Is embedded banking on your product roadmap for 2025? If not, it should be—and here are 3 reasons why: 1️⃣ Embedded banking has become the new standard: If you want to stay competitive and scale, embedded banking is now a “must-have”. 2️⃣ AI and automation are now part of business DNA: When combined with embedded banking, these technologies provide insights and streamline operations through the likes of transaction or expense categorization, invoice reconciliation, and predictive financial modeling. 3️⃣ Sustainability as a strategic priority: Sustainability is increasingly a priority for both consumers and companies, and embedded banking can be a powerful driver of eco-conscious solutions. As we move into 2025, it’s important to deliver to this new standard; where banking features are integrated into the everyday user experience. This means putting embedded banking at the forefront of your product roadmap and leveraging its potential to shape the future of your business. Learn more in our article: https://lnkd.in/ediAjVjg
