Embedded Finance: Why Every B2B Platform Will Become a Fintech Company

Think about this: your B2B platform isn’t just a SaaS tool anymore, it’s quietly turning into a full-blown fintech business. Sounds ambitious? It should. Because embedding financial services into your offering is no longer optional, it’s strategic.

Here’s why and how this transformation is setting the new normal for B2B platforms.

1. From Software Provider to Financial Ecosystem

Today, platforms that once simply managed workflows are now offering payments, lending, accounts, and even insurance directly inside their product. This shift is described as turning from “offering only software to becoming fintech-enabled ecosystems.”

Why It Matters: When you embed finance, you move into the flow of money, not just the flow of data. That instantly deepens your relationship with the customer and gives you access to high-value financial margins.

2. The Demand Is Built-In

B2B buyers are tired of the “log-out, pay, log-back in” routine. They expect financial features inside the business applications they already use. One article points out that embedded finance allows business users to pay an invoice, get financing, or even insure a transaction without leaving their platform. Fintech Review

Result: Improved conversion, fewer workarounds, and higher stickiness.

3. Massive Revenue & Monetisation Potential

Embedded finance gives you new levers beyond recurring software subscription revenue. You now have payments interchange, lending interest spreads, onboarding fees, and virtual account fees. For B2B platforms, that translates into significantly higher upside; “new revenue streams, stronger customer relationships, and reduced friction” are the direct benefits.

Takeaway: If you’re still just charging per-seat or per-transaction, you might be leaving money on the table.

4. Data Advantage + Risk = Moat

Your platform already captures rich transactional and behavioural data: who buys what, when, how often, which partner pays late, etc. These are underwriting signals for credit, payment terms, and risk. Embedded finance allows you to turn these insights into profitable financial services, something traditional banks struggle to replicate quickly.

So: Your platform becomes both the workflow tool and the financial infrastructure behind it.

5. Execution Is Not Easy – But Winners Will Pull Ahead

This isn’t a plug-and-play move. Risks and operational demands are real, including compliance, underwriting, capital, and regulatory oversight. For example, embedded finance must comply with KYC/AML, payment regulations, and cross-border rules.

Hint: Platforms that treat embedded finance as a bolt-on feature will struggle; those that treat it as part of their core business model will win.

Strategic Checklist for Platform Founders

Embed payments & settlement inside the workflow, not as an afterthought.
Leverage your platform data to build credit or financing offers (net-terms, invoice financing).
Diversify monetization: interchange, lending interest, value-added financial services.
Align incentives: decide whether you carry the risk or partner with a bank/sponsor.
Invest in compliance, infrastructure, and underwriting early—this isn’t just “another feature.”

Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words.

Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that of the individual languages.
