AI is driving enhanced customer experiences in the embedded finance sector
Embedded finance, encompassing various sectors, is witnessing rapid adoption, presenting a transformative shift in the way financial services are accessed and delivered globally. Despite the promising trajectory, the sector faces barriers rooted in uncertainty. Challenges such as risks associated with departing from established business models, apprehensions about self-competition, and the complexities of collaborations stand as obstacles to widespread adoption. Yet, these challenges also present opportunities for innovation, with technology playing a crucial role in shaping the future of embedded finance.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a game-changer within the embedded finance sector, offering enhanced customer experiences, robust risk management, and effective fraud detection. Major platforms globally are already leveraging AI to streamline operations. However, the integration of AI introduces its own set of challenges, including transparency issues, security concerns, and risks on legal, operational, and reputational fronts.

The global embedded finance market is set to exceed EUR 6 trillion in payments by 2025, with the U.S. alone generating over EUR 20 billion in 2022.
