Salary benchmarks
Our take
Embedded finance companies like Weavr develop off-the-shelf financial products that non-financial organisations can then build into their own services. It’s proven an astoundingly popular development in the fintech space, and for good reason: non-fintechs don’t have to build financial tools from scratch, so can grow faster, more efficiently, and more cost-effectively.
Weavr offers a broad base of embedded finance services, including bank transfers and card issuing, and also handles compliance and regulatory issues on the behalf of customers. Notably, Weavr has been quick to adapt to the rapidly shifting payments field, also offering a crypto point of sales service - and looking to develop into emerging areas like the creator economy.
This is likely to prove a savvy move. Embedded finance as a whole is playing particularly well with retail/ecommerce companies and the healthcare sector, and these are both areas in which Weavr has a strong presence. But there’s plenty of customers in this market from broader, miscellaneous fields, like crypto and like the entertainment industry. Weavr’s approach, to have a plug in for every business, will help it scoop up revenue as embedded finance begins to see broader adoption across these more diverse sectors.
