Embedded finance is not a new phenomenon, but it has gained momentum in recent years, as the global digitalization of various sectors and industries has created new opportunities and demands for financial inclusion and innovation. According to a report by CB Insights, the global embedded finance market was valued at $22.5 billion in 2020, and is expected to grow to $230 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57%. Embedded finance is transforming various sectors and industries, such as e-commerce, mobility, health care, education, and entertainment, by creating new value propositions and business models for platform providers and financial service providers, as well as enhancing customer experience and loyalty.

It enables seamless and contextual access to financial products and services for customers, while creating new revenue streams and competitive advantages for platform providers.
