ENTERPRISE AI CONSULTING FOR BANKS & FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

AI as a sustainable competitive advantage in finance.

Consulting Offer

Strategy, Governance & Implementation

We combine strategic foresight with industry-specific compliance and technical process implementation.

Level 1: Front Office & Wealth Management

Relationship Management & Advisory

Before we install technology, we create clarity.

  • Automated Advisory Minutes: Structured documentation of client meetings including FinSA/MiFID compliance and next-best actions.
  • Hyper-Personalized Briefings: Up-to-the-minute client meeting preparation based on portfolio, market, and research data.
  • Multilingual Client Correspondence: Refined drafts for complex wealth and estate inquiries in DE, FR, IT, and EN.

Level 2: Middle Office, Risk & Compliance

KYC, AML & Credit Underwriting

Innovation without risk. We make your AI audit-ready.

  • KYC & Source-of-Wealth Analysis: Automated evaluation of complex ownership structures, commercial register extracts, and adverse media.
  • Credit & Mortgage Dossiers: Rapid extraction of tax returns, salary statements, land register extracts, and financial statements.
  • AML False-Positive Reduction: Intelligent pre-qualification of transaction alerts to relieve compliance officers.

Level 3: Back Office, IT & Governance

Knowledge Management & FINMA Governance

This is where value is created. We integrate AI deeply into your value chain.

  • RAG Directive Assistant: Instant answers across thousands of pages of internal policies, FINMA circulars, and product terms.
  • AI Governance Framework: Binding guidelines aligned with FINMA Circ. 2023/1, Swiss FADP, and the EU AI Act.

AI Solution Horizons

From Quick Wins to Transformation

Structured implementation steps tailored to your industry value chain.

Short-Term

Phase 1: Immediate Leverage

Immediate automation in the front and back office. AI accelerates document verification and supports first-level support.

  • Document Analysis: Automated reading of KYC (Know Your Customer) documents and balance sheets.
  • Customer Service: Secure chatbots for account inquiries and FAQs.
  • Reporting: Fast generation of standardized financial reports.

Medium-Term

Phase 2: Process Integration

Integration into core processes. Machine learning optimizes credit scoring and revolutionizes anti-money laundering (AML) controls.

  • Credit Scoring: More precise credit risk assessment through alternative data sources.
  • Fraud Detection: Real-time identification of transaction anomalies.
  • Personalization: Next-best-action recommendations for customer advisors.

Long-Term

Phase 3: Transformation

Algorithmic transformation. We implement our own, fully compliant LLMs (Large Language Models – the text-generation models behind ChatGPT) and predictive models for algorithmic trading and risk hedging.

  • Custom AI Models: On-premise LLMs (Large Language Models hosted locally on your servers) for appropriate technical and organizational safeguards (FADP / FINMA).
  • Market Prediction: Analysis of unstructured news for market trends.
  • Hyper-Personalization: Fully automated, individual wealth management strategies.
Swiss Tech & Data Architecture

Banking Architecture: Security Before Hype

We design AI systems for financial institutions built on Privacy-by-Design and strict separation of client identifying data (CID).

Integrations & Standards:AvaloqFinnovaFinastraTemenosFINMA Circular 2023/1 & Guidance 08/2024Art. 47 Banking Act / Swiss FADP

CID Anonymization & Proxy Gateways

Automated masking of personally identifiable client attributes before model inference.

Audit Trail & Explainability

Human-in-the-Loop Approvals

Clear four-eyes principles for credit, investment, and compliance-critical decisions.

Collaboration

Tailored to Your Needs

Whether a clearly defined project or agile support – you have full cost control.

Project Package

Maximum Planning Certainty

Ideal when the goal and scope are clearly defined. We agree on a fixed outcome at a fixed price. Scope, milestones, and acceptance criteria are bindingly defined before the project starts. Any changes are coordinated with you before implementation.

  • Result GuaranteeWe deliver until the agreed goal is achieved.
  • Budget SecurityYou know exactly what it costs. No surprises.

Expert-on-Demand

Agile Support & Interim

Book our experts flexibly as needed – whether as a strategic advisor for a few hours or as an integral part of your team.

  • Interim-SupportWe work hands-on operationally to bridge bottlenecks.
  • No OverheadFull flexibility without long-term staffing commitments.

Approach

What Are the Next Steps?

Initial Consultation (Free)

We discuss your goals with you and clarify without obligation where AI has the greatest leverage in your company. Together we define the framework for a potential collaboration.

1
2

Deep Dive Audit

We analyze your data and processes to uncover concrete automation potentials. We prioritize the use cases that deliver the highest ROI.

Pilot Phase

Instead of pure theory, we implement a working pilot project in a selected area. This proves measurable value risk-free before larger investments are made.

3

Scaling

We roll out the solution, empower your team through training, and establish Swiss FADP-compliant guidelines for sustainable, secure operation.

BANKING REGULATION & EVIDENCE

Research and guidance in context

Research can help identify useful applications. It does not replace testing the outcome in your own business.

50%

Of surveyed Swiss financial institutions already deploy or develop AI applications

In Guidance 08/2024, FINMA notes that roughly half of surveyed Swiss financial institutions already use or actively develop AI – setting clear supervisory expectations for governance, robustness, explainability, and documentation.

Circ. 2023/1

Strict operational resilience and critical data requirements for banking IT

FINMA Circular 2023/1 requires banks and securities firms to maintain end-to-end risk management across ICT, critical data, and cloud interfaces under Art. 47 of the Swiss Banking Act.
