Context

The financial industry has evolved significantly in recent years. For retail and private banks, as well as for insurance companies, these evolutions are marked by profound transformations that are the result of an increasingly demanding regulatory framework, structuring climatic stress tests, increased competition, and global health and economic crises, all of which herald new expectations on the part of consumers and employees.

In this context of uncertainties and geopolitical events, financial services must be prepared to meet the following challenges:

  • Make deep changes in development of business and distribution models
  • Integrate the customer at the heart of new business strategies and practices – “phygitalization”, “selfcare” while meeting customers and employees’ new expectations
  • Align with regulations (local and international) and conduct regulatory monitoring to maintain competitive advantage

OUR KNOW-HOW

In order to meet the new needs and requirements of this sector, Finegan supports all market players – banking (private, retail, specialized financial services) and insurance – in this transition, through the design, preparation and implementation of successful strategies.

The group supports its clients in their four major challenges: Market, Customer, Products and Services, and Regulations.
