Curb teams up with American Express to Give Back to NYC Taxi Drivers This Holiday Season

Curb

Curb, the leading ride-hailing app for licensed taxi and for-hire rides in North America, today announced a partnership with American Express ® (NYSE: AXP), the globally integrated payments company, to help give back to New York City taxi drivers this holiday season. Curb will launch a holiday rewards program for its taxi drivers, a workforce that plays an integral part in the city’s transportation system. American Express will provide support by funding American Express® gift Cards that Curb will manage and distribute to drivers through its rewards program, and could be used for gas or to make holiday purchases. In New York City, ten outstanding drivers on the Curb e-hail platform will be rewarded with a $500 American Express® gift Card each month. Curb’s rewards program will kick off the holiday season at the end of November and run through the end of April. “As a driver-first company, we recognize that taxi drivers are the backbone of not only our business, but NYC transportation as a whole, and we’re delighted to spotlight the hard-working drivers behind the wheel,” said Amos Tamam, Founder and CEO of Curb. “With the rapid development of ride-share businesses over the last few years, taxi drivers, many of whom have been driving for decades and have invested in this job through the purchase of a medallion, are small businesses in their own right.” “American Express is pleased to help support the taxi drivers of New York City during their busiest season,” said Tatia Adams Fox, Vice-President and General Manager in the National Client Group at American Express. “By teaming up with Curb, we’re able to help give back to the taxi drivers in New York City while also showcasing the importance of supporting local businesses.” In parallel, Curb has joined the Small Business Saturday® Corporate Supporter Program and will join American Express to raise awareness on the importance of supporting small businesses on Small Business Saturday (November 26) and all holiday season long through a marketing campaign that will run on the Curb app and on Curb’s in-vehicle TaxiTV platform. “These initiatives allow us to show more appreciation for drivers and encourage more people to support taxi travel this season, a small business service that has been consistent, reliable and supporting New Yorkers for decades,” added Tamam. “New York residents and those visiting the city can also feel encouraged to ride their local taxi to their nearest local shop or restaurant during Small Business Saturday.” To learn more about Curb, please visit gocurb.com About Curb Mobility Curb is reimagining urban mobility with a driver-first approach to ride-hailing.

Best Nomad Travel Insurance & Health Insurance for Expats

Digital Nomad World

In recent years, the world of global travel has been turned upside down: we’ve all had to deal with the fallout from a global pandemic and global conflicts. These kinds of unforeseen events have made simply hopping on a plane and jetting off to a different destination a little more difficult than usual. Especially for expats or nomads whose jet-setting lifestyles often mean living in different destinations and traveling without restrictions. Now more than ever, making sure you’ve got the right travel insurance for you is very important for your travels around the world. The thing is, the type of travel insurance that has traditionally been offered doesn’t always fit with the non-traditional lifestyle of nomads or expats. However, in the last few years, nomads’ insurance, which has been developed with both expats and nomads in mind, has taken the market by storm. This wave of specialized insurance companies have thrown out the rule books and created packages that allow nomads to travel and work without worry. Here, at Digital Nomad World, we’re no strangers to global travel and all of the pitfalls that can come with it. For the past year, we’ve taken a look at some of the best nomads’ insurance offerings out there, and picked out the best Nomad Travel and insurance company you should be looking at for all of your travel and medical insurance needs while on the road. Top Recommended Health & Travel Insurance for Nomads PassportCard ( www.passportcardnomads.com ) These guys are offering something a little revolutionary in the world of nomads insurance. Gone are the days when you were required to pay out of your pocket for trips to the doctors when abroad, and then had to spend your time claiming your cash back from your insurance company. Instead, PassportCard is quite simply a Visa card that you use to pay for any medical treatment upfront, no more waiting on your insurance company to pay out. Rather than conventional insurance, this is pretty much a debit card meaning you won’t be limited to what medical providers you use. The process is extremely simple: If you need help with medical expenses, get in touch with PassportCard; they will load your red card with money and then you just pay for whatever medical expenses need paying for. This is not normal expats or nomads’ insurance in the slightest, and for that reason it’s probably one of the best offerings for globe trotters right now. You can even buy it while abroad -tailor-make your plan to suit your trip and extend or cancel at any time, anywhere in the world. Plans start from $59 per month. Why did we choose PassportCard as the best Nomad Insurance? With its bold website and colorful design, PassportCard ticks a lot of boxes for those who want an affordable yet comprehensive nomads’ insurance option. Billing themselves as “a global social safety net”, PassportCard offers everything from a simple baseline insurance coverage to the most comprehensive insurance packages. This digital nomad-specific insurance gives you coverage for unforeseen injuries or illness while you’re abroad which includes any stays at a hospital or visits to a doctor. Travel disruption such as lost luggage, unplanned overnight stays, and emergency evacuation from things like flooding is also taken care of. The company has been backed up by a string of good reviews from digital nomads who have used their flexible policy to make sure their trip runs as smoothly as possible. The easy subscription model is something that ticks a lot of boxes for many looking for nomads’ insurance. Simply log on and get covered. Nomad and Expat Insurance Final Thoughts Though it may be more expensive than other companies, for the money you spend, you get excellent protection from a company that provides a reliable service. The founders of the company are nomads themselves, so you can trust that they know what they need to deliver in terms of insurance for digital nomads. These guys don’t just cover digital nomads, but also travelers, remote workers, and even expats. All in all, PassportCard feels like a much more grown-up option for your nomads insurance. Along with all the other perks, they also offer plans for families and couples. The benefits of opting for PassportCard nomads’ insurance with this particular company include a secure VPN for checking your bank account, access to airport lounges for late flights, and an emergency response team for those events when time is of the essence. They even offer virtual counseling sessions to keep your mental health in check after spending time alone on the road, something which could really help to make your life as an expat or nomad much more comfortable.

