Swan

Let’s talk Carbon Footprint. 👣 It's important to our partners and it's important to us. Swan’s services are purely digital, with no physical bank branches, so we make less emissions from buildings and facilities than other types of businesses. But we can’t deny that our day-to-day operations still contribute to climate change. Because Swan develops banking features that power software across Europe, our services are far-reaching. This makes it especially important to take sustainability seriously. That's why we partnered with Magelan to measure, report, and reduce our carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Discover Swan's Carbon Footprint 2023 and the concrete actions we're implementing to improve. Click through the carousel or dive deeper on our blog! https://lnkd.in/eVnjRhmQ

We don’t lend this money to anybody else.” Some of what you'll learn: - How is BaaS different in Europe vs the US? - How can embedded banking help your company make more money? - Why Swan is not just a tech company.

“Every company will become a fintech company.” Is it a fairytale?🧚🏼♂️ Fintech was first about improving banking ops for banks themselves. Next, we saw challenger banks (Revolut, N26, Monzo Bank), providing significantly better user experiences. Today, fintech is dominated by the concept of embedded finance. Companies across all kinds of sectors are integrating banking services directly into their products, creating seamless financial experiences and new revenue streams. Indeed, embedded finance brings you closer to profitability. The team at Rauva (Portugal’s all-in-one Business app) knows this! We love watching their progress, and it was so fun to join each other on stage at this South Summit panel last week. Thanks to the panelists 🙏 Júlia Turbany (Country Lead - Iberia), Jon Fath (CEO Rauva), Maria Luke (@Uelz ), and Alexandra Chiaramonti (GoCardless), and Samarth Shekhar (SixThirty)
