FutureTrack® by Union Savings Bank, a Goal-Based Planning Service Offers Unique Combination of Personal Coaching, Financial Insights and Digital Tools

Union Savings Bank

Union Savings Bank, a Danbury, Conn.-based community bank, announces the availability of “FutureTrack® by Union Savings Bank,” a goal-based planning service for customers. The program is designed to help customers achieve a variety of life goals – home ownership, starting a family, college planning, saving and budgeting, retirement and more – through one-on-one support with personal FutureTrack coaches and on-going financial insights and digital tools for managing finances. “We know people have diverse financial goals at varying stages of life, and each person defines success differently. But going it alone can be daunting,” said Rick Judd, USB’s Executive Vice President overseeing FutureTrack. “FutureTrack is an opportunity for people to finally feel like they are not tackling financial decisions on their own. Our FutureTrack coaches will help guide people so they can tackle life goals one at a time, building financial habits that will help them throughout their financial journey.” Judd also stated that with inflation rising and recent studies showing that nearly two-thirds of Americans are considered financially unhealthy, FutureTrack is more important than ever. The first step with FutureTrack (click to view:15 videos) is to book an appointment with the FutureTrack team for an assessment. A FutureTrack coach will ask questions about the person’s current financial situation, future goals, both short- and long-term. From there, the coach and “FutureTracker” set a plan on how to achieve those goals. The FutureTrackers will then receive frequent check-ins, educational materials, and recommendations to support them on their unique financial journey. To book an appointment, people can visit any USB branch, book an appointment online, or call the Customer Service Center at 866-872-1866. To become a “FutureTracker” and receive ongoing support, a relationship with USB is required, which enables the customer to take full advantage of the digital tools. Judd also explained that FutureTrack provides the perfect combination of human and technological support that people desire. “Access to ongoing coaching with an assigned FutureTrack coach with regular check-ins, our artificial intelligence (AI) tool like Spending Insights that help monitor spending habits, and USB Round-Up that enables customers to round up USB debit card purchases and automatically move that money into a savings account, plus educational information – all work together to help customers achieve their goals. We know there is a significant need for this kind of service based on industry research and feedback from our customers, and we don’t believe there’s anything quite like FutureTrack in the local community bank space.” According to Forbes “Most consumers are ’goal-oriented’ and focused on long-term savings goals. When it comes to those goals…people are hungry for more help reaching them and personalized advice at key moments. Increasingly, that help could come from artificial intelligence. A recent Accenture survey of North American banking customers discovered 46 percent are willing to use ‘robo-advice,’ 40 percent would consider switching banks to get more personalized service, and 39 percent said they want their financial institution to provide ‘actionable financial advice on a proactive, real-time basis.’” Judd adds, “This is not a one-and-done program ─ it is an ongoing understanding of the customer and their financial goals. FutureTrack is here for our customers throughout their journey, no matter the changes along the way.” In terms of the certified coaches, there are currently 23 Union Savings Bank FutureTrack coaches, and the Bank has more currently going through the certification process. The plan is to add more coaches on an on-going basis, as well. Each coach has completed extensive training through BVS Performance Solutions, a leading financial training company. The coaches are also trained to help customers navigate the various products and services Union Savings Bank offers and can direct customers to various subject matter experts, like mortgage loan originators, financial advisors, and business banking loan officers. Judd said that FutureTrack is yet another example of how the bank is using technology combined with personal service to benefit customers in their daily lives. “This service is designed to enhance the customer experience and help our customers feel like they have a trusted partner they can rely on. It’s less transactional and more relationship-driven and ultimately helps improve financial well-being, all of which are part of our mission.” For more information, please visit FutureTrack www.unionsavings.com/futuretrack.

