Thank you Fintech Meetup for the opportunity to moderate a panel with some of the leaders in Embedded Finance. Biggest takeaway for me: customer acquisition and loyalty is certainly a big reason to embed financial products, but there is much more. It is equally about creating a better product experience, enabling consumers and small businesses to conduct commerce or obtain financial products that they otherwise wouldn't (or couldn't).

Banks: The Merchant Payments Opportunity is Yours to Reclaim 💳🏦 For years, banks have lost ground in merchant payment acceptance—but the game is far from over. As merchant expectations evolve and fintech challengers reshape the landscape, the opportunity for banks to reestablish their leadership has never been greater. By embracing embedded payments, data-driven insights, and SMB-focused solutions, banks can reclaim their role at the heart of merchant services. The key? Prioritizing customer experience, innovation, and strategic partnerships. It’s not a question of if banks can make a comeback—it’s how fast they’ll move. At Pollinate, we’re committed to helping banks unlock these opportunities and drive innovation in merchant acquiring. Let’s shape the future of merchant payments together! 💳🚀 Read more in the article from Flagship Advisory Partners. #Payments #BankingInnovation #MerchantServices #EmbeddedFinance #Fintech
