This report provides a detailed data-centric analysis of the embedded finance industry in Netherlands, covering five major verticals: payments, lending, insurance, banking, and investments & wealth management. It covers more than 100 KPIs, including transaction value, transaction volume, average transaction size, revenue indicators, and financial performance measures.

Embedded finance in the Netherlands is evolving from payment integration to a multi-layered ecosystem that spans credit, insurance, and data-powered services. The interplay between regulatory maturity, API infrastructure, and platform adoption is accelerating vertical-specific use cases. Over the next 2-4 years, the Dutch embedded finance landscape is expected to deepen across sectors, with B2B credit, contextual insurance, and advisory-led finance emerging as focal growth areas. Regulatory developments - particularly around BaaS and data usage - will be key determinants of pace and structure.

Embedded Payments Are Scaling Across E-Commerce and Mobility Platforms

• Dutch e-commerce and mobility platforms are increasingly integrating embedded payment solutions directly into their customer journeys, eliminating the need for third-party redirects. Companies like Picnic (online grocery) and Bolt (ride-hailing) have built embedded checkout experiences that rely on integrated SEPA-based direct debit or card-on-file functionality.
• High digital maturity, wide adoption of iDEAL and open banking APIs, and the strong fintech ecosystem in the Netherlands are accelerating this trend. PSD2-driven API availability has allowed merchants to integrate payment initiation services directly into apps or websites. In addition, Dutch consumers show a strong preference for seamless, frictionless transactions over traditional banking workflows.
• This trend is expected to intensify, particularly with new digital-native verticals (e.g., healthtech, edtech, travel tech) embedding pay-ins and pay-outs. Embedded payments will also expand into BNPL, tipping, and rewards-based payment mechanisms, resulting in a convergence of transaction and loyalty layers.

Embedded Lending Is Emerging in SME and Retail Supply Chains

• Embedded credit is gaining traction in Dutch B2B and retail environments, with fintechs and ERP providers offering short-term working capital directly through platforms. For instance, fintech firm Floryn provides credit lines to SMEs through partnerships with accounting software providers, while Mollie Capital extends financing options to its payment services clients.
• Small and medium-sized businesses in the Netherlands often face working capital gaps due to seasonal demand or supplier payment terms. By embedding credit within existing operational tools (POS, accounting, e-commerce), platforms reduce the friction of traditional loan applications. The availability of real-time financial data through open banking and accounting APIs supports automated underwriting.
• Embedded lending is expected to grow steadily as platforms diversify offerings beyond payments. B2B marketplaces and SaaS tools will increasingly integrate credit-as-a-service models, and banks may shift from distribution to infrastructure providers in this segment.

Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) Models Are Gaining Regulatory Scrutiny and Commercial Interest

• The Dutch embedded finance ecosystem has seen a rise in Banking-as-a-Service providers such as Solaris SE (licensed in Germany, operating across the EU) and Swan, which enable non-financial brands to offer banking services. Dutch companies like bunq have also evolved into infrastructure providers, opening APIs to partners for embedded account issuance and payments.
• The demand for modular financial infrastructure among platforms - from marketplaces to travel aggregators - is driving the BaaS uptake. The centrality of Amsterdam in the European fintech landscape makes it an attractive base for BaaS expansion. However, increased scrutiny by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and De Nederlandsche Bank ( DnB NOR ) is influencing how fast and wide these services can scale.
• Regulatory oversight is expected to tighten, particularly on AML and licensing frontiers, which may lead to consolidation. Nonetheless, BaaS will remain a foundational layer for embedded finance expansion, especially in sectors like mobility, e-commerce, and insurance.

