In a recent poll during a webinar on embedded finance, 41% of participants admitted to not even knowing the definition of “Embedded Finance”. Of those who did know, almost two-thirds could not differentiate it from “Open Finance”.
This is a striking reality that an industry knee-deep in change is caught between adjusting to new terminology and concepts in financial information sharing, while simultaneously launching programs to develop solutions to support it.
Driven by demand to improve the customer experience — an overwhelming 61% selected this as the lead driver for change in a third poll during the webinar — financial institutions have no time to waste finding and implementing a solution that offers the best blend of flexibility for its customer needs and future-proofing for the company needs.
Ninth Wave has been at the forefront of this change for quite a while now and is actively helping financial institutions navigate the complex decision waters of “buy-vs-build” and “which vendor is right for me”.
If your team is currently exploring these next steps—like most institutions these days—reach out for some industry insight courtesy of the experienced Ninth Wave team.