Chinachem Group

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 7 September 2022 - Chinachem Group (the “Group”) today announces that the Group has confirmed with Helical Plc for the purchase of the 150-year long leasehold interest of Kaleidoscope, an office property situated in an emerging new tech cluster in London, at £158.5 million, reflecting a capital value of £1,789 psf. The lease from Transport for London was granted in 2018 and has a head rent geared to 10% of contracted rents. Completion is due to take place in ten days. This transaction marks the Group’s first overseas acquisition, which will help drive its portfolio diversification and sustainable growth. Newly completed in 2019, this six-storey 88,580 sq. ft. office building sits above the Farringdon East Crossrail Station. This well-connected area has attracted many tech companies to settle there, while the UK headquarters of Amazon and Snapchat are nearby. Situated at Lindsey Street, EC1, Kaleidoscope is currently fully occupied by Tiktok, the popular short form video hosting service owned by ByteDance, who took a 15-year lease in March 2021 at £7,633,053 per annum (an average rent in excess of £86 psf). The PLP designed scheme is accredited BREEAM Excellent, WiredScore Platinum and provides a 5,000 sq. ft. roof terrace together with spa quality end of journey facilities and features integrated artwork by Dutch artists De Makers Van. Donald Choi, Executive Director and CEO of Chinachem Group, said: “We’re delighted to have acquired Kaleidoscope successfully as it is located in a prime position in one of London’s most dynamic, vibrant and culturally rich sub-markets with impressive rental growth. We intend to hold this property for long-term investment.” He added: “Having now made our London entrance, we will incrementally increase our exposure in gateway cities of other major developed markets in order to move further forward our diversification objectives and build a long-term resilient income stream. However, Hong Kong still remains our home and the core market of our business operations.” Matthew Bonning-Snook, Property Director at Helical, commented: “ Kaleidoscope was the first over station development to complete on the Elizabeth Line and we were able to attract one of the world’s fastest growing tech businesses due to its striking design, highly accessible location, excellent amenities and strong environmental credentials. We will now seek to recycle the proceeds from the sale into delivering new highly sustainable ‘best-in-class’ Central London office schemes, where occupier demand remains strong.” Click here for high-resolution image About Chinachem Group Since 1960, Chinachem Group has been a leading property developer in Hong Kong, with a portfolio covering residential, commercial, retail and industrial buildings for sales and investment, in addition to operating hotels and property management services.

Amidst Inflation, People Are Becoming Hosts on Airbnb

YourUpdateTV

With inflation still a concern for people in the us and around the world, hosting is once again proving to be a vital tool to earn extra income. Recently, Ansel Troy, host of a Host of a tiny house in Oakland, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about his experience being an Airbnb Host and the financial benefits of listing a unique space on Airbnb. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/kv2NETtMVWI Airbnb started in 2008 during the Great Recession, at a moment in which people across the US and around the world were looking for new ways to earn extra income. Now, in the midst of a new economic downturn, hosting is once again proving to be a vital tool to earn. According to a recent survey conducted by Airbnb, 41 percent of Hosts in the US reported that one of the reasons they host is to earn money to help navigate rising prices. Airbnb is sharing new findings showing that new Hosts began opening their doors amidst growing inflation in Q2 2022 – as well as new insights into how these new Hosts are sharing their space as well as their ability to earn. More people start hosting as inflation increases Inflation has been climbing higher around the world. At the same time, more people have begun hosting, specifically in top tourism destination countries with high growth in inflation. While there are other factors that contribute to Host growth – including seasonality, demand and product initiatives – according to Airbnb’s analysis, on average, a one percentage point increase in the inflation rate in a top Airbnb market was correlated with a nearly four percentage point increase in the number of new Hosts in that country for Q2 2022. In the United States, where inflation hit 9.1 percent in June 2022, the number of new Hosts grew by more than 50 percent in Q2 2022, compared to Q2 2021. For new Hosts, it’s mortgages on their mind Hosts around the world have long shared that hosting helps them to afford their home – with the need to pay for their mortgage or rent even serving as a reason why many began hosting in the first place. According to an Airbnb survey, nearly 40 percent of Hosts in the US said that the income earned through hosting has helped them stay in their home in 2021. Now, with the cost of homeownership rising, new Hosts in the US are not only turning to hosting, but also may be hosting more frequently when they get started, to increase their earning potential and cover a larger mortgage. Regions with the greatest hikes in local residents’ mortgage payments also saw an increase in earnings for typical new Hosts in Q2 2022 – suggesting more hosting activity. In fact, according to Airbnb’s analysis, in Q2 2022, a $1 rise in the average American’s monthly mortgage payment – due to the hike in mortgage interest rates from three percent to six percent – was correlated with a 26-cents increase in a new typical Host’s earnings for the quarter. New Hosts see the opportunity to earn Inflation may be rising, but so too is the income Hosts are earning. As Airbnb has reported, in 2021, the typical Host in the US earned over $13,800 – an increase of 85 percent over 2019. The typical income of $13,800 represents over two months of pay for the median US household. For those who have begun hosting recently due to the changes in cost of living, the ability to earn is still strong: New Hosts earned a combined total of over $1.8 billion globally in 2021, up more than 30 percent from 2019. And this opportunity has continued into 2022 – including for younger Hosts, many of whom have discovered hosting as a way to fulfill their dreams even as new financial responsibilities and burdens stack up. In the first three months of 2022 alone, Hosts under 30 in the US alone earned approximately $200 million – after earning approximately $775 million in all of 2021. Hosts are sharing the space they have to get started now With these new economic pressures, more people are not only looking to start hosting, but also to do so flexibly – leveraging the space they have to earn, and quickly. New listings that were activated and booked in Q1 2022 are getting booked faster compared to a year ago, with the average time to get a first booking for the majority of new listings being about a week. In many cases, Hosts are tapping into the demand for more unique spaces to earn real income, with unique listings earning nearly $1 billion just in 2021. Take Host Ansel in Oakland, California, who decided to put a tiny home in his backyard and list it on Airbnb as a way to earn some passive income. After spending about $5,000 on the home itself, Ansel needed to get the rest of the space ready for guests on a budget. Though far from a trained designer, he purchased some tools, rolled up his sleeves and took to the web to teach himself everything from painting to propagating a plant wall in his bathroom – now one of the biggest selling points of his tiny home to guests. Since he began hosting in 2018, Ansel has earned more than $98,000, with the goal of setting up another listing in his home that he hopes will go viral. For Ansel, his own experience is proof that anyone can Host, and anyone can Host anywhere – a no brainer for people to consider hosting amidst economic flux. To find out more about hosting go to airbnb.com/host and get started. About Ansel Troy Ansel Troy is an Airbnb Super host in his hometown of Oakland, CA. His entrepreneurial start began when he was 14 selling newspaper subscriptions to help his mother with groceries and bills. With a propensity for helping others, he graduated from California State University East Bay with a degree in Ethnic Studies and pursued a career in Social Work. In 2013, he purchased a small fixer upper home in East Oakland and spent the next few years making DIY renovations. Four years later, Ansel was looking for a way to earn some passive income - he decided to lean into the tiny home craze and used the equity from his home to purchase a Tiny House to list on Airbnb. He didn’t have the funds to invest in contractors or designers for the fitout, so dove into a self-prescribed DIY YouTube rabbit hole to get the space ready to list. He parked the Tiny House in his backyard; guests loved the experience and responded with rave reviews. A few years into his Hosting journey, his son was diagnosed with Autism. Looking to spend more time at home with his son, Ansel decided to share his tiny home full-time, generating a source of income that helped to lighten the burden of worrying how he would care for him. In 2021, he resigned from a 13-year career in Social Work and currently works from home as a full-time Airbnb Host and Tiny House consultant. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home and has since grown to 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer one-of-a-kind stays and unique Experiences that make it possible for guests to experience the world in a more authentic, connected way.

