Banking
The pace of change within banking has accelerated during the past few years, and we anticipate a continued rate of change in this area.
An uncertain political environment, fast technological development and an accelerating need for financial crime prevention, combined with a changing regulatory and supervisory environment and an increased focus on ESG aspects and healthy long-term risk management suggests a challenging future ahead. Achieving a successful banking business requires ensuring a sound future state from a GRC standpoint.
At Advisense we work in close cooperation with our clients, allowing us to be proactive and act as catalysts, ensuring successful implementation. Together, our combined experience and subject matter expertise enables both deeper insights and cater for better investments and results. We take pride in focusing on the development of the whole banking market which means we’re working with all sizes of banks. We help new entrants into the market through assistance in application processes alongside taking on functions on managed services basis which ensures necessary competences and a streamlined organizational setup. For established players we provide a full-service toolbox within the GRC field.
Asset Management
We offer our clients a cost-effective asset management and/or trade execution, as well as the infrastructure to properly manage your business.
Our licensed fund management company is authorized to manage UCITS- and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). We can offer various comprehensive solutions based on our clients’ needs where the overall infrastructure, admin, risk management and/or asset managers around the funds is managed by specialists.
Our solutions entail cost efficiency and enabling clients to focus on their revenue-generating core business, i.e. asset management, distribution and sales. We lower the risk for the client beneath the levels if the client would run the fund themselves. We also handle more specific parts of the clients’ operations, such as risk management and reporting.
Providing a comprehensive solution, we can help you with all the elements required to run financial activities, such as outsourcing, authorities, governance, processes, as well as risk and compliance matters.
Payments
As the payments market is being digitalized, the number of different types of payment services has increased, and with that the number of payment service providers. Today, there are multiple alternatives for digital payments. Using the mobile phone for payments is increasingly popular in the quest of simplifying money transfers from one to another. Simultaneously, we see initiatives being launched regarding large payment infrastructures, aiming to make both instant and batch transfers go faster and cross border.
At Advisense we pair deep knowledge about different types of payment solutions with GRC subject matter expertise. Within a complex area such as payments, it is our firm belief that it’s not enough to be a GRC subject matter expert. To add value to our customers within payment services we must also have profound knowledge within the field of payments in general and about the different payment services in particular.
Over the years, Advisense has supported numerous payment service providers across Europe within governance, risk and compliance matters. We help card issuers and acquirers, digital wallets, payment facilitators and processors to stay ahead of the regulatory pressure and excel within the field of governance, risk and compliance.
Market Infrastructure
The Fintech area of the financial industry is encompassed by a diverse and fast-growing market of innovators, new thinkers and disrupters with a common idea of making the financial service industry faster, smoother and more digital.
Fintech actors encompass the entire industry, capturing payments and transfers, lending, investment and trading, cloud services and SaaS, crowd funding, blockchain and more. The actors vary from smaller start-ups to international banks and are often in one way or another regulated and under supervision.
We have noted that these companies need a partner that has insight into financial rules but also a deep understanding of the products themselves, and their new and updated business models and processes. Advisense has practical experience of the challenges that both the business and the control organization face and are familiar to industry practices.
We are proud to be a part of redefining the finance industry, supporting fintech and open banking innovation.
