CEO Neil Chandler is featured in the latest The Fintech Times article looking at what is driving the rapid adoption of embedded finance: “Our research found that (52 per cent) of 25 to 34-year-olds prefer using financial products and services from their favourite brands over traditional banks, while 50 per cent will only stay loyal to brands offering embedded financial products and flexible solutions like #BNPL and cashback. For brands, the benefits of embedded finance are clear – higher average order value and average order frequency. Seamlessly integrated financial products that meet customers at the point of need drive conversion and revenue, as well as enhance loyalty and retention. For consumers, they get access to quality financial solutions, which gives them greater choice when they shop or do business.” https://lnkd.in/ed5-AJy6

Compliance is often dismissed as a business blocker, but our Chief Risk Officer, Kathleen (Cassy) Ramsey, believes it can be quite the opposite if organisations rethink the way they operate. Putting people in the second line of defence on deals from the start has been crucial for Aion Bank to roll out banking-as-a-service to customers, sometimes within weeks. She discusses how a focus on #compliance is helping #BaaS providers grow in her latest Finextra blog post. https://lnkd.in/efVEwCqU

#Technology, #Leadership, #Strategy, and #AI were the focus of our latest #AVTalks at Vodeno! We had the pleasure of hosting Marcin Mazurek, CPTO at Autopay, for an inspiring discussion with our CTO - Miroslaw Forystek. 🚀 Marcin shared insights on AI’s role in e-commerce, balancing risk with innovation, and how personal values shape leadership. We also explored his passion for technology, education, and a life-changing motorcycle trip to Nepal. AV Talks is our internal knowledge-sharing platform, where we exchange ideas and welcome external experts for fresh perspectives. 🔥 Marcin, thank you for joining us!

Really excited to share that UniCredit’s acquisition of Aion Bank and Vodeno has received regulatory approval and is officially complete! This is a culmination of many months and hundreds of hours of work across multiple teams, and ushers in a new chapter for our business. This is also significant because it marks the first big European bank to place its stake in Banking-as-a-Service. UniCredit believes the #BaaS model is transformational for the future of financial services, and their combination of investment and geographical reach will accelerate the growth of the overall BaaS sector in Europe. We will also power the expansion of their digital banking offer, as well as act as a sandbox for innovation for the wider UniCredit Group. Excited to officially be part of the UniCredit family! https://lnkd.in/e6XrURyd

With International Women’s Day approaching, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible women who lead, innovate, and inspire us every day. One of them is Ana Conejo Such - our Head of Finance Business Partnering, who shared what #LifeAtVodeno means to her: “To me International Women’s Day is a great opportunity to reflect on how important it is to work for a company whose values and everyday actions align with who we are and what matters to us. I myself grew up looking up to an inspiring full-time working mum who faced an inequitable work environment. Having observed her experience, I have always leaned towards workplaces that allow me to thrive in my career for who I am as a professional, regardless of gender, culture, or family status. I can proudly say that Vodeno genuinely embodies this. With remote work and flexibility at its core, it truly allows women like me to balance their careers and family life, empowering them to lead, contribute, and succeed in any role they may have. From the brilliant minds in the tech teams to the inspiring leaders who drive our mission forward, I have never been surrounded by so many incredible women breaking barriers and setting new standards in the world of fintech. Their resilience, creativity, and passion truly make Vodeno a great place to work, and I feel honoured to be part of it.” To every woman at Vodeno and beyond: thank you for your leadership, ambition, and the inspiration you bring every day. 💜 #InternationalWomensDay #Women #Fintech #EmpoweredWomen #Flexibility #Leadership
