Banking as a Service (BaaS) is an end-to-end procedure that allows financial technology companies and other third parties to interface directly with bank systems via APIs, allowing them to build banking services on top of the provider's infrastructure and rearranging the financial services landscape. BaaS systems have evolved as a key component of open banking, in which banks make their application programming interfaces (APIs) available to third parties so that they can establish new services, providing account users with more financial transparency options. The seamless integration of financial services and goods into non-financial digital channels enables BaaS. Consumers are increasingly using these networks for services such as e-commerce, travel, shopping, fitness, and telecommunications.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has not given industries and companies time to prepare or protect themselves from any losses. The market scenario is ambiguous and can go up or down steeply, depending on the actions taken and the results obtained by the organizations. The outbreak has affected numerous industries around the world. It has contributed to either the closure or suspension of their manufacturing operations in most industrial units across the globe. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an immense effect on sectors such as aviation, banking, automotive, manufacturing, and food & beverage.
The IT sector has been substantially affected due to the rapid outbreak of COVID-19 across the world. Fluctuating consumer preferences and behaviour due to the changing pandemic scenario has considerably influenced the IT sector over the projected timeframe. For instance, in March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 as a pandemic, resulting in several countries announcing lockdowns. The pandemic has impacted the industries due to the downfall in the manufacturing sector and the shutdown of factories. Short-term disruptions caused accessibility issues and SME/corporate customers to scale back their operations. In addition to SMEs/corporate failures, the prolonged recession increased customer preference for digital channels and products such as insurance. A full-fledged pandemic would result in a large drop in demand from SMEs and corporations, structural modifications in customer behavior, and changes to personnel responsibilities and the entire operating model. A full-fledged pandemic would result in a large drop in demand from SMEs and corporations, structural changes in customer behavior, and changes in personnel responsibilities and the entire operating model. Owing to these factors, the importance of the Internet and advanced technologies has increased across the world.

The major factors driving the growth of the banking as a service market are the rise in demand for financial services and the growth in the presence of FinTech companies. However, the high costs of adoption are hindering market growth. However, the rise in demand for embedded finance solutions is expected to create lucrative market growth opportunities.
The rising adoption of BaaS in financial services is a crucial driver driving the BaaS market forward. The increasing usage of financial services such as banking, professional counseling, wealth management, mutual funds, insurance, stock exchange, treasury/debt instruments, tax/audit consultation, capital restructuring, and portfolio management indicates the increased use of digital transactions in banking. In recent years, the growing number of Internet services has fueled the digital revolution, affecting BaaS among mobile-based users and business owners adopting digital technology in banking sectors, including banking software, audit software and services. There are around 5,000 companies worldwide that offer APIs and bank-as-a-service solutions such as account opening, money lending, and cost management dashboards.
The high cost of adoption of this technology for various banking institutions has hampered the expansion of the BaaS business. Smaller banks, which already lack the capacity and capital to adopt new technology, will pay a considerably higher price. For a fully BaaS technology, the bank will need to invest in active IT software and hardware, including cloud services that can simplify BaaS operations. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is another name for cloud services (IaaS). Embedded finance is a term that refers to a seamless transition of financial services to traditionally non-financial services, allowing clients to access financial services while navigating a tangle of apps and third-party services.
