Beyond the Checkout: The Evolution of Embedded BNPL
If you’re even slightly plugged into the Fintech world, you’ve likely come across the buzz around BNPL and embedded finance. But have you encountered the term embedded BNPL? It’s easy to see why there might be some confusion. Sure, BNPL is often about embedding financing options directly into merchant checkout platforms – either online or offline, so in a way, it does seem naturally “embedded,” right? And yeah, you’re not wrong.
BNPL providers like Affirm are taking things a step further in embedding BNPL on multiple platforms. The new frontier includes embedded BNPL on consumer platforms and SaaS platforms used by businesses. This multi-pronged approach has the potential to exponentially scale BNPL distribution, making it a powerful force driving transactions across industries.Â
