A famous FinTech entrepreneur once observed, when asked about the effect of regulation on his company, that the Bank's headwinds are our tailwinds! Regulations are at the heart of everything we do, with examples; BCBS 239, CASS, MiFID 2, Dodd Frank & EMIR, SFTR, GDPR.
Candidates from Operations and Client Service backgrounds are in high demand with many of our clients in this space, especially those with the ability to apply their Banking and Markets knowledge in arguably the more challenging, innovative and commercial environment of Fin Tech.
At the heart of any FinTech is its products and services, however they cannot afford to be complacent in their approach to solutions development. The Markets and the regulations shaping them always challenge companies to improve, innovative and re-purpose existing platforms.
Most Banks have restructured their core infrastructure to position some functions into a 'Shared Service' model, to include Collateral, Tax Ops, Reconciliations, Brokerage, and Asset Servicing. As such, it presents an opportunity for FinTech firms to help improve efficiencies in this regard.
Candidates with Sales and Business Development backgrounds are in demand everywhere. All our clients have a desire to develop new business, to protect existing revenue streams, and to ensure their products and solutions reach a much wider, and more geographically diverse audience.
