Apiture– Embedded Banking is a strategy for financial institutions to grow beyond the branch using strategic partnerships. Embedded Banking is when financial institutions are empowered to offer financial services through various distribution channels to meet members where they already are, including through partner channels. This allows banking to become part of broader, traditionally non-financial value propositions with benefits for the financial institution, non-bank partners, and members alike.
At its core, Embedded Banking is just taking banking data and functions, and putting them elsewhere to reach members and prospects in new digital spaces.

Access Softek, Inc. – Access Digital Conversational Account Opening is an innovative and engaging approach to account opening, offering a digital experience that mimics a conversation with a human account officer.
Conversational Account Opening engages the applicant in a digital process that flows like a conversation instead of a filling out generic web form. For the applicant, the conversational style interface is more engaging, more familiar, and feels less like an unpleasant chore the member has to grind through. For the financial institution, it provides more marketing differentiation and makes it easier to offer the right products and cross-sell in a less intrusive way. As a result, the applicants complete applications promptly and open more accounts with the right products, just as they would if they walked into a branch and talked to an account officer.
