MoneyGram Leads Global Consumer Protection Efforts in Money Transfer Industry

January 18, 2018

DALLAS, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MoneyGram (NASDAQ: MGI) announced today the launch of new global customer verification standards for all sends and receives. Among other requirements, customers will now need to provide identification before transacting with MoneyGram for any amount of money. With this initiative, MoneyGram is providing its customers with the highest standards of protection – above and beyond what is currently required by law and without comparison in the money transfer industry.

“To better protect our consumers and the integrity of our money transfer network, we are enhancing our policies and standardizing data requirements on every transaction globally,” said Alex Holmes, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyGram. “The simple fact is that global risk is on the rise and over the past several years we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into enhancing our compliance programs. To be as effective as possible, compliance programs require more information about their customers than many global regulatory standards currently require. MoneyGram has chosen to be a leader in consumer protection by being first-to-market with customer identification required at $1.”

As part of the improved security measures, in addition to ID, consumers will now also be required to provide their name, address, phone number and date of birth for every transaction, with additional data collection requirements for higher transaction amounts. Obtaining this information will allow the company to provide a stronger level of security and protection against AML and fraud risk for its customers.

The new initiative launched in January in the U.S. and the global roll-out is expected to be completed in early 2018. Customer identification at $1 is another example of MoneyGram’s commitment to enhancing its world-class compliance platform to strengthen the integrity of its service, reduce fraud and AML risk and enhance the security of its customers transactions.

2018 Catalyst Award Winners: The Boston Consulting Group, IBM, Nationwide And Northrop Grumman Corporation

January 18, 2018

NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Catalyst announced today that innovative corporate initiatives from The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), IBM, Nationwide and Northrop Grumman Corporation (Northrop Grumman) are winning the 2018 Catalyst Award. Transformational leaders of the Award-winning company efforts—all striving to create real change for women in the workplace—are set to receive their honors at the 2018 Catalyst Awards Conference and Dinner, held on Tuesday, March 20, 2018, at the New York Hilton Midtown.

“Thriving in a fast-changing world requires businesses to move toward more inclusive workplaces where power is shared by both women and men. It’s time for leaders to put an end to persistent gender gaps, biases and harassment—rethinking old definitions and rejecting traditions of inequality,” said Deborah Gillis, President and CEO, Catalyst. “By celebrating some of the world’s most powerful CEOs and leading companies that are building workplaces that work for women, Catalyst is showing what diversity and inclusion programs can and should be. This year, BCG, IBM, Nationwide and Northrop Grumman are commended for leading the change.”

This year’s Catalyst Award-winning initiatives include:

The Boston Consulting Group—”Women@BCG.” This initiative has increased the number of women in senior leadership roles and created a more effective work environment. It has been successful by targeting consulting staff at all levels through five pillars: recruiting and hiring, talent development and mentoring, work-life and flexibility, awareness and affiliation and external engagement. Importantly, partners and other senior leaders are highly engaged and accountable for many aspects of the initiative.
IBM—”Leading the Cognitive Era Powered by the Global Advancement of Women.” Since launching in 2012—during the appointment of its CEO, Ginni Rometty, and in the midst of global transformation—IBM’s global diversity and inclusion initiative has strategically and purposefully focused on technical women’s career development and advancement. HR and global business leaders partner to drive IBM’s diversity and inclusion goals by attracting and recruiting diverse talent, prioritizing leadership development and talent discussions and engaging as a good corporate citizen.
Nationwide—”Our Associates’ Success Drives Business Success.” This initiative is a comprehensive framework of programs enabled by strong senior level and board sponsorship resulting in increased associate-level engagement as well as better inclusion scores year over year, aligning with steady business growth. Women at all leadership levels—and in particular women of color—have achieved success as the result of the initiative’s strategic and intentional efforts to attract, accelerate and advance the best talent while maintaining a strong focus on sustaining an inclusive workplace culture for all.
Northrop Grumman—”Building the Best Culture, Leveraging the Power of Women.” In response to projections for increasing retirements and the lack of diversity in engineering disciplines, Northrop Grumman chose to position itself in 2010 for future growth by designing a comprehensive initiative. This effort—aiming to expand the company’s leadership pipeline with a specific requirement for diverse representation inclusive of women and people of color—has five strategic elements: leadership commitment, talent acquisition, work-life integration, employee development and building the future pipeline.

