your thoughts? Steven Wasserman, Mario Cohen, Jaroslaw Sarwa, Angel Lorente, Carlos M. Mendes , Fabian Lehner , Elena Kozhemyakina , Jaroslaw Sarwa , Adam Ull , Sefa Bicer , Shafique Ibrahim
