Banks, lenders and other financial institutions: lending and structured finance, security and collateral packages, payment and treasury structures, CRR/CRD and prudential matters, governance, outsourcing, compliance and AML/CFT, digital-asset interfaces, recovery and enforcement.
For banks, transactions, regulation and operations rarely sit in separate silos. A financing can affect capital, governance and enforcement; a payment or digital-asset product can affect licensing, outsourcing, AML/CFT and operational resilience at the same time. We help management connect those issues early so products, transactions and supervisory processes remain executable.
