As of October 28, the November dates are confirmed: Apple HomeView ($299 in the U.S.) ships November 13 after pre-orders opened October 13, and it is unavailable in the EU. The updated Wells Fargo Online Access Agreement takes effect November 24, and its Section 15 treats any agent-executed transaction as authorized by the customer without further verification, while the bank says agent use is “at your own risk” and that it does not monitor agent activity. Peak shopping runs from Thanksgiving on November 26 through Cyber Monday on November 30, so the first peak-season agent transactions at Wells Fargo will fall under Section 15 almost immediately. On readiness, 11% of small and mid-sized merchants and 19% of large merchants are agent-ready, while 58% of consumers research with AI, 17% are comfortable letting it finish a purchase, and 76% want a human review step before money moves.

- 3 Bank Stocks Raised Their Dividends 10% or More This Year and Pay Out Less Than 30% of Earnings
JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs each raised their quarterly dividends by double digits this year, while paying out no more than 29.6% of third-quarter EPS. JPMorgan lifted its dividend from $1.50 to $1.65 per share, a yield of about 1.97% at $338.87, backed by $15.3 billion in quarterly net income, a 13.9% standardized CET1 ratio and roughly $30 billion of excess capital; it also cut buybacks to fund lending. The article warns that current earnings are helped by unusually good conditions, so the payout ratio would rise if returns fall back to normal levels. Wells Fargo raised its dividend from 45 to 50 cents, a yield of about 2.47% at $82.33, equal to 26.7% of $1.87 third-quarter EPS, with net loan charge-offs at 38 basis points.

The move builds on a reserve-backed stablecoin collaboration with Early Warning Services disclosed in its 2025 annual report and a March 2026 trademark filing for 'WFUSD'. The bank also launched tokenized deposits on its proprietary blockchain in September 2026, with transactions reaching beneficiary accounts in two minutes or less versus one to two days for traditional cross-border transfers. According to a Yahoo Finance article citing CoinDesk, Wells Fargo is reportedly in talks with Payward, the parent company of Kraken, to secure liquidity for crypto trading.

- From November 1, Certain iPhones Will No Longer Be Able to Make Bank Transfers or Top-Ups Above VND 10 Million
From 0:00 on 1 November 2026, TPBank will stop supporting face authentication on iPhones and iPads running iOS below 16.7, which may disrupt some transactions.

- Here's Why Micron Is a Top AI Stock to Buy Right Now
Micron (MU) shares have more than tripled so far in 2026, and the author believes the company could repeat that performance in 2027. Micron makes NAND and HBM memory chips, key components of AI data center hardware, and it and its peers have already sold out their production capacity for this year. Management expects memory market tightness to be worse in 2027 and 2028 than in 2026, even though new Micron facilities begin coming online in mid-2027. The company is also shifting to long-term supply agreements with price floors and ceilings, under which 35% of its revenue through 2030 is already known. The stock trades at under 5 times forward earnings; the author says it could triple again if it returns to the 15-times level it reached in June, and views the current low valuation as a favorable time for investors to get in.
- Google Pitches Banks on Splitting Crypto Keys Across Clouds With New Custody Service
Google Cloud unveiled Google Multi-Party Compute, a key-signing service that splits control of a crypto key across several parties, such as a bank's own hardware, Google Cloud and a rival cloud provider, so no single provider holds the full key. The service is in private preview, with unnamed banks testing it and Alphabet using it for its Ethereum and Solana holdings. Customers set the signing threshold, such as 2-of-3 or 5-of-7, and a policy engine checks transactions against rules like spending caps; the article notes this verdict is advisory and enough signers can override a denial. General availability is targeted for early 2027 with no pricing disclosed, and the product puts Google up against BitGo, Fordefi and Fireblocks.
- Microsoft's strong quarter backs up its stock rebound. Here's our new price target
Microsoft shares edged higher after the company reported better-than-expected results across all key metrics, with Azure growth accelerating. Revenue for the quarter ended in September rose about 19% year over year to $92.28 billion, above the LSEG consensus of $90.69 billion, while adjusted EPS of $4.92 rose 32%, beating the $4.73 consensus. Azure revenue grew 48% to $33.17 billion from $22.38 billion a year earlier, ahead of FactSet estimates of about 44% and 45%.

The stock has gained roughly 51% from its late-June low through Wednesday's close and was up about 3% after hours.
