Explore the true nature of embedded finance and how to capitalize on this shift.
I’ve been living in Australia for almost 6 years and it’s been clear since the beginning that this market made a headstart in digitising finance. It’s also currently on a good path to realizing its promise on Open Banking.
How did it do it? And why does it matter?
I’ll dig into the details next, but let me start with this: observing the Aussie market reveals a powerful undercurrent pulling the future forward for fintech companies. It reveals how banks’ approach to data shapes the type of issues they’re solving – today’s or tomorrow’s – and the vastly different outlook each approach shapes.
