theverge.com Allison Johnson 2026-02-17 23:00:00

I’ve been testing this feature out for the past few weeks in the developer beta, and I’m pleased to report that it works, easily making it my favorite Apple Intelligence feature so far. That’s admittedly a low bar to clear — and it’s not quite as capable as Android’s version — but it’s a nice change of pace

“Is Qonto a real bank?” is one of the top suggested questions in Google searches about the French fintech startup. The answer is no, but it could change: Qonto has filed for a banking license in France, CEO Alexandre Prot revealed.
