Capital Markets

Banks that operate in capital markets must address and manage an increasing array of financial regulations, with deepening levels of complexity. The Covid pandemic has further accelerated the adoption of digitisation and strategic investments in new technology and platforms.

New entrants to the market can exploit purpose-built digital infrastructure and focus on new types of transactions at far greater speed than established players. However - there is an opportunity to make the most of legacy investments to leapfrog the competition.

They are also prolific generators of vast quantities of data. Adopting a strategic approach to compliance means storing and managing data in a structured way, so that it can be analysed and used without requiring a major IT investment.

Regulations often require the processing and analysis of large volumes of data. The incoming Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, for example, requires banks to calculate and report their daily risk exposure, involving vast volumes of data across all asset classes, for both the standard and internal model approaches. This requires immense computing power and a RegTech approach to compliance.

If you need to enable better experiences for your teams and customers, it’s time to consider how you will drive your bank’s digital potential.
