                                    A proposed partnership between Ramp and Airwallex to strengthen Ramp's international payments capabilities reportedly fell apart in April 2025 after Airwallex investors pushed CEO Jack Zhang to compete with Ramp instead. Ramp co-founder Eric Glyman reportedly tried to salvage the deal and later warned that the relationship between the two fintechs could become less friendly as they moved toward more direct competition.
                                &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;

                                    Barclays plans to eliminate roughly 5,000 positions, about 5% of its workforce, as automation and AI reduce support costs, with developers among the functions most affected. The bank has already cut around 1,000 roles and booked £201 million in third-quarter restructuring charges.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

                                    CEO Steve Squeri framed the restructuring as a way to remove management layers and speed up decisions, without directly attributing the job cuts to automation. The company is also automating expense reports, preparing a payroll system for early 2027, and developing protections for purchases made by AI agents.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

At the same time, Citi is expanding internal AI across onboarding, document processing, client chat, and embedded banking, showing a split strategy: move quickly with controlled in-house AI, but slowly with third-party agents that can take financial actions.
