Why Spend Your “Change the Bank” Budget at ECL

Our fund control software suite for banks can help you meet multiple goals in a cost-effective manner.

Why Spend Your “Change the Bank” Budget at ECLAccording to industry experts, regulatory changes in 2015 have forced many banks to reconsider the way they do business. Specifically, banks are looking for ways to cut the fat from their operations in order to help cover the costs of implementing newly required data and regulatory reporting procedures.

Zhiwei Jiang, Global Head of Insights and Data for Capgemini Financial Services, reports that adapting to regulatory changes is eating up roughly 50 percent of the “Change the Bank” budget at many institutions, leaving banks struggling to find funds to direct towards revenue-generating activities.

In many cases, the solution to this budget crunch is to:

  • Implement “patch fixes” that enable regulatory compliance but are not necessarily the most strategic solutions
  • Cut back on high cost operations like IT infrastructure
  • Eliminate redundant systems
  • Integrate Finance, Risk, and Treasury capabilities
