Transforming Transaction Banking with Data

Published on 31.07.2024 CEST

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Transaction Banking, staying ahead of the curve is not just an advantage; it's a key element for success. We at Vontobel have taken a significant leap by harnessing the potential of data analytics within our Transaction Banking Relationship Management team. Having successfully developed an internal data analytics platform tailored to our business needs, we have streamlined the approach to trading analytics, profitability analytics and risk monitoring enabling our Relation Management team to have all the relevant information at its fingertips. Anytime. Everywhere.

Unveiling the data analytics platform

Vontobel's Transaction Banking has strategically invested in developing an advanced internal and external data analytics platform. This platform encompasses a wide range of topics, covering comprehensive trading analytics, profitability analysis and risk monitoring. This initiative has positioned us at the forefront of innovation, allowing us to navigate the evolving complexity and combat the higher costs while at same time creating benefits for the client and us.

Knowing clients inside out

One of the key benefits derived from our data analytics platform is the in-depth understanding it provides about our clients and their needs. By aggregating and analyzing vast amounts of data, we gain valuable insights into client behavior, preferences, and historical trading patterns. This deep understanding allows the Relationship Management team to tailor our services to meet individual client needs even better, fostering stronger and more personalized long-term relationships.

Proactive problem identification

The ability to identify problems in a client's trade flow before they do is a key advantage. Vontobel's analytics platform empowers the Relationship Management team to detect anomalies and potential problems in a timely manner. This forward-looking approach not only enhances client satisfaction by minimizing disruptions but also establishes Vontobel as an active and reliable partner.

Mitigating risks with precision

Risk mitigation is a cornerstone of our solid business model. At Vontobel, we have developed our risk management capabilities with the help of data analyses. The platform enables Vontobel to identify and analyse potential risks before they escalate, allowing Vontobel’s first line of defense to take preemptive measures.
