Sarah, who says she’s been homeschooling for 20 years, happened to check her employee benefits account from a tech giant where she used to work. The account had gone from barely worth anything to roughly $18 million at current market price, she told Dave Ramsey in an episode of The Ramsey Show.

African stock markets regained momentum in the third quarter of 2025, with Nigeria, Kenya, and Morocco among the strongest performers as investor confidence improved and currency conditions stabilised. The latest market capitalisation data from Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority (CMA) shows that out of nine exchanges, six recorded double-digit gains over the quarter, although persistent reporting gaps in others continue to obscure a full view of the continent’s investment landscape. The analysis draws on CMA’s quarterly market-capitalisation data for selected African bourses. Although market capitalisation is influenced by currency movements, new listings, delistings, and changes in share prices, it remains a widely used indicator of market performance and investor sentiment.

The International Sustainable Trade Finance Framework (ISTFF), adopted by many banks including Standard Chartered, aims to standardize what ‘sustainable trade’ looks like across markets.

“Financial Scams and Consumer Trust,” a collaboration between PYMNTS Intelligence and Block, examines how the rise of digital scams is undermining the confidence powering everyday banking, commerce and payments. Drawing on a survey of 15,110 United States consumers conducted from Sept. 9, 2025, to Sept. 22, 2025, the report reveals how fraud has evolved from a personal nuisance to a systemic trust challenge. Nearly four in 10 U.S. households have fallen victim to scams in the past five years. Losses from these scams range from a few hundred dollars in gift-card or tech-support schemes to thousands of dollars in investment and Social Security scams. What’s most surprising is who’s getting hit: younger, affluent and college-educated consumers, the very group long assumed to be the most digit...
