What is Embedded Banking?

Embedded banking involves integrating traditional banking services—think checking accounts and debit cards—within a third-party’s platform and apps, using APIs. 

At Embed, it’s our aim to provide embedded finance experiences your customers will love. 

Embedded Banking Isn’t Just for FinTechs and Banks

Any business that’s involved in payment flows can benefit from embedded finance. Doing so can help your company truly own the payment process and gain competitive advantage. 

Perhaps your current product offering isn’t doing enough to help your business stand out. Why? Because in today’s digital world, people want more from companies. And a seamless banking experience is no exception. 

Popular brands are building customer trust and loyalty by adapting to the ever-changing expectations of customers. As a result, consumers now know that a frictionless customer experience is possible. Consumers now want greater choice, speed, and relevance across every touchpoint with a brand. 

When it comes to banking and other financial services, consumers want to complete transactions efficiently with fewer touchpoints involved. They want a personalized experience that doesn’t require them to answer tons of questions, and greater visibility without having to jump through hoops to achieve it. 

Unfortunately, many consumers aren’t getting what they want. When they conduct financial transactions, friction often occurs, which can hurt the user experience. 

​At Embed, our goal is to help brands, as well as product and service providers, do more than just enable financial transactions—we want to help them provide their customers with seamless digital experiences with little to no friction. 

Tailor Fit Your Financial Suit With Embed

Our platform allows you to customize your banking experience. You can choose from existing modules or work with our experts to design your own tailored platform. With our flexible API, you can deliver a personalized customer experience by creating unique features that work for your users. 

Easily Build a Customized Banking Experience Within Minutes

Embed’s platform aims to make building your financial operations as effortless as possible. At the same time, you’ll also be able to curate a robust solution that meets today’s consumer needs and provides the experience customers want. Achieving this with a traditional BaaS platform can be difficult. However, our drag-and-drop intuitive software makes it easy as it gets to use and grow with. 

With highly customizable features, you can mix and match different products and configure the best solution for your business-model. You can achieve this with reduced costs and low time-to-market, while still maintaining efficient and secure operations. 

Dedicated IBANs Tailored for Your Operational Needs

Using our platform, you can enable transfers and direct debits. You can also open accounts with dedicated IBANs. You’ll not only have the ability to tailor IBANs to your operational needs, but also for your vendors, affiliates, and end-users.

Card Issuing

Get full look and feel customization with Embed’s card issuing services. You can create your own branded credit or debit card with your logo using Embed’s fully built and configurable embeddable applications. And you can do so within seconds, using our intuitive dashboard. 

Risk and Compliance Management

Embed handles all the heavy lifting of compliance and bank relationships, allowing you to focus your energy on building, launching, and growing faster. We can do this even within complex ever-changing regulatory frameworks.

You can rest assured that your financial solution is secure and is compliant with financial regulations without lifting a finger. We’ll handle all the KYB and KYC processes, including customer authentication, identity verification, and fraud detection.  

Lending

Whether you’re providing cash advances, or revolving loans, you can use the Embed platform to build a unique, customized embedded lending product with custom terms and repayment flows. Using our platform, you can immediately start financing your customers. 

Virtual & Physical Cards

Issue virtual or physical branded Mastercard and Visa Cards with the latest security features. Each time you issue a card, it instantly creates a virtual card number. 

This increased flexibility allows your customers to immediately link their cards to online platforms like Apple or Google Pay. 

And even though we believe the good ol plastic card will soon be a thing of the past, we also provide our customers with the option to order classic physical cards. 

Payment Control

Within our platform, you can customize features that provide customers with complete control over every charge and help them prevent fraud. 

For example, you can create advanced combinations of rules including limits, from the amount of a transaction to the currency used in the transaction. 

Spending Limits

Within the Embed platform, you’ll have full control over spending limits. By setting limits for each card in any currency, you can limit certain elements of customer transactions. 

For example, you can set limits on how much accounts can spend on ATM withdrawals or e-commerce payments over a given period of time. 

Benefits of Embed

Our banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platform allows fintechs, startups, and technology companies to transform their offerings to customers. Through our platform, you can integrate financial management solutions that actually work well together and deliver on customer needs.

In short, our mission is twofold—to help our customers better serve their customers with innovative, seamless financial solutions.
