The story

Rabobank, a Dutch cooperative bank rooted in agri-food lending, has repositioned as an embedded-finance provider through its Rabo Embedded Services line — exposing payments, account information, financing, insurance, and identity APIs to partner platforms. PSD2 and open banking are the strategic driver, with SME lending (e.g. Bol.com Flexible Financing, Banxware partnership) as the flagship embedded use case.
