Contactless Delivery of Parts and Services to Trigger a $75-Billion Market Opportunity in the Global Aftermarket Sector by 2025

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — According to Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Digital Business Models Mitigating COVID-19 Implications on Global Aftermarket Performance in 2020, aftermarket revenue expanded by 4.1% in 2019. This was largely driven by a 3.2% growth in vehicles in operation, with the contraction in global gross domestic product (GDP) growth stifling consumer expenditure on new vehicle purchases. For 2020, the market was initially forecasted to grow at a healthy 4%; however, following muted consumer demand and supply-chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now expected to contract between 4.9% and 11.6%. New aftermarket demand pockets will rise from the need for customer safety and wellbeing, creating a $75-billion market opportunity for contactless delivery of parts and services by 2025.

For further information on this analysis, please visit: http://frost.ly/4i6

«The global automotive aftermarket is at a crossroads and has severely impacted stakeholders at all levels. Supply chain reorientation, financial aid to channel partners and the digitization of traditional business models and services can help mitigate some of the adverse effects of the pandemic,» said Anuj Monga, Research Manager, Automotive & Transportation at Frost & Sullivan. «Increased awareness about the significance of social distancing and enhanced personal hygiene is expected to drive service providers to adopt digitization of the aftermarket ecosystem as customers will prefer contactless provision of services at their preferred locations, thus diminishing footfalls at workshops. A whole new segment of health and wellness in-car care is opening up and looks promising well beyond the immediate aftermath of the crisis.»

Monga added: «There is ample scope for turning adversity to advantage if appropriate investments are channeled towards the digitization of existing business models. E-retailing of parts and accessories, the uberization of vehicle services on aggregator platforms, and on-demand services are expected to be bright spots in an otherwise dismal business environment.»

The global aftermarket performance is expected to temporarily shrink post-COVID-19. However, to mitigate risks, companies in this sector should take advantage of the growth opportunities by:

Investing in eCommerce solutions for the e-retailing of replacement parts and accessories. Aftermarket online retailing is forecast to grow between 15% and 17% in the next five years globally.
Creating platforms for the digital retailing of vehicle service jobs, both for repair and maintenance requirements. This would help extend visibility to out-of-warranty customers and soften the impact of reduced new vehicle sales.
Offering on-demand services such as fuel delivery, oil change, tire services, maintenance, and cleaning. Such solutions work around customer apprehensions regarding workshop safety while offering the added convenience of ordering a vehicle service at the location of their choice.
Developing products such as cabin air filters, in-vehicle sanitizers, driver PPE, and even solutions targeted at workshop sanitization and technician safety. Parts, accessories, and services related to the hygiene and in-car care of commuters are expected to generate $2.2 billion in the next four to five years.

Digital Business Models Mitigating COVID-19 Implications on Global Aftermarket Performance in 2020 is part of Frost & Sullivan’s global Automotive and Transportation Growth Partnership Service program.

Texas-based Start-up Launching New Mobile Bank For Latinos

LUBBOCK, Texas, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lubbock, Texas-based startup, Viva First, is launching a new mobile bank with the Latino community in mind—all 52 million in the United States. While so many banks and fintech companies take a broad approach when catering to multiple demographics, the company sees a real opportunity to bank this underserved market.

When looking at the financial habits of Latinos, they are traditionally a cash-heavy group that has a 22% lower adoption rate for traditional checking and savings accounts when compared to their Non-Latino counterparts—but they’re ready for a solution. Internal research finds that 30% of Latinos would consider switching banks if an in-language mobile banking experience was available.

This is where Viva First plans to win.

Several cultural, behavioral, and trust barriers have prevented Latinos from adopting certain financial services. The company aims to remedy that through a Spanish-first approach and a ground-up technology platform specifically designed to cater to Latino preferences. The company has also crafted public-facing messaging and customer service to provide a uniquely-Latino experience that delivers a high level of dignity that is lacking from other institutions.

«The Latino community has largely been banked in the wrong way with misguided practices. We’re going to deliver a banking solution that truly speaks their language and gives them every account feature they could ever expect. We’re talking about a very influential demographic that deserves real attention. And we’ve tailored a financial relationship just for them,» says Chief Evangelist, Natalia Muñoz-Moore.

While the mobile bank is curated for Latino clientele, it is open to everyone and the company’s product teams have engineered functionality that any customer can appreciate. «Just about every bank has an app, most of which are fairly cookie-cutter. We wanted to architect a better mobile experience than our community- and mega-bank peers. When it comes to the technology and customer experience, we spent a great deal of time building a better product,» Muñoz-Moore explains.

