The recurring mantra is that with embedded finance, every company can be a fintech. But that inherent purpose of EF promises the exact opposite. Companies do not have to become financial services providers in able to provide those very services.

“[Fintech] underpins the whole economy, people like hairdressers, for example, will use fintech for payments”
