Paris, March 28 2023 – Treezor, the European Banking-as-a-service leader, has released the conclusions of its new White Paper entitled “Embedded Finance: 5 reasons to embrace it”.

The purpose of the white paper is to define the main trends in embedded finance, which today allows companies to rapidly integrate the payment function into their value chain.

#1: Improving customer experience

42% of online shoppers have already abandoned their purchase journey because of the complexity of payment validation. Offering end-customers financial services via a BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) platform therefore means increasing efficiency, thanks to intuitive and seamless applications they are now familiar with using on a daily basis. Every new entrant in the digital market can increase its value proposition by embedding finance in its customer journey.

“The payment part is not the core of our offer; nevertheless, it is an essential component of our value proposition. It allows us to stand out with strong added value,” explains Arthur Reboul, CEO of Leeto.

#2: Providing better knowledge of the market and the customers

Integrating financial and banking services enables data collection on customer profiles and consumption habits. Analyzing this data also allows us to imagine new services.

“Banking data is a way to characterize additional offers that our users might need, such as insurance or premium card offers. It’s a way to offer more services in response to our customers’ expectations,” says Tristan Leteurtre, President of Mooncard.

We have chosen to give the floor to companies that use a BaaS solution to understand the extent of the benefits offered by embedded finance.

#3: Allowing a more efficient and productive organization

Investments dedicated to digital transformation are estimated at $3.4 trillion in 2026 globally, compared to $1.8 trillion in 2022. In this context, the integration of financial services allows companies to be more efficient, for example, through ERP automation and management system integration. All businesses are affected, and companies are therefore moving towards more flexible and real-time management systems. This ease of management is largely supported by embedded finance modules that are seamlessly integrated into applications. This is how the “neo-banks” have emerged, thanks in particular to the development of BaaS platforms. 

“Shine is a fintech that has developed thanks to the deployment of Open Banking, in line with the two directives on payment services, DSP1 and DSP2,” attests Raphaël Simon, Managing Director of Shine. 

#4: Generating new sources of revenue

One of the great strengths of embedded finance is the interoperability of solutions, allowing it to expand its service offering. Aware of this strong potential, Treezor has thus integrated Franfinance’s API into its One-stop-shop offer, allowing it to provide its customers with a consumer credit offer.

“We are targeting fintechs and corporates that want to offer their own customers a turnkey credit offering, but have not yet reached the critical size needed to develop this activity,” explains André Gardella, CEO of Treezor. 

#5: Using a technology of the future

Far from being a static technology, BaaS platforms are constantly innovating and providing new solutions. The payments industry is evolving rapidly, and all players must be capable of responding to important challenges. One of these challenges is technology. For strategic reasons, some companies or fintechs choose to operate under their own license (obtained from the ACPR, an administrative authority in charge of the supervision of banking and insurance undertakings in France) but continue to use the core banking of a BaaS solution.

“As of April 2021, we are an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) and, as of December 2021, a Mastercard Prime Member. We use a BaaS solution for services that we do not want to insource. It acts as the link between issuers and banks for the payment part. This is a major challenge,” says Quentin Vigneau, Head of Product Payment at Swile.