Every account comes standard with industry-leading security, Visa™ debit cards, smart saving recommendations, highly-personalized messaging, and are FDIC-insured up to $250,000. The Viva First accounts will be sponsored by Spur Security Bank in Spur, Texas.

The startup is currently in its alpha phase of testing and plans to launch its fully-featured mobile app in 4th quarter of 2020 in select markets. The first areas to be opened up for customers will be located in Texas including El Paso, San Antonio, and parts of the Rio Grande valley. Viva First already has plans of introducing some first-to-market features soon after the rollout is complete.

Users wanting to open an account can join a waitlist at vivafirst.com and get notified of availability as new markets are opened up.

Start-up de Texas lanza nuevo banco móvil para latinos

LUBBOCK, Texas, 8 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La startup de Lubbock, Texas, Viva First, lanza un nuevo banco móvil pensado para los 52 millones de personas que componen la comunidad latina en los Estados Unidos. Mientras que muchos bancos y compañías fintech eligen una estrategia amplia que les permita abarcar múltiples grupos demográficos, esta compañía ha identificado una oportunidad real al ofrecer servicios de banca específicamente a este mercado tan desatendido.

Al observar los hábitos financieros de los latinos se identifica que se apoyan fuertemente en el dinero en efectivo, con un 22 % menos de adopción de cuentas corrientes y de ahorros en comparación con contrapartes no latinas, pero que están abiertos a nuevas soluciones. Investigaciones internas encontraron que el 30 % de los latinos consideraría cambiar de banco si existiera la oferta de una experiencia de banca móvil en su idioma.

Justo allí es donde Viva First planea encontrar victorias.

Diversas barreras culturales, conductuales y de confianza han evitado que los latinos adopten ciertos servicios financieros. La compañía espera remediar esto a través de una plataforma tecnológica construida en español desde la base, que esté diseñada para atender las preferencias de los latinos. También se han dispuesto canales de mensajería y servicio al cliente centrados en la persona, buscando proveer una experiencia particularmente latina que ofrezca el alto nivel de dignidad que tanto hace falta en otras instituciones actualmente.

«Durante mucho tiempo la comunidad latina ha sido atendida en la banca de manera incorrecta y con prácticas orientadas de forma errónea. Nosotros vamos a ofrecer una solución bancaria que realmente hable su idioma y les ofrezca todas las funcionalidades que ellos podrían desear. Estamos hablando de un grupo demográfico de gran influencia y que merece una atención real. Y hemos construido una relación financiera específicamente para ellos», aseguró Natalia Muñoz-Moore, directora de evangelización.

Si bien este banco móvil se diseñó para la clientela latina, estará disponible para cualquier persona, y los equipos de producto de la compañía han creado funcionalidades que cualquier cliente podrá apreciar. «Prácticamente todos los bancos tienen una app, la mayoría bajo un molde estándar. Nosotros quisimos diseñar una experiencia móvil que fuera mejor que la de nuestros pares en banca comunitaria y megabancos. En lo que tiene que ver con tecnología y experiencia del usuario, invertimos bastante tiempo en la construcción de un producto mejor», explica Muñoz-Moore.

Todas las cuentas vienen por defecto con las más avanzadas medidas de seguridad de la industria, tarjetas débito Visa™, recomendaciones de ahorro inteligente, mensajería altamente personalizada y el seguro FDIC hasta por USD 250.000. Las cuentas Viva First estarán respaldadas por Spur Security Bank en Spur, Texas.

La startup se encuentra actualmente en fase alfa de pruebas, y planea lanzar la app móvil completamente funcional durante el cuarto trimestre de 2020 en determinados mercados. Las primeras áreas donde estará disponible para los clientes son en Texas, incluidas El Paso, San Antonio y algunas zonas del valle del Río Grande. Viva First ya tiene planes para implementar algunas de las funciones pioneras en el mercado poco tiempo después de completar el lanzamiento.

Los usuarios que deseen abrir una cuenta pueden inscribirse en la lista de espera en vivafirst.com y recibirán notificaciones de disponibilidad a medida que se vayan abriendo los mercados.

Greenwood closes $3 million seed round to build online banking solution for Blacks and Latinx

ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Greenwood has secured $3 million in seed funding from private investors as the first digital banking platform for Black and Latinx people and business owners. Greenwood features best-in-class online banking services and innovative ways of giving back to Black and Latinx causes and businesses.

