Introducing the 2022 winners of Tearsheet’s Embedded Banking Awards

The nature of the financial institution is changing. Embedded finance turns every app, software, retailer, and business into a bank. And people are responding in kind — with the uptake of embedded finance, consumers are showing that they want to bank with the brands they love.

Tearsheet’s Embedded Awards are the financial industry’s top awards program, recognizing and celebrating the leading products and brands defining embedded finance and turning every app, software, retailer, and business into a bank.

The winners of the 2022 Embedded Awards were announced last week at Tearsheet's annual The Big Bank Theory Conference.
