Banking-as-a-service (BaaS) refers to a business model that enables third-party companies, such as fintech start-ups or non-banking enterprises, to offer banking and financial services using the infrastructure, licenses, and platforms of established banks. BaaS involves a seamless integration of bank services into the customer experiences of non-banking businesses through application programming interfaces (APIs). This approach allows companies to provide services like account management, payments, lending, and compliance without the requirement to become licensed financial institutions themselves.
The global banking-as-a-service market is witnessing notable growth due to increase in demand for embedded finance among businesses to provide seamless customer experiences. A recent study, the Next-Gen Commercial Banking Tracker revealed that embedded finance is estimated to reach $7 trillion globally in the next 10 years. In addition, rapid proliferation of fintech start-ups has significantly driven the demand for infrastructure that supports scalable and compliant financial service delivery. As a study published by Exploding Topics - the trends expert - there are approximately 26,000 fintech start-ups globally as of 2024. This highlights the urgent need for BaaS solutions.
Moreover, regulatory frameworks like PSD2 in Europe and open banking initiatives globally promote secure data sharing, thereby driving the adoption of BaaS models. As per a study published on LinkedIn, the number of open bank users is estimated to reach 159.3 million by 2024. Furthermore, increase in adoption of BaaS solutions by traditional banks to monetize their infrastructure, collaborate with fintech, and reach underserved markets is considerably contributing toward the market growth. However, high initial cost of integrating BaaS platforms, including infrastructure, API development, and compliance measures, can be prohibitive for small and mid-sized businesses, thus limiting the market growth.
In addition, increased dependence on APIs and cloud-based platforms makes BaaS ecosystems vulnerable to data breaches and cyberattacks, which hampers the market growth. On the contrary, advancements in API technology enable seamless integration of banking services into third-party platforms, reducing development complexity. Such developments are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.
