Extra episode: Lenhard Hübscher (Riverty) on obtaining a banking licence, embedded finance, and scaling across Europe
About this episode
Lenhard Hübscher discusses Riverty's acquisition of a banking licence and its strategy in embedded finance and European expansion.
In this extra episode of Leaders in Finance, Jeroen Broekema speaks with Lenhard Hübscher, Country Lead Benelux & France at Riverty, about the company's recent acquisition of a European banking licence. They discuss why Riverty decided to become a bank, what the licence changes in practice, and why the company has no ambition to become a traditional retail bank. Instead, the conversation focuses on embedded finance, the future of Buy Now, Pay Later, and Riverty's strategy to support merchants across Europe. Lenhard also reflects on the licensing process itself, the choice for Luxembourg, the increasing role of regulation in fintech, and Riverty's plans for further growth in consumer finance and European expansion. ***Leaders in Finance is made possible by the support of EY, Mogelijk Vastgoedfinancieringen, Duna and Lepaya.