Volatus Aerospace to Remotely Fly Multiple Drones in Las Vegas from Canada

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

At the Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, the world’s leading commercial drone trade show and conference, Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") will demonstrate the current capabilities of remotely piloted operations by flying multiple drones from its remote operations center at the Lake Simcoe regional airport in Ontario on Tuesday, September 6 at the Henderson Equestrian Park North during their annual drone demo day. During the 20-minute flight, Richard Podolski, VP of Flight Operations for Volatus Aerospace, will remotely operate the drones from the Volatus Remote Operations Center in Canada including pre-flight authorizations, takeoff, and landing, much in the same way a pilot would operate a drone from the Company’s AERIEPORT nesting station. To meet the requirements of cross-border regulatory compliance, the Company will have FAA certified local pilots at the demonstration site. This demonstration follows the introduction of the AERIEPORT announced by the Company in June of this year and the special flight operations certificate for the remote operation of a drone received by the Company and announced in August of this year.

The expansion of Private Client Lending into North Carolina highlights the extraordinary growth of PCMA and the continued growth in North Carolina’s luxury housing markets. “With both inflation and interest rates still rising, luxury real estate is an attractive hedge and a way to put your money to work”, says John R. Lynch, CEO and Founder of PCMA Private Client. “With so much in flux and all signs pointing towards a 10-year Treasury yield won’t surpass 3% by the end of 2022, luxury real estate acquisitions have become even more attractive.” PCMA Private Client understands the symbiotic relationship between wealth creations and real estate. According to a report produced The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM), there has been an 180% increase in luxury property ownership over the past three years in North Carolina. The increase in Private Client wealth is in part due to a strong stock market, increased real estate prices and alternative lending solutions that circumvent the increasing rate environment. This has allowed Private Clients access to credit, fueling a strong real estate market across the state of North Carolina. “While the average home buyer continues to be hammered by the volatility in the mortgage rates, our Private Clients are not as impacted by the fluctuation in rates,” said Lynch. “Through asset-based lending and other bespoke lending solutions offered exclusively by PCMA, Private Clients can look past the tumultuous rate environment and focus on putting their money to work without risking long term investment strategies or paying all cash for a primary or secondary home.” PCMA’s expansion into the North Carolina market comes on the heels of both internal and external growth of the company and new subsidiaries. PCMA continues to experience an unprecedented growth of high-net-worth originations at a record pace throughout the first half of 2022 even in the face of rising interest rates. Continued growth has come with the addition of PCMA Capital Advisors and the expansion of direct and indirect origination channels.
