Wix Checking

Wix Capital

The new financial suite includes Wix Checking and Wix Capital, two new solutions designed to help Wix merchants access their funds immediately, take control of cash flow, and support business growth online and offline

NEW YORK – Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX), the leading SaaS website builder platform globally¹, today announced the launch of Wix Checking² and Wix Capital, a powerful new financial services suite aimed to help users manage cash flow and fund growth. Eligible businesses can efficiently streamline their finances, enabling them to concentrate on growth and innovation.

Wix Checking, powered by Unit’s embedded finance solution, gives users a fully integrated business checking account directly within the Wix platform at no extra cost. It is designed to simplify financial operations by offering a clear, real-time view of cash flow and business performance. Users can instantly access their earnings the moment a sale is completed, track incoming revenue and outgoing expenses side by side, and make faster, more informed decisions. By syncing automatically with Wix Payments, Wix Checking removes the need for external banking tools and manual reconciliations, saving time and reducing errors. To use their funds, merchants can either make purchases with the Wix Visa® business debit card or transfer money to an external bank account for added flexibility. The result is a seamless, all-in-one financial experience that gives business owners greater control, speed, and simplicity in managing their money.

In addition to Wix Checking, Wix has introduced Wix Capital, a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) service designed to help businesses address cash flow gaps and unlock growth. Many small businesses face challenges when trying to secure funding through traditional banks, often encountering long approval processes or strict requirements. Wix Capital offers a faster, more accessible alternative by allowing users to request a cash advance in exchange for a fixed fee and a percentage of future sales. This provides access to funds that can be used for essential business needs such as inventory, payroll, or operational expenses. Removing barriers to capital and making funding available at the moment it’s needed most is key to helping businesses grow. Built directly into the Wix platform, Wix Capital gives users a simple and flexible way to invest in their business without leaving the tools they already use to run it.

“With Wix Checking and Wix Capital, we’re giving users a complete financial solution built into the platform they already use,” said Amit Sagiv and Volodymyr Tsukur, Co-Heads of Wix Payments. “It’s fast, simple, and designed to help small businesses access their money and fuel growth — all in one place. This is part of our broader commitment to supporting the full journey of business ownership, from managing day-to-day operations to making smarter financial decisions.”

Wix Checking and Wix Capital are available to a select group of U.S.-based users using Wix Payments, with plans to roll out to more users on a gradual basis³.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Republic of Nauru has welcomed its first new citizens under the government’s Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program, announced at COP29 late last year.

Nauru, ranked the world’s fifth most vulnerable nation under the United Nations’ Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) for its heightened exposure to economic and environmental shocks, launched the program as a way for conscientious investors to acquire an additional citizenship while contributing to climate adaptation and sustainable development projects in the South Pacific.

Program CEO Edward Clark revealed the first approved applicant is a German family of four who recently sold their long-standing family business — a well-known, reputable German company — and are currently living in Dubai.

“They were looking for a second citizenship to provide them with a Plan B given the current global political volatility and chose the Nauru Economic & Climate Resilience Citizenship Program because the contribution was going towards tackling the impacts of climate change on the island,” he explained.

Mr Clark, who has an extensive background in international banking, financial crime and compliance, said it took under four months from receiving the application to the granting of citizenship, and that strict due diligence processes were followed.

“This is a fundamental pillar of our program and a safeguard for Nauru’s reputation and security,” he said.

“All applicants undergo checks with international law enforcement agencies and are subject to in-depth background verification. Our entire application process is consistent with international best practices.”

He said only individuals of the highest calibre who can participate in shaping Nauru’s future will be granted citizenship.

“The granting of Nauruan citizenship to this family marks a major milestone for the program and provides even more confidence to those who are currently exploring Nauru citizenship by investment.”

Nauru is embarking on a long-term project that will reform the nation in the face of economic challenges and climate change, which as well as dealing with issues like food and water security, includes the “Higher Ground Initiative” – relocating almost the entire population from the coast to higher ground.

The new citizens from Germany applied through international migration agents Henley & Partners, who in a statement said the company is “incredibly proud to represent the first applicant to be successfully granted citizenship under the Republic of Nauru’s Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program.

