Bahamas Election: Bahamians head to the polls in a snap general election that could keep Philip Davis and the PLP in power for a second term, with voting focused on healthcare, crime, cost of living and immigration. Identity & Banking: Visa has launched tap-based identity verification with Keyno and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas), letting customers confirm identity or activate cards by tapping their Visa card inside the bank’s app—aimed at cutting reliance on SMS codes and call-centre checks. Cruise Industry Shock: A Carnival guest, 88, died after reportedly losing control of a mobility scooter and driving off the pier at Celebration Key; police are treating it as a suspected drowning while an autopsy is planned. Tech & Payments: TransFi rolled out BizPay conversational cross-border payments through WhatsApp and Telegram for 65M SMEs across Southeast Asia. Tourism Buzz: Puerto Rico and Jamaica lead the Caribbean’s official destination social media race, while Aruba is named the safest Caribbean destination for 2026 as tourism hits record highs.
