Definition
Embedded finance is the practice of integrating financial services directly into the offerings of non-financial businesses. This approach places financial products, like loans, payment processing, or insurance, within the native user experience of a company's website or application, making them a seamless part of the customer journey. The goal is to offer financial services at the point of need, removing the friction of using a separate provider.
For businesses, embedded finance opens new revenue streams and enhances customer loyalty and engagement. By providing convenient, contextual financial options, companies can increase conversion rates and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV / LTV). From a financial planning perspective, incorporating embedded finance requires careful modeling of potential costs, revenue uplift, and associated risks to accurately forecast its impact on the company's bottom line.
