Demand for embedded finance soars amongst local SMBs 

SMBs (75%) are already looking to switch their banking solution provider.

The majority (75%) of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in Singapore want their baking solution provider for a like-for-like alternative from their software provider, data from Airwallex showed. 

According to the report, 72% of SMBs are willing to pay more e to work with a software provider that has all-encompassing financial capabilities.

In addition, 62% believe that software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms that offer embedded financial services can effectively serve their needs.

This is likely because most SMBs are sceptical that traditional banks can meet their financial services needs, with only 33% saying they have confidence in traditional banks.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
