The platform economy has transformed how consumers experience the digital world, with dramatic implications for financial services institutions. Rather than going to the bank-physically or digitally-consumers and businesses want the bank to come to them. Embedded finance can help banks serve clients whenever and wherever a financial need may arise.
During this 15-minute coffee break session, we’ll discuss:
- Consumers’ readiness to bank on the platform economy
- Whether embedded finance is more than hype
- Where banks can remove friction to accelerate transformation
- How banks can elevate their role
