As consumers demand more convenience, speed, and security from their online transactions, non-financial companies are seeing the opportunity to add to their service offering with white-labelled embedded financial services, tapping into the plethora of Banking as a Service (Baas) solutions that have emerged.

• How do banks and FinTechs currently view BaaS? What is the current market sentiment toward BaaS platforms?
• What are the weaknesses of current BaaS offerings?
• What transpires when a business attempts to scale when its BaaS provider does not have the necessary banking licences?
• How does being tied to a bank with legacy infrastructure impede on a business’ ability to implement embedded finance solutions? How does it impact the risk profile of a business?
• What are the benefits of working with a single well-structured BaaS provider above working with several FinTechs?