Greenwood’s founders include:

Andrew J. Young, civil rights…

Greenwood’s founders include:

Andrew J. Young, civil rights legend, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and former Mayor of Atlanta
Michael Render, aka Killer Mike, rapper and activist in Black financial empowerment
Ryan Glover, Greenwood Chairman and founder of Bounce TV network

«It’s no secret that traditional banks have failed the Black and Latinx community,» said Ryan Glover. «We needed to create a new financial platform that understands our history and our needs going forward, a banking platform built by us and for us, a platform that helps us build a stronger future for our communities. This is our time to take back control of our lives and our financial future. That is why we launched Greenwood, modern banking for the culture.»

«Today, a dollar circulates for 20 days in the white community but only six hours in the Black community,» said Michael ‘Killer Mike’ Render. «Moreover, a Black person is twice as likely as a white person to be denied a mortgage. This lack of fairness in the financial system is why we created Greenwood.»

Greenwood’s executive leadership includes:

Aparicio Giddins, President & Chief Technology Officer (previously of Bank of America and TD Bank)
David Tapscott, Chief Marketing Officer (previously of Green Dot and Combs Enterprises)
Andrew «Bo» Young, III, Board Member (managing partner, Andrew Young Investment Group)
Dr. Paul Judge, Board Member (co-founder of Pindrop and TechSquare Labs)

Product

Greenwood’s initial products are savings and spending accounts that come with a stunningly designed black metal debit card for customers who sign up by the end of the year. Advanced features like Apple, Samsung, and Android pay, virtual debit cards, peer-to-peer transfers, mobile check deposits, and free ATM usage in over 30,000 locations are offered with no hidden fees. Customers who invite their friends to open accounts receive cash awards as a thank you from Greenwood. All deposits are FDIC insured by a partner bank.

Additionally, Greenwood plans to work with brick and mortar minority-owned backs to provide deposits to help strengthen historically black banks.

«The work that we did in the civil rights movement wasn’t just about being able to sit at the counter. It was also about being able to own the restaurant,» said Ambassador Andrew Young. «We have the skills, talent and energy to compete anywhere in the world, but to grow the economy, it has to be based on the spirit of the universe and not the greed of the universe. Killer Mike, Ryan and I are launching Greenwood to continue this work of empowering black and brown people to have economic opportunity.»

Greenwood Gives Back

Greenwood has three key avenues to support Black and Latinx causes and businesses:

For every customer sign-up, Greenwood will provide five free meals to a family in need.
Every swipe of a Greenwood debit card will prompt a donation to UNCF for education, Goodr to feed the hungry, or NAACP to support civil rights.
And every month, Greenwood will provide a $10,000 grant to a Black or Latinx small business owner that is a Greenwood customer.

History of the name «Greenwood»

The Greenwood name pays homage to the prosperous «Black Wall Street,» part of the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the early 20th Century — a center of African American enterprise, entertainment, skills, wealth and investment capital. Though it was destroyed by white mobs in 1921, the Greenwood District remains an enduring symbol of the economic potential of community solidarity. The new Greenwood neobank takes inspiration from the entrepreneurial and empowering spirit of the Greenwood District where a dollar typically circulated 36 times – and for up to a year — within the Black community. The new Greenwood also is proud to be a backer of the contemporary Greenwood Culture Center in Oklahoma.

Greenwood cierra ronda de capital semilla y logra USD 3 millones para construir una solución de banca en línea para personas negras y latinas

ATLANTA, 8 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Siendo la primera plataforma bancaria digital para empresarios y personas negras y latinas, Greenwood ha conseguido USD 3 millones en capital semilla provenientes de inversionistas privados. Greenwood cuenta con servicios de banca en línea de máxima categoría, así como opciones innovadoras para hacer aportes a empresas y causas de la comunidad negra y latina.

Entre los fundadores de Greenwood se encuentran:

<span…

Entre los fundadores de Greenwood se encuentran:

Andrew J. Young, una leyenda en temas de derechos civiles, antiguo embajador de los Estados Unidos para las Naciones Unidas y antiguo alcalde de Atlanta
Michael Render, también conocido como Killer Mike, rapero y activista en temas de empoderamiento financiero negro
Ryan Glover, presidente de Greenwood y fundador de la red Bounce TV

«Para nadie es un secreto que los bancos tradicionales le han fallado a la comunidad negra y latina», dijo Ryan Glover. «Necesitamos crear una nueva plataforma financiera que comprenda nuestra historia y nuestras necesidades futuras, una plataforma bancaria creada por nosotros y para nosotros, una plataforma que nos ayude a construir un mejor futuro para nuestras comunidades. Este es el momento de retomar el control de nuestras vidas y de nuestro futuro financiero. Por eso es que creamos Greenwood, un banco moderno para la cultura».

