Business Breakfast with Integrated Finance: How can I win in Embedded Finance?
12th September 2023, The Folly
We hosted a group of close peers in the embedded finance and payments space!
The topic of discussion over our hot bacon rolls:”From simple acceptance to embedded finance – how to differentiate in a commoditising payments market.”We ran a great breakfast event on #embeddedfinance with Daniel Cronin and the guys from Integrated Finance, discussing the issues Merchants face when embedding finance solutions into their offering (e.g. Credit, Bank Accounts, Open Banking, Insurance, etc.).Some key takeaways:👫 Merchants want SIMPLE so they can focus their attention on their business. The integration between FS provider/Acquirer/Merchant needs to be harmonious and seamless.⚙ Your Partners/Customers buy product functionality first. Solutions need to be highly configurable and easy to integrate.💡 Large Merchants are looking for customised solutions which solve complex business issues across money in (acquiring), money holding (BaaS), and money out (disbursements). However very few have an end to end view of how these can be delivered in a customised way.💲 Embedded payment and credit are likely to be the most attractive forms of #embeddedfinanceMany more exciting discussions to come on the topic to understand how merchants and acquirers can win in embedded finance.
