Financial services providers

Due to the complex interplay of the factors products, processes, partners and IT systems, financial services providers no longer operate exclusively as lenders. Instead, they face the challenge developing comprehensive solutions to meet market needs while establishing a competitive advantage at the same time. Knowledge and implementation of relations between and within each of these factors in the operating business has a lasting positive impact on value creation. IT as a key enabler of business operations is faced with the challenge of reflecting the requirements of the interacting factors. A modern, flexible and reliable IT is therefore a key success factor.

Our services for financial services providers

Changes in the market, such as rapid technological developments, internationalisation and increasing transparency regarding availability of information to consumers make it increasingly difficult for financial institutions to establish a competitive edge and foster stable customer loyalty. Today and in the future, the distinguishing features are the quality and scope of services as well as the flexibility of financial products and the connected service components.

As a partner for all matters related to innovation and transformation, afb offers a customer and project-specific mix of process, business and IT consulting, comprehensive business solutions and modular business services, projects, application and infrastructure management, business process management and outsourcing.

The modular design of the afb-CMS as well as its multi-language and multi-currency capability address the challenges of the future with a multi-channel approach. Standardised services ensure transparency and reliability.
