International remittances are a lifeline for a number of households that depend on family members working in other countries to send money home. To ensure that money keeps flowing smoothly, transfer organizations must offer services that are convenient and follow regulations. In retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG) are capturing the digital shift in a dramatic way amid COVID-19, while the Philadelphia Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) has been focusing on experiential retailing and attracting smaller firms.
