REQUEST SAMPLE:https://virtuemarketresearch.com/report/embedded-finance-market/request-sample
Embedded finance refers to the integration of financial services directly into non-financial digital platforms, allowing users to access payments, loans, insurance, or investment products seamlessly at the point of need. Examples include Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options on e-commerce platforms, digital wallets integrated into smartphones, or insurance embedded into travel or healthcare applications.
Industry Overview
Embedded finance transforms how consumers and businesses interact with financial services. Traditionally, customers had to engage with banks or financial institutions separately to obtain loans, insurance, or investment products. Today, these services are available within the customer journey itself — such as financing during checkout, instant insurance while booking travel, or integrated payroll and working-capital solutions for SMEs.
Digital wallets, contactless payments, and in-app financial services have become mainstream, especially after the launch of Apple Pay and the rapid expansion of fintech ecosystems. The result is faster transactions, reduced friction, and improved customer experience.
Embedded finance is also reshaping B2B commerce by enabling automated invoicing, lending, and financial management tools inside enterprise software platforms. This reduces operational complexity and improves cash flow efficiency.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Market
The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a significant accelerator for the embedded finance ecosystem. While many industries faced operational slowdowns, embedded finance expanded rapidly as consumers and businesses shifted to digital platforms.
Key impacts include:
-
Surge in cashless and contactless payments
-
Growth of digital lending and BNPL due to economic uncertainty
-
Increased collaboration between banks, fintechs, and big tech firms
-
Rising demand for embedded insurance and healthcare finance solutions
In India, UPI-based payments and mobile wallets such as Paytm, Google Pay, and PhonePe saw exponential adoption. At the same time, SMEs and online merchants increasingly integrated lending, insurance, and payment services into their digital platforms.
