Happy New Year! I hope you had a good start into 2023 and welcome to the second edition of Embedded Finance News. I was expecting December to be a quiet month but I was so wrong! See for yourself below.

I have done a few changes compared to the first edition. Most importantly, I changed the structure and instead of splitting the type of news, I decided to split based on geographies. Initially, I was planning to add a personal comment to each news, but decided against it to keep a clean and easy to read structure.
