Speeding the Achievement of Regulatory Compliance
Building a Structure to Sustain Aggressive Business Growth
When a European bank was looking to establish and grow a US market presence, it knew regulatory compliance would be a priority. Yet for years it failed to achieve such compliance, stagnating the bank’s growth opportunity in the desirable US market.
With our help, the bank achieved compliance in 18 months. Of equal importance, we established a structure within the bank to maintain its compliance so that it could pursue strategic growth plans for this new market.
