During Go Global week, Dr. Md Hakim Ali, one of our lecturers in Accounting and Finance, held a successful presentation introducing the concept, growth, and real-world applications of Embedded Finance.

Dr. Ali’s informative and engaging presentation provided a fantastic opportunity for a group task on ‘Designing a Disruptive Embedded Finance Solution’ for a chosen company. Students from the UK and the Philippines were divided into small groups, each functioning as a FinTech innovation team. Their task had been to conceptualise an embedded finance solution that seamlessly integrates financial services into an existing business ecosystem.

At the end of the session, each group presented their innovative ideas, followed by a Q&A session in which they received feedback on their concepts.

During the presentation and group work, the following points were discussed and presented:

– Embedded finance is transforming how financial services are delivered, integrating them directly into non-financial platforms.

– Embedded finance is reshaping the financial landscape, making banking services more accessible, seamless, and customer-centric.

– A growing number of businesses are implementing embedded finance as a core business strategy.

– Both financial and non-financial companies are leveraging embedded finance solutions to enhance customer engagement and drive revenue.

– Embedded finance is no longer just an add-on but a strategic priority for many businesses.

– Companies that embrace embedded finance early will gain a competitive edge in their respective industries.

– Embedded finance proves that banking can happen anywhere without relying on banks.

The presentation and group work highlighted the transformative potential of embedded finance and its ability to redefine the delivery of financial services. As businesses continue to adopt this approach, the future of finance looks increasingly integrated and customer-focused. By embracing embedded finance, companies can stay ahead of the curve and drive significant growth in their respective industries.