For more than 30 years, Catalyst has recognized innovative initiatives that accelerate progress for women. With the theme “Workplaces That Work for Women,” the 2018 Catalyst Awards Conference and Dinner bring together more than 2,000 attendees, including the distinguished Catalyst Board of Directors and Catalyst CEO Champions For Change leaders as well as executives from top global corporations, professional firms, governments, NGOs and educational institutions.

Ardent Mills’ Molinos de Puerto Rico, Resilient in Wake of Hurricane Maria

January 18, 2018

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Since Hurricane Maria’s destructive forces hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, Ardent Mills’ sister company, Molinos de Puerto Rico, maintained milling operations for all but about four days. More importantly, operations at the mill in San Juan expanded almost immediately to include day-to-day assistance for employees affected by the catastrophic storm.

Jon Stuewe, president of Ardent Mills’ Molinos de Puerto Rico, reports that, fortunately, the mill has no reported injuries from the storm, but many team members have faced significant losses to homes and property.

“We employ 100 people, and nearly 20 of them lost everything. One of our engineers lives in one of the only two-story, concrete houses in her area and brought 20 neighbors into her home as a nearby river flooded, engulfing the first level. One of our workers gave birth two days after the storm, when the hospitals were still running on generators, rooms were filled, and patients were marshalled into the hallways with many limited to just a bottle of water per day. Another worker was mugged and stabbed on the way home from the mill one evening,” Stuewe describes.

Despite hardships, in the storm’s aftermath, the mill community showed extraordinary humanity, hope, service, loyalty, persistence, compassion and solidarity and functioned as members of a big family working together for the same goal.

“The mill became a safe, consistent place for our team to be. We had the common goal to take care of each other, to feed the people of Puerto Rico and the hard-hit Caribbean region while serving our customers,” says Stuewe.

Emergency Preparedness
Puerto Rico is no stranger to storms, and each season, Molinos prepares by putting a hold on a leased industrial-grade generator, storing extra fuel and loading trucks in advance, which helped the mill ride out Hurricane Irma. But Hurricane Maria was different. Making landfall with winds just one mile per hour shy of a Category 5, Maria cut a diagonal swath through the island and left extreme rains in its wake, leveling much of the island and crippling services for weeks.

“We listened to our team members and got back to basics,” says Stuewe, describing how basics like water, food and clean clothes were so scarce that flying supplies in by private jets was the best solution.

To speed the response, Ardent Mills flew five team members from the company’s Denver headquarters and other network sites to Puerto Rico to help staff assess damage and take the steps necessary to resume operations. Engineers, millers and health and safety specialists lived in the mill with no power, no running water and no air conditioning.

“The team who flew in even had to deal with a bat flying around the stairwell where some of them slept. But seeing this team’s effort helped lift everyone’s spirits,” Stuewe recalls.

First, Ardent Mills worked to ensure the Molinos water system was functioning – especially so their team could bring water back to their homes. They put clothes washers and dryers on site, provided three hot meals a day, and even made a barber available. Without electricity, employees couldn’t access banks, so the management provided cash and fuel.

The rest of Ardent Mills’ community of 2,400+ employees also pitched in, contributing more than $25,000 to a GoFundMe page initiated by a team member and dedicated to affected colleagues. Ardent Mills is matching $40,000.