Embedded Insurance Is Entering New Use Cases Beyond Mobility

• Dutch insurtechs and aggregators are embedding micro-insurance into digital journeys across mobility, electronics, and travel. Inshur, active in the Netherlands through its mobility insurance solutions for gig workers, and Cover Genius, which partners with e-commerce platforms to embed delivery insurance, illustrate this shift.
• High insurance penetration, digital literacy, and e-commerce maturity are enabling insurers to distribute contextual coverage via APIs. Consumer behavior in the Netherlands favors bundled offerings that simplify post-purchase risks (e.g., cancellation, damage, loss). Partnerships between insurers and platforms have become a strategic route to distribute niche insurance without intermediary friction.
• Embedded insurance will expand beyond mobility into travel, event ticketing, and product protection. The integration of real-time data (e.g., trip length, purchase type) will allow dynamic pricing and personalized cover, intensifying market experimentation with new underwriting models.

Open Banking Infrastructure Is Driving Platform-Led Product Expansion

• Platforms in the Netherlands are moving beyond payment initiation to offer broader financial services by leveraging open banking and API infrastructure. Firms like Yolt Technology Services (YTS) are enabling account aggregation and transaction categorization, which can feed into credit scoring, budgeting, and embedded wealth services.
• The Netherlands has among the highest PSD2 adoption rates in the EU, and platforms are using enriched financial data to deepen engagement. Regulatory clarity around data sharing and a strong culture of data protection compliance have enabled platforms to experiment with value-added financial layers while maintaining consumer trust.
• Open banking-driven embedded finance will evolve from passive data access to predictive and advisory services. We expect wealth management, personal finance tools, and automated savings to be embedded within lifestyle, wellness, and HR platforms, as open finance frameworks progress at the EU level.

Competitive Intensity Is Rising Across B2B and Consumer-Facing Segments

• The embedded finance market in the Netherlands is moderately competitive but becoming more dynamic, with participation from fintechs, banks, infrastructure providers, and non-financial platforms. While embedded payments and lending are relatively mature, embedded insurance and wealth modules are still nascent. Sectors such as e-commerce, logistics, and SME SaaS are experiencing increased competition as platforms embed multiple financial services into core workflows.
• The intensity is being fueled by the expansion of European fintechs into the Dutch market and by local players developing vertically integrated offerings. Amsterdam's strategic role in the EU fintech corridor is enabling a high concentration of product experimentation and API-driven offerings.
• Competitive intensity is expected to increase, especially in lending and BaaS segments, as newer platforms seek to offer bundled financial products to users and partners. Larger non-financial brands may also enter financial services, putting pressure on fintechs to differentiate on infrastructure quality, compliance, and speed to market.

European BaaS Providers and Local Fintechs Anchor the Core Competitive Stack

• Several pan-European BaaS providers operate actively in the Dutch embedded finance space. Solaris SE (Germany-based), Swan (France-based), and Treezor are enabling embedded accounts, cards, and payments for Dutch and EU-based platforms. Locally, bunq plays a dual role - as a neobank and as a BaaS enabler with API infrastructure for third-party use. On the embedded lending side, players like Floryn, New10 (a Rabobank subsidiary), and Caple are embedding SME credit within accounting and ERP platforms. Mollie continues to be a prominent embedded payments player, offering financing via Mollie Capital to its merchant base.
• Fintech-as-a-service providers like Finom and Intergiro have shown interest in expanding EU footprints, including the Netherlands, targeting SMEs and digital businesses with modular embedded finance capabilities.
• While incumbent infrastructure players are likely to retain core partnerships, new fintechs may challenge their position by offering more customized or vertical-specific integrations. Banks may also deepen embedded offerings via partnerships or white-labeled tools to compete with BaaS platforms.

Regulatory Licensing Is Shaping the Nature of Competition

• The Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank, DnB NOR ) and the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) maintain a stringent stance on e-money licenses, BaaS compliance, and anti-money laundering (AML) obligations. This has led to increased scrutiny of BaaS players and partnerships involving third-party distribution of financial products. The PSD2 framework allows API access but places clear responsibility on service providers for safeguarding customer funds and data.
• In early 2024, AFM issued guidance on digital onboarding and risk assessment for fintechs operating under the e-money institution (EMI) license. Additionally, DnB NOR has increased its supervision of AML protocols among third-party agents embedded within consumer-facing platforms.
