The platform enables U.S. banks\nto offer banking services directly within the business software their\ncorporate customers use daily.\n\nCorporate customers increasingly expect to do their banking natively inside\nthe software they use to run their business every day, rather than switching\nto a separate banking portal. Embedded Banking Platform makes that possible,\nletting a bank's customers open accounts and move money directly within their\nexisting software, backed by bank-grade technology that keeps those\ntransactions secure and compliant.\n\nHow It Works\n\nBanks leverage Embedded Banking Platform from FIS, partner with a vertical\nsoftware provider or fintech, and embed their own accounts and payment\ncapabilities into that partner’s product. Corporate customers get an\nintegrated banking experience without leaving the software they use daily. The\nbank keeps the customer relationship. The software partner owns the user\nexperience. FIS powers the infrastructure.\n\nBanks can offer Embedded Banking Platform through APIs, SDKs, embeddable\nwidgets, or white-labeled applications, depending on the software partner's\npreference.\n\nWhy It Matters\n\nBanks maintain full customer ownership and regulatory control because accounts\nlive on the bank's balance sheet, not on a virtual ledger managed by a third\nparty, which also means simpler compliance, cleaner regulatory positioning and\nmore durable infrastructure. Instead of relying solely on their own direct\nsales, banks can reach corporate customers through the software those\ncustomers already use to run their business.\n\nEmbedded finance is moving banking into the software businesses use every day.\nFIS Embedded Banking Platform is designed to keep banks central to that shift,\nextending the reach of banks across the full money lifecycle, from the\ndeposits and accounts they hold to the payments they move and the capital they\nput to work, wherever their customers choose to bank.\n\n\"Banks' customers want banking built into the software they use to run their\nbusiness every day,\" said Jon Briggs, Global Head of Embedded Solutions and\nMoney Movement at FIS. \"Embedded Banking Platform lets banks meet those\nexpectations and stay at the center of the relationship, while maintaining the\nregulatory control and customer ownership that define traditional banking.\"\n\nAbout FIS\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fisglobal.com%2Fabout-us&esheet=54598440&newsitemid=20260903578927&lan=en-US&anchor=About+FIS&index=1&md5=fc9c7fd5b91f7df8f1efb03695096863)\n\nFIS is a financial technology company providing solutions to financial\ninstitutions and businesses globally.
