Post-event report

Over the last couple of years embedded finance has evolved from being an initial concept to a proven strategy, transforming how financial services are delivered and consumed as part of our everyday lives. From the way in which we purchase our daily cup of coffee to socialised payments, the opportunity to improve the way customers interact with their favourite platforms and brands is vast.

To explore this topic, NatWest Boxed and VC Innovations, the architects of Fintech Talents, brought together a unique and diverse community at an exclusive event in London to discuss the questions on everyone’s lips including how to create an embedded finance strategy, the value of great customer experience and how effective partnerships are the key to success.
