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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
