Overview
Embedded wallets let users hold value inside a platform: prepaid balances, earnings, rewards, refunds and — increasingly — stablecoins or digital assets. We build wallets with licensed e-money or custody partners, handling top-ups, transfers, withdrawals, limits, ledgers and compliance workflows, designed so fiat and digital asset balances can coexist when your roadmap requires it.
Common use cases
- Super-app walletStored value across services in one app.
- Gig economy earningsInstant access to earnings.
- Loyalty and rewardsPoints and cashback balances.
- Hybrid walletFiat and stablecoin balances together.

Frequently asked questions
Is a licence needed to offer stored value?
Stored value is regulated in many jurisdictions; wallets are commonly offered through licensed e-money partners. Seek legal advice for your markets.
Can the wallet support crypto later?
Yes. The ledger and wallet architecture are designed to add digital assets through custody partners.
What is the difference between BaaS and embedded finance?
Banking-as-a-Service is the infrastructure — licensed banks exposing services through APIs. Embedded finance is the product outcome — a non-financial company offering those services inside its own experience. We build both sides.
Do you support open banking in multiple regions?
We integrate with open banking APIs and aggregators across regions. Coverage depends on the aggregator and the region's standards.
