Most startups building embedded banking follow a familiar path: pick a Banking-as-a-Service provider, integrate their APIs, and build a custom front end. But NoCFO, an AI-powered accounting platform, took a different approach. Instead of building banking from the ground up, they partnered with Holvi, a neobank targeting the same customers, and white-labeled the entire banking product.
In this episode of the Embedded Finance Review Podcast, I’m joined by Teemu Karuluoto, founder and CEO of NoCFO. We dive into:
- Why partnering with a neobank made more sense than going the BaaS route
- How ICP alignment shaped their partnership decision
- What it’s like to integrate banking when you don’t have the resources to build everything yourself
- The trade-offs between open banking and direct integration
- NoCFO’s plans to expand this model to Germany
If you’re interested in the strategic decisions behind embedded banking or how to create a seamless experience for your customers, this episode is for you.
