Walmart's fintech startup OnePay is launching two new credit cards in partnership with Synchrony, replacing its previous relationship with Capital One, to expand its financial services offerings and serve more customers through a streamlined digital experience.
OnePay and Synchrony are partnering to launch a new credit card program with Walmart, powered by Mastercard, set to go live this fall. The program will include a general-purpose card and a Walmart-exclusive private label card, integrated within the OnePay app to enhance the digital financial experience for millions of customers, aiming to improve financial flexibility and loyalty.
A study by researchers at the Berlin Institute of Health and Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin found that participants with higher intelligence scores were only quicker when tackling simple tasks, while they took longer to solve difficult problems than subjects with lower IQ scores. In personalized brain simulations of the 650 participants, the researchers could determine that brains with reduced synchrony between brain areas literally "jump to conclusions" when making decisions, rather than waiting until upstream brain regions could complete the processing steps needed to solve the problem. The study sheds light on how the brain's decision-making processes work and why different people make different decisions.