«En la actualidad, un dólar circula durante 20 días en la comunidad blanca, mientras que en la comunidad negra sólo lo hace por seis horas», señaló Michael «Killer Mike» Render. «Asimismo, una persona negra tiene el doble de probabilidades de que se le niegue un crédito hipotecario, en comparación con una persona blanca. Esta falta de igualdad en el sistema financiero es la razón por la que creamos Greenwood».

El equipo directivo de Greenwood cuenta con los siguientes miembros:

Aparicio Giddins, presidente y director de tecnología (anteriormente trabajó para Bank of America y TD Bank)
David Tapscott, director de marketing (anteriormente trabajó para Green Dot y Combs Enterprises)
Andrew «Bo» Young, III, miembro de la junta (socio directivo de Andrew Young Investment Group)
Dr. Paul Judge, miembro de la junta (cofundador de Pindrop y TechSquare Labs)

Productos

Los productos iniciales de Greenwood son cuentas de ahorros y corrientes, que vienen con una tarjeta débito metálica en un color negro deslumbrante, para los clientes que se inscriban antes de finalizar el año. También se ofrecen servicios avanzados como Apple Pay, Samsung Pay y Android Pay, tarjetas débito virtuales, transferencias punto a punto, depósito móvil de cheques y la posibilidad de usar cajeros electrónicos gratis en más de 30.000 locaciones, todo esto sin cargos adicionales. Los clientes que inviten a sus amigos a abrir cuentas recibirán premios en efectivo como agradecimiento de parte de Greenwood. Todos los depósitos están asegurados por la FDIC a través de un banco aliado.

Adicionalmente, Greenwood planea ofrecer depósitos a través de bancos físicos de propiedad de minorías, para ayudar a fortalecer bancos históricamente negros.

«El trabajo que hicimos con el movimiento de los derechos civiles no se trataba solo de poder sentarnos en una mesa. Incluía también poder ser los propietarios del restaurante», expresó el embajador Andrew Young. «Tenemos las habilidades, el talento y la energía para competir en cualquier lugar del mundo, pero para que crezca la economía es necesario que nos basemos en el espíritu del universo, no en su codicia. Killer Mike, Ryan y yo estamos lanzando Greenwood para dar continuidad a este trabajo de empoderar a las personas negras y cafés para que tengan oportunidades en la economía».

Greenwood retribuye

Greenwood cuenta con tres estrategias para apoyar empresas y causas negras y latinas:

Por cada cliente que se registre, Greenwood proveerá cinco comidas gratis a familias necesitadas.
Cada uso de tarjeta débito Greenwood generará una donación dirigida a UNCF para educación, a Goodr para alimentar a quienes pasan hambre o a NAACP para apoyar el trabajo por los derechos civiles.
Y una vez al mes, Greenwood otorgará una subvención de USD 10.000 a un pequeño empresario negro o latino cliente del banco.

Historia del nombre «Greenwood»

El nombre Greenwood rinde homenaje al próspero «Black Wall Street», parte del Distrito Greenwood en Tulsa, Oklahoma, a principios del siglo XX. Este fue un centro afroamericano de empresas, entretenimiento, conocimiento, riqueza y capitales de inversión. A pesar de haber sido destruido por hordas de blancos en 1921, el Distrito Greenwood sigue siendo un símbolo perenne del potencial económico de la solidaridad comunitaria. El nuevo neobanco Greenwood toma su inspiración del espíritu emprendedor y empoderado del Distrito Greenwood, donde un dólar normalmente circularía 36 veces, hasta durante un año, dentro de la comunidad negra. El nuevo Greenwood también se enorgullece de ser uno de los patrocinadores del contemporáneo Centro Cultural Greenwood en Oklahoma.

My Plates to sell by auction rare Texas license plate numbers

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In the early days, license plates and numbers were issued to register all «horseless carriages». The first license plate in Texas was issued during the summer of 1907. Even back then, all vehicles or machines had to be registered in order to legally use the public roads, streets or byways.

Now, My Plates, the official vendor for specialty license plates in Texas is auctioning a…

Now, My Plates, the official vendor for specialty license plates in Texas is auctioning a limited release of historic license plate numbers as part of their Great Plate Auction. My Plates will be offering 8 rare license plate numbers for sale in the auction that runs through October 21, 2020.
