NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 10, 2026--

Shift4, the global commerce technology provider powering the experience economy, and Bilt, the neighborhood commerce and rewards platform, today announced a partnership to help businesses reach new customers and unlock neighborhood spending power through Bilt Neighborhood OS™, an AI platform that helps businesses grow by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhood.

The collaboration will bring together Shift4’s payments, restaurant and venue technology with Bilt’s nationwide network of more than 8 million members, 50,000 merchant partners and 1 in 4 U.S. apartment buildings to make it easier for participating businesses to recognize customers, deliver relevant benefits and connect rewards right at checkout.

“Thriving neighborhood economies depend on people choosing to spend at the businesses around them,” said Michael Isaacman, Chief Commercial Officer at Shift4. “By connecting our commerce technology with Bilt’s neighborhood network, we can help turn the benefits funded by buildings, hotels and sports teams into revenue for local businesses, thereby bringing more customers through their doors and keeping more spending in the neighborhood.”

Unlocking Neighborhood Spending Power

Bilt Neighborhood OS connects residential communities, offices, hotels and sports teams with the businesses around them, turning investments in member benefits into local spending. The partnership aims to help participating Shift4 businesses:

Shift4 and Bilt are also exploring how team-branded loyalty programs could connect with everyday neighborhood spending. Fans could earn a participating team’s loyalty currency at local businesses and use eligible rewards at the stadium or other participating locations, making everyday purchases part of their relationship with the team.

For teams, this creates opportunities to deepen year-round engagement and develop new sponsorship and loyalty revenue. For merchants, it connects their businesses with fan communities and gives customers more reasons to visit, spend and return.

“A team’s connection to its fans doesn’t end when they leave the stadium. That loyalty travels with them to the restaurants, shops and neighborhoods where they spend the rest of their week,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “With Shift4, we’re creating ways for teams to reward that loyalty in everyday life, while helping local businesses turn those fan relationships into new customers and spending.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — Prince Harry urged tech companies to be more transparent about issues involving children as he and his wife, the former Meghan Markle, made their first public appearance on Tuesday since her father’s arrest on suspicion of possessing images of child abuse.

Harry spoke at the European Parliament in Brussels during the opening of a memorial to children who have died as the result of harm suffered on social media. The Lost Screen Memorial features replicas of oversized smartphones with the photo of a deceased child on each home screen.

Meghan, also known as the Duchess of Sussex, was originally scheduled to speak alongside Harry but withdrew because she was not “strong enough emotionally,” a person familiar with her reasoning said. She still accompanied her husband to the event.

The allegations against Thomas Markle Sr. surfaced last month. He appeared in a Florida courtroom on Friday charged with possessing child sexual abuse material. The 82-year-old has previously strongly denied the allegations, labelling them as “sick lies.”

Harry appeared emotional during his speech as he urged social media companies to avoid showing children content they would not show their own children. He also called on the companies to be more transparent and helpful to parents, particularly those seeking access to their children’s devices and social media accounts to understand what happened to them online.

“For many parents, even though their child killed themselves, they’ve had to wait years – in some instances, eight years – to get access to their child’s phone,” Harry said. “Because of the company’s privacy policies, the parents were blocked from finding out how their child died. That cannot be right.”
