Banks must adapt to embedded finance as it transforms commerce as we know it
Embedded finance, which refers to integrating financial products into non-financial environments to enhance the customer experience, has become increasingly popular. This trend has put pressure on traditional banks to adapt or risk losing customers to more convenient fintech alternatives.
