- How consumer-facing companies benefit from embedded finance
- "For consumer-facing companies, the promises of embedded finance are clear and within reach.
- To understand how these companies might benefit, it helps to think of embedded finance as a process whereby a firm integrates a specially tailored financial infrastructure into its business model, enabling customers to carry out transactions with that company in a self-contained, frictionless way – without involving traditional banks.
- As such, embedded finance products tend to revolve around individual, ‘in-context’ accounts that customers will set up at the [non-financial] business in question."
