Banking & Capital Markets
How we can help
Over the past several weeks, banking and capital markets institutions have been managing through what may be the most significant societal and commercial challenges in generations. Near-term focus has been mobilizing workforces in a new work environment, implementing business continuity planning strategies, and, importantly, supporting the lending programs provided under the CARES Act.
Moving forward in the new reality is likely to require further institutional transformation. You will need to address the potential longer-term effects of the COVID-19 challenge on your overall strategy, as well as your people, processes, and technologies. You may need to make certain operating model changes, such as operational and technology resiliency, acceleration of digitization, branch and location strategy and employee technology and new ways of working.
Though there will be challenges ahead, there will also be opportunities. Together, for better, the banking and capital markets industry will weather this storm.
