The most ambitious customer-facing digital platforms in various domains, are now leveraging embedded finance to augment their business and become the dominant solution in their industry, and risk becoming obsolete if they don’t. 

All digital platforms, be it B2B e-commerce or accounting apps or HR tech platforms, can provide new and innovative financial value additions to engage customers and stand out from competition.

Embedding credit can help digital platforms in the following ways - 

  • Increase customer acquisition and retention

  • Increase sales and monetize a larger audience

  • Improve the product offering and stand out from competitors

  • Get valuable data to help understand customers better

And this is why we are launching FinBox Embedded Finance Platform. 

The problem

Providing credit brings many benefits, but, the real problem lies in the complexity of enabling credit. 

Enabling credit requires navigating through a complex maze of finance, technology, heavy regulations and customer behavior. This process could take anything between months and a year to come to fruition.

Here are the challenges that arise when enabling credit

Heavy upfront investments - Hiring a team that specialises in fintech, finance and underwriting

Product Development - Building an effectual product that can handle complex user flows, handle sensitive financial data, manage disbursals while ensuring great end-user experience. Your developers will have to integrate with various lenders, credit bureaus, and other services for user authentication, document verification, eMandate creation, etc.

Developing Multiple Partnerships - Setting up partnerships with various parties like lenders, credit bureaus, government agencies, etc.

Slow Go-Live - The go-live time for inhouse credit could be anywhere between months and a year, deterring your capacity to innovate and experiment

Regulations - Being compliant with regulations for handling sensitive financial data and money.

Maintenance - Continuous management of applications, relationships, and updating regulations.

Enabling credit involves too many partnerships, too many integrations, too many things to maintain. In short, there are just too many hoops.

The solution 

FinBox Embedded Finance Platform is a collection of customizable Mobile UI SDK and APIs that enables you to provide in-context credit offerings through a simple, yet powerful integration. 

FinBox  removes the barrier for offering financial services on customer facing digital platforms.  To embed credit, you need to build workflows, negotiate contracts, get approvals, and integrate with multiple partners. FinBox brings everything together in the form of a drop-in widget.
