Piermont Bank built its own proprietary API platform to allow companies to tap its embedded finance services, a market that is expected to reach $7 trillion in transaction value in 2026. 

The proprietary platform was built so the digital commercial “bank can move faster and respond with more precision,” founder and Chief Executive Wendy Cai-Lee tells Bank Automation News on this episode of “The Buzz” podcast. 

The embedded finance offerings from the digital bank, she says, are vehicles for:  

• Revenue;  

• Retention; and  

• Data.  

Piermont, founded in 2019, has $500 million in assets, according to the company. 

Listen to “The Buzz” to hear Cai-Lee discuss Piermont’s embedded finance strategy.
