Monument Re through its subsidiary Monument Assurance Belgium (MAB) has completed the Closing of the acquisition of the entire insurance portfolio and personnel of Integrale. All the preconditions for the conclusion of this transaction have therefore been fulfilled. This acquisition which fits perfectly with Monument Re’s growth strategy is good news for policyholders who will be able to benefit from the continuity of professional services. Integrale's staff will transfer into the Monument Group and be able to enjoy the advantages associated with a growing insurance company in Belgium and beyond.
On 15th December, Monument Re completed the Closing of the acquisition of Integrale's entire insurance portfolio and personnel. This means that the relevant assets and liabilities of Integrale's balance sheet were transferred to Monument Re’s Belgian subsidiary MAB.

With its in-depth expertise of the insurance market, Monument Re will continue expanding the activities of the Group, especially in Belgium. MAB is headed in Belgium by Koen Depaemelaere, CEO.

Ant International Partners with Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol to Expand AI Capabilities12.1.2026 02:15:00 CET | Press release
Ant International, a leading global payment, digitisation, and financial technology provider, is collaborating on the launch of Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), a new open standard for agentic commerce that works across the entire shopping journey — from discovery and buying to post-purchase support. UCP establishes a common language for agents and systems to operate together across consumer surfaces, businesses, and payment providers to enable commerce. So instead of requiring unique connections for every individual agent, UCP enables all agents to interact easily. UCP is built to work across verticals and is compatible with existing industry protocols like Agent2Agent (A2A), Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and Model Context Protocol (MCP). “For agentic commerce to scale, it’s critical for the industry to align on a common set of standards. We are proud to have Ant International endorse the Universal Commerce Protocol as the foundation for that future,” said Ashish Gupta, VP
