Speaking on the findings of the study, Intergiro CEO Nick Root stated that the closure of ATMs is part of a larger trend towards companies embedding financial services into their platform and products adding "as we move into 2023, we anticipate that the trend of embedded finance will continue to grow rapidly.”
