Securing a successful future in financial services

Organisations need a clear path from planning to implementation; underpinned by excellent and efficient processes; and ready responsiveness to new and impending regulation.  These are essential conditions for success.

PA Consulting Group’s practical strategies are market-renowned for their results. For the launch of Egg, for example, we acted as key strategic, technical and operational partner; and at MasterCard we reversed a decline in market share.

Our capital markets team are working at the centre of unprecedented changes sweeping the industry.  These include regulatory and structural changes around the processing of OTC derivatives, and major evolutions in industry systems and infrastructure. We help clients in investment banks, exchanges, clearing, and market infrastructure to understand these challenges, and devise and execute their response. For example we recently helped the London Metal Exchange deliver market-wide transformation of its trade matching service.

Our insurance team is helping both general insurance, and life and pensions firms to shape and deliver strategies for 2010 and beyond, including a practical approach to Solvency II. At Norwich Union Healthcare our award-winning work has helped nearly double new business since 2004.

In the banking sector, we assisted Rabobank by reducing cost and improving transparency resulting in savings of €7m  in four months and helped SEB Retail Banking achieve £10m in IT cost savings.
