“Can an embedded payments platform give retailers the economic and loyalty benefits of owning their own branded payment and wallet layer without building it in-house?”
Wedge is an embedded payments infrastructure company targeting retailers, enabling merchants to own branded checkout experiences, loyalty wallets, and rewards programs. The platform connects to 10,000+ financial institutions and positions itself as an alternative to third-party payment processors, allowing retailers to capture balance-sheet value (à la Starbucks loyalty) rather than ceding it to external payment networks.