The New Normal: Recovery Continues
As 2018 begins and the Hurricane Maria recovery continues months after the storm, Ardent Mills’ Molinos de Puerto Rico continues to supply a large portion of the grain-based food ingredients on the island and Caribbean region with its corn, wheat and rice milling.

“I had the opportunity to spend eight days on the island in two trips since the storm. After my last trip, I was glad to see real signs of improvement that are happening faster than I would have thought possible,” emphasizes Bill Stoufer, Ardent Mills COO. “The local food industry in Puerto Rico did and continues to do a great job getting food to Puerto Ricans. While food is of key importance, we learned, it is about jobs, family and providing our team with a sense of normalcy for part of the day.”

At 90 days post storm, FEMA estimates that 65.4 percent of the island has restored power, and the potable water rate is at 86 percent of pre-storm supplies. “We are off generators now, but the electric grid is not 100 percent. Gas and food are still not back to normal supplies, and most restaurants are not open,” Stuewe describes.

“There’s no way to prepare fully for an event of this scale, but we have put new systems in place, like an ultraviolet water treatment system, that will help us have clean water supplies permanently. You learn from these events,” notes Stuewe, who shares that his biggest lesson was the resiliency of his team.

“When we weren’t operating at full capacity, team members were asking, ‘What else can I do? Is there anything to clean or fix?’ They appreciated having the mill to come to, and we appreciated their ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach to getting through this crisis together. It was a shared experience, and we grew together as a family, which we are celebrating,” says Stuewe.

Atrescine a new channel from Atresmedia Internacional is born

January 17, 2018

MIAMI, Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Atresmedia Internacional launches Atrescine, a new HD Spanish language network dedicated to Spanish cinema and aimed to appeal the Hispanic audience. This new addition expands the group’s range of international channels, which already includes Antena 3, Atreseries and ¡HOLA! TV.

Atrescine introduces itself to the Hispanic public with the biggest catalog of Spanish movies from every era and genre –over 7,000 titles—thanks to its partnership with Video Mercury Films, the largest distributor of Spanish cinema in the world and owner of more than 70% of all films ever produced in Spain.

The new channel will also have access to Atresmedia Cine titles, which closed out 2017 as a leading movie producer, taking in over 30 million euros from nine feature films and accounting for 31.8% of box office receipts for Spanish movies.

This new channel masterfully combines the best modern cinema with an excellent selection of classic titles to showcase Spain’s contribution to the seventh art on the American continent.

Javier Nuche, the CEO of Atresmedia Internacional, notes that the launch of Atrescine “is the result of our strategy of committing to a portfolio of complementary channels with high-quality content and a strong VoD component that solidifies our standing as one of the leading programmers in Latin America and the Latino market in the USA“. He adds that “the strategic alliance with Video Mercury, combined with Atresmedia’s strength as a leading producer of Spanish films and its in-depth knowledge of the market, will allow us to create a unique channel that’s targeted at a very wide audience, and overtake the strong competition already in place”.

Atresmedia Internacional’s offer will delight with movies that are already part of the history of film, from cinematographic jewels of the 50s and 60s to the biggest Spanish box-office draws.

As a result, Atrescine‘s billboard will feature great directors recognized at the best international festivals —Luis García Berlanga, Fernando Trueba, Pedro Almodóvar, Álex de la Iglesia and José Luis Garci—, as well as current and past actors, legends who defined an era — Sara Montiel, Rocio Dúrcal, Alfredo Landa, Lola Flores and Raphael–, alongside Hollywood stars like Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Jordi Mollà and Paz Vega.

About Atresmedia Internacional:
Atresmedia Internacional is the department of Grupo Atresmedia which composes its four international channels: Antena 3, Atreseries, ¡HOLA! TV and Atrescine. It has achieved a position as one of the world leaders in the production and distribution of content in Spanish, Atresmedia is also the private European operator with more channels and a greater number of subscribers beyond its frontiers, with an outstanding presence in all the Spanish speaking countries of Latin America, a well as the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa.
