Our latest research into embedded finance charts what the leaders in the sector are delivering, and what sets them apart from the rest of the pack.
So what are we seeing?
- 74% of businesses are planning to launch embedded finance solutions.
- Leaders in embedded finance are most likely to be in Payroll, B2B Fintech and SaaS.
- Although only 9% of businesses currently have an embedded finance offering, of those, 57% have expanded/upgraded their existing offering in the last two years, while 29% are looking to expand their offering, despite the economic downturn.
- 15% of respondents are already in the process of implementing an embedded finance offering.
Meet the Leaders, the Lingerers and the Laggards
Our survey revealed three camps of maturity.
Roughly a quarter are Leaders: those who have already launched embedded finance offerings to their users, or are currently in the process of launching.
Then there are the Lingerers: these are companies who have definitive plans for launching embedded finance services, but which – for several reasons – are yet to formally do so.
Finally, we have the largest group, the Laggards: the 50% of our respondents who have not yet launched embedded finance offerings, and have as yet no concrete plans to do so (though they may well be considering it).