Passwordless Is All The Rage — But There Are Considerations To Be Made

BIO-key International, Inc.

It has long been known that passwords are vulnerable to hacking. Organizations around the world have acknowledged this risk over the years by introducing more stringent controls around password security and by creating awareness among their staff. Despite the rising awareness of the risks associated with weak passwords, data breaches have revealed that not enough attention is paid to the creation of secure passwords –- the most popular passwords around the world are still passwords like “password” and “123456.” According to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), 579 attacks to hack a password occur every second, which adds up to a monumental 18 billion attacks per year. But many common practices for making passwords stronger through complex requirements like including symbols, case sensitivity, and disallowing previous passwords only make it harder on users. Passwords become incredibly inconvenient to create, remember and manage across the various accounts a person owns. Because using passwords can create a poor user experience, many people often end up ignoring even basic password protocols – leaving themselves and their organizations defenseless against phishing schemes, brute-force attacks, and other tactics cybercriminals use to hack passwords. Is Passwordless Authentication The Solution? An ideal scenario seemingly might be one where no passwords are required, and several alternative options have emerged for the passwordless authentication of users. While many people and companies focus on the convenience of going passwordless, the security considerations of passwordless authentication are often overlooked. The most commonly used passwordless authentication methods focus on replacing the password as a single method, or as one of the methods used for multi-factor authentication. Authentication methods that are most commonly used are either possession factors, which require the person to use a smartphone or hardware token, or device-based biometrics, such as Apple Touch ID or Windows Hello. These options present their own challenges. Possession factors, such as smartphones or hardware tokens can be stolen, shared, lost, or damaged, resulting in users being locked out or allowing unauthorized access. And the costs and investment in purchasing multiple tokens or separate mobile devices with data plans for staff could be very high for large organizations. Not to mention there are large portions of people who do not have access to a smartphone. Finally, there are scenarios that make these factors implausible to use. For example, manufacturing floors, contact centers, banking locations, and others have people working who need to authenticate but where it may not be safe or practical for them to carry an additional device. Identity-Bound Biometrics Removes the Need for Phones and Tokens One method of passwordless authentication that could effectively address these challenges is the use of I dentity-Bound Biometrics (IBB) for access management, which is offered by cyber security companies like BIO-key International Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI). Identity-bound biometrics creates a centralized unique biometric identity that can be used to verify a person anywhere. Some of the most common identity-bound biometric authentication methods are fingerprint scans, palm scans, face scans, iris scans, and voice recognition. Passwordless authentication with IBB can be as simple as the scan of a finger at any device in any location, making it a safe, efficient, cost-effective, and secure option for a range of common use cases, including shared workstations, remote access, and scenarios where mobile devices are not permitted such as manufacturing floors and contact centers as mentioned previously. BIO-key says its IBB process centrally stores biometric data in a nonreversible way to create a unique biometric identity for each user to verify the person taking action, which serves to establish trust and accountability based on a person's biometric identity. The benefits of using IBB include: Positively identifying the user intended to gain access Auditability of activities through a log that records all logins and tracks users' system access Ease of use with a quick and easy user experience requiring only single-touch authentication for a passwordless login Reduced overall cost by installing just one fingerprint scanner per desktop as a one-time investment as opposed to multiple tokens or mobile devices IBB is part of BIO-key's unified identity and access-management platform PortalGuard, which provides a range of authentication methods as part of its robust multi-factor authentication, as well as single sign-on and self-service password reset capabilities. PortalGuard is the only platform on the market that offers all these business-critical solutions using identity-bound biometrics as a key differentiator when it comes to implementing stronger authentication, according to Bio-key. To learn more about BIO-key’s IBB passwordless authentication products visit its website. BIO-key is revolutionizing authentication and cybersecurity with biometric-centric, multi-factor identity and access management (IAM) software managing millions of users. Its cloud-based PortalGuard IAM solution provides cost-effective, easy to deploy, convenient and secure access to devices, information, applications, and high-value transactions.

