Zafin signs definitive agreement to acquire Naehas

 Proposed acquisition brings offer management, disclosure automation and marketing compliance technology into Zafin's expanding portfolio of AI-powered platforms for regulated institutions

TORONTO and PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zafin, the AI platform company for regulated institutions, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Naehas, a provider of offer management, disclosure automation and marketing compliance technology serving many leading financial institutions in the United States. 

The proposed acquisition is expected to expand Zafin's platform capabilities as the company builds a broader portfolio of AI-enabled technology for regulated institutions.

"AI is not simply changing how regulated institutions operate, it is redefining the technology foundations they need to create, govern and deliver lasting value to their customers," said Charbel Safadi, CEO of Zafin. "Our strategy is to build the trusted platforms that help institutions lead through this transition with greater intelligence, control and accountability. Naehas brings proven capabilities across marketing, offers and compliance that complement this vision. Signing this agreement marks an important step toward expanding what Zafin can enable for regulated institutions."

The proposed acquisition reflects a broader shift underway across financial services. Product, pricing, marketing, offers and compliance are becoming increasingly interconnected as institutions seek to respond faster to customer needs while maintaining the controls required in regulated environments.

Zafin has been expanding its technology portfolio around that challenge. Its platforms today address governed agentic execution through Zafin AIOS, AI-powered banking execution through the Zafin Banking Platform, and enterprise integration through the Zafin IO platform. The acquisition of Naehas would deepen and extend that portfolio with established offer management, disclosure automation and marketing compliance technology, creating new opportunities to serve financial institutions and, over time, other regulated industries.    

"The cost and time required to execute an offer determine how many growth opportunities an institution can pursue," said Rab Govil, Founder and CEO of Naehas. "We built Naehas to change those economics. Together with Zafin, we have an opportunity to turn relationship pricing into offers that reach customers faster, increase share of wallet, and improve relationship profitability."    

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals. Until closing, Zafin and Naehas will continue to operate as independent companies.

Zafin signs definitive agreement to acquire Naehas

PALEMBANG, Indonesia, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Changhong Indonesia has opened its first dedicated retail store in Palembang, Indonesia. Featuring room-style displays of TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines, the store demonstrates how these appliances work together. This format offers consumers an intuitive way to browse and compare products, while establishing a strategic foothold for Changhong to expand its regional presence and advance its whole-home appliance strategy.

Vaclav Lian, general manager of Changhong Indonesia, said at the opening event, "The Palembang store marks an important milestone in Changhong's growth in Indonesia. We hope it will bring us closer to local consumers and demonstrate how our products can be part of everyday life. We will continue expanding our retail network and aligning it more closely with consumer needs."

On opening day, shoppers explored multi-category displays designed around diverse household needs. Moving beyond traditional single-product retail, the store unites Changhong's broad portfolio to help customers shift from buying individual appliances to designing a fully outfitted home.

Since entering the Indonesian market in 1998, Changhong has expanded its local operations and built a solid local foundation through the quality of its products and after-sales service. The new store turns that established product and distribution base into a direct retail experience built around the Changhong brand.

As the first of its kind for Changhong in Indonesia, the new Palembang location gives shoppers a hands-on space to explore products, while providing Changhong with a stronger platform to present its brand and showcase the breadth of its portfolio. The store significantly expands the company's physical retail presence in Indonesia and will serve as a model for future stores tailored to demand in different parts of the country.

From selling through established retail channels to opening a store of its own, Changhong is moving beyond market coverage to create a deeper brand experience in Indonesia. Its growing e-commerce business has helped the company expand its reach and connect with more shoppers. By pairing digital marketing and customer acquisition with hands-on in-store experiences, Changhong is creating a stronger link between its online and physical channels. Looking ahead, the company plans to broaden its reach across Indonesia, giving shoppers greater choice and convenience as well as more ways to discover and buy its appliances, while building both its brand and its business.
