December 2022 Embedded Finance News

This edition includes news about Griffin, Metro and Walmart as well as insightful reads about EF strategy, Starbucks and Social Commerce.

Happy New Year! I hope you had a good start into 2023 and welcome to the second edition of Embedded Finance News. I was expecting December to be a quiet month but I was so wrong! See for yourself below.

๐Ÿ“ฌ Thanks to the 23 new subscribers since the last post. Do you know a friend or coworker who is interested in Embedded Finance? Please share Embedded Finance Review with them.

I have done a few changes compared to the first edition. Most importantly, I changed the structure and instead of splitting the type of news, I decided to split based on geographies. Initially, I was planning to add a personal comment to each news, but decided against it to keep a clean and easy to read structure.
