Financial Regulatory
Financial companies increasingly need to implement new Dutch and European laws and regulations in their organisation. These new laws and regulations are a challenge for legal and compliance departments and they also have an impact on the day-to-day business.
Financial Services
The financial sector is subject to increasing regulation, both within and outside Europe. It has become more complex and challenging for financial institutions to continuously anticipate and comply with constantly changing regulations.
Financial Regulatory & Technology
Technology has changed the financial sector, including the previously existing license requirements and prohibitions for banking, intermediation, consumer credit and insurance. Instead, digital activities such as payment and crypto processing services have also been brought under licensing requirements, even when the cash equivalent was (or is) allowed.
Technology
Whether it's about the largest and fastest-growing companies having technology at the core of their business model, financial institutions developing new ways to commercialise their services or industrials relying heavily on technology for their products – technology is top of mind.
