In this episode, we unpack the real implications of embedded finance from a panel of global payment providers at iFS Expo 2024. From Asia-Pacific’s regulatory complexity to the risks and rewards of AI-powered experiences, we cover:

• Why embedded finance is different and more commercially mature than blockchain or open banking
• How APAC’s diverse infrastructure and “super apps” shape adoption and how to avoid playing in a 'walled garden'
• What agentic AI means for trust, autonomy, and ethics
• The rise of APIs and modular architecture as keys to sustainable scale
• Why proactive risk management and local partnerships are non-negotiable

🔍 Plus: Real-world examples from Shopify, Grab, Amazon, and more — showing embedded finance in action today.