Investing In Precious Metals? Check Out Coins Issued For 2023

APMEX

While collecting coins or numismatics is one of the oldest hobbies in the world, investing in them for their value as precious metals can be lucrative. The U.S. Mint is currently poised to release its 2023 coins, including the American Eagle series that will become available in the first few months of next year. American Eagle coins are admired for their patriotic design and trusted bullion content. The Mint launched the American Eagle Coin Program in 1986 with gold and silver bullion coins for investors. The program has since expanded to include platinum and palladium coins, and the Mint also makes proof and uncirculated versions for collecting. American Eagle coins give investors a way to add small amounts of physical precious metals to their investment portfolios. However, the Mint does not sell them to investors directly. Instead, they must be purchased through an authorized purchaser like APMEX. APMEX Offers Pre-Sales Of 2023 Coins APMEX offers more than 20,000 products — including gold, silver, platinum and palladium products — that it reports can generally be acquired at a lower rate than equivalent products from primary mints and manufacturers. The company’s best sellers are silver and gold bars, silver and gold coins from different countries and gold foil notes. In addition to American Eagle coins, APMEX is offering pre-sales for a number of others to be issued in 2023, including the Somalia 1-ounce Silver Elephant and the Australia 1-ounce gold Lunar Year of the Rabbit. Customer Rewards APMEX customers are able to receive rewards for their shopping through the APMEX Club. The APMEX Club gives customers expedited shipping, a dedicated account manager for phone orders and early access to flash sales. The membership begins either after a customer completes their second order or spends $5,000 on their first order. There are no additional fees, and membership tiers are determined by purchase and selling activities. APMEX also offers rewards to customers who sign up for The Bullion Card. Precious metals investors earn four points per dollar spent at APMEX and one point per dollar spent on all other purchases through the card. They can turn those points into gold and silver and take possession of physical precious metals through APMEX. Investors looking for a way to use The Bullion Card and earn the maximum amount of points while doing their holiday shopping can also do so in APMEX’s Best Selling Products or Deals page. APMEX is one of largest, oldest and most trusted sources for Precious Metals. Over the last 22 years, we have served over 1.3 million customers and processed over $13.5 billion in sales. We offer the largest selection of Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Copper items from investment- grade products to collectibles. APMEX has the prestigious title of Authorized Purchaser with the U.S. Mint. APMEX has over 155K customers reviews with an average 4.9 out of 5 rating. We also offer a wide variety of free educational content, charting and portfolio tools, and custom alerts and notifications on our website and mobile app to provide our customers with the latest industry news.