“For our firm, this goes beyond mobility; this is about directing capital into a Small Island Developing State, which is facing real climate risk.

“This is a clear example of how investment migration, when properly designed and governed, can channel capital toward economic and climate resilience measures and create a more sustainable future,” the statement concluded.

NEW YORK, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For women across the U.S. and Europe, the search for a perfect wig has long been a frustrating choice between quality and affordability. Ulofey.com was founded to end this dilemma. The new brand today officially announces its launch, promising to revolutionize the wig industry by making superior, long-lasting products accessible to more consumers, including those experiencing hair loss.

The Ulofey team understands that the root cause of widespread market dissatisfaction is that many wigs are made from hair that is chemically processed, stripped of its natural cuticles, or falsely labeled as high-quality. While these inferior products can be made to look appealing initially, they quickly become a tangled, frizzy mess after just a few washes.

Ulofey tackles this issue from the source. Our products are made exclusively with genuine Virgin Human Hair, defined by its untouched quality: it has never been chemically processed, its natural cuticles are intact and aligned, and its structure is strong and durable. This means our wigs can be styled and treated just like your own hair—they can be dyed, bleached, permed, and straightened without becoming damaged, offering a long-term investment that can last for 5 years or more.

While genuine Virgin Human Hair wigs are often prohibitively expensive, Ulofey is changing the game. By meticulously controlling our supply chain, we are able to offer these superior products at a price point that is just a fraction of the market average. This commitment to accessible luxury means that more women, including those with hair loss, can finally afford a durable, long-lasting wig. Furthermore, our custom Virgin Human Hair wigs are crafted and ready to ship in just 10 business days, an exceptionally fast turnaround for a personalized product.

“Our mission is simple: to make true quality accessible,” said Founder of Ulofey. “We founded Ulofey to serve not just the luxury market, but also everyday women and those experiencing hair loss. We believe every woman deserves a high-quality wig that empowers her without breaking the bank. Our commitment to fair pricing, fast turnaround, and comprehensive after-sales service is how we are building a brand that truly puts the user first.”

The launch of Ulofey.com marks a pivotal moment for the wig industry, pushing for greater transparency, quality, and affordability. By delivering high-value products that are both accessible and backed by excellent support, Ulofey aims to earn the trust of its customers and empower them to express their unique beauty with confidence.

About Ulofey.com
Ulofey.com is an e-commerce brand specializing in high-end, custom human hair products. We are dedicated to providing women worldwide with 100% Virgin Human Hair wigs and toppers. Ulofey is built on the principle of “Quality First, Customization at its Core,” using meticulous sourcing and expert craftsmanship to make premium hair accessible, empowering every customer to confidently embrace their unique beauty.

The collaboration aims to help millions of gamers around the world earn real rewards while playing, topping up, and creating content on the9bit. The partnership will officially kick off as the9bit prepares to launch its full platform globally on 1 August 2025.

The collaboration is designed to drive sustainable growth for both parties by combining YGG’s trusted onboarding model with the9bit’s Web2-friendly UX, which auto-generates wallets, enables local fiat payments, and offers flexible, token-convertible rewards. 

Quote from Gabby Dizon, Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games 

“We’re excited to welcome the9bit into the YGG ecosystem.

be — bringing players, creators, leaders, and developers together in one unified space where everyone can earn, grow, and collaborate. We’re building a future where guilds, KOLs, esports teams, and communities can play together, earn together, and own together — and this is just the beginning.” 

The9bit plans to work closely with YGG’s regional leaders to roll out co-branded campaigns, live AMA sessions, in-game missions, and tournaments that highlight how players and creators can earn more together. As the Web3 gaming market matures, both teams believe that lowering technical barriers and focusing on real IP, real earnings, and real communities is the key to attracting the next million players. 

YGG’s proven track record in scaling player onboarding will help the9bit quickly expand its base of active users in Southeast Asia and beyond. With YGG’s scholars already demonstrating high engagement and meaningful earnings, this collaboration will onboard hundreds of thousands of highly engaged players, streamers, and community leaders into the9bit’s Spaces—driving content velocity, loyalty, and powerful word-of-mouth growth.
