Our financial services expertise

Trends, such as evolving customer expectations and the entrance of digitally native challengers, are putting pressure on incumbent financial services organisations; from accelerating adoption of emerging technology, like AI, to transforming operating models for a new digital, client-centric era, and creating innovative products and services to gain a competitive advantage and meet the needs of a new generation of customers. Firms must also ensure they are complying with evolving regulations, strengthening their risk management and cybersecurity capabilities and achieving sustainable growth. We have deep experience working across the financial services spectrum, including investment banks, corporate and retail banks, asset and wealth managers and fund administrators.

Some of the recent challenges faced by our clients in this space are the growth of digitalisation, cyber risk and global financial crime for corporate banks, as they try to enhance the customer experience for their clients. Challenger banks and open banking opportunities have made the landscape even more competitive for retail banks, alongside the need to modernise payments. Complex regulation, the demand to update legacy infrastructure, ongoing cost and revenue pressures, as well as pressure to introduce digital asset offerings, are forcing global capital markets to rethink their strategy. In addition, asset and wealth managers need to embed transparency and ESG into their approaches and continue to find ways to reduce fees without hitting the bottom line, as investors become more cost-conscious.

No matter your challenge, our team’s industry-leading expertise, bolstered by insights from our global innovation network of entrepreneurs, startups, venture capital firms and accelerators, means we’re best-positioned to craft and deliver bespoke market-leading solutions with you and your teams. Connect with us today so we can get started.
