How Embedded Lending is shaking up the Fintech industry and how October shapes it for its partners
Embedded lending is a relatively new concept in the financial technology (fintech) sector that has been disrupting the industry in recent times.
This blog post will explore what embedded finance and embedded lending are, why embedded lending is shaking up the fintech industry, and how October is implementing embedded lending for its partners and their clients.
What does Embedded Finance and Embedded Lending mean?
Embedded finance is a system that allows third-party organizations to offer financial services to their customers. It is a way for businesses to integrate financial services such as payments, loans, and insurance into their existing products and services without having to become a licensed financial institution.
Embedded lending, on the other hand, is a form of embedded finance that refers to the integration of lending services into third-party platforms.
This means that third party organizations, such as e-commerce platforms, marketplaces or mobile apps, can offer lending services to their customers.
Why is Embedded Lending Shaking up the Fintech Industry?
Embedded lending shakes up the Fintech industry by making it easier for customers to obtain liquidity for their business.
With embedded lending, customers can apply for a loan within the native environment of their online providerexactly when they need a loan.
By integrating lending services into their offerings, third parties (financial companies that do not offer financing solutions or non-financial companies) can create a seamless customer experience, increase customer engagement and loyalty, and generate additional revenue streams.
Customers find embedded lending services highly appealing, as they satisfy and anticipate their needs in a digital, fast, and simple way, all in the same environment.
Embedded lending is also helping to address the issue of financial inclusion. As a result, embedded partnerships are increasingly prevailing in the market, and October aligns with this general framework.
