“Can AT&T leverage its massive subscriber base to generate incremental revenue through co-branded financial products (credit cards, device insurance) without building proprietary financial infrastructure?”
AT&T is a major US telecommunications company offering wireless, internet, and voice services. The embedded finance angle is narrow: AT&T offers co-branded credit cards through a multi-year collaboration with Citi, and device protection/insurance through Asurion under the AT&T Protect Advantage program. There is no evidence of broader embedded finance infrastructure buildout (BaaS, lending, payroll, etc.) beyond these two product lines.
