Financial Services Sector Industry Insights

Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management

Compliance has come under major scrutiny in recent years, triggered by escalating corporate guidelines with roots in the financial crisis of 2008. Regulators have introduced ever increasing numbers of compliance issues which organisations must conform to and bear the associated costs.

Technology

In the Financial Services sector today, the accelerating pace of technological change can be a creative force – but also a destructive one.
Every firm must embrace technology as it impacts every facet of the business. Artificial intelligence, robotics, big data and Blockchain are transforming the industry. Technology will determine which firms are the winners in a fast-changing landscape.

Customer Expectations

Both business and commercial users now expect a digital experience from their financial institutions. It’s about differentiated customer offerings, providing what customers want, when they want it, and how they want it, whether you’re a bank, insurer or asset manager. This isn’t just a matter of cosmetics. Organisations need to change their back-office operations to support it. And they will need to think differently about how to solve problems.
