Financial Services & Fintech

Helping to Build & Secure the Future of Finance

Our team support banks and financial institutions all over the world with complex growth initiatives


The banking industry is grappling with critical challenges, including potential market consolidation, heightened cyber security risks, and regulatory uncertainties. Four emerging trends stand out:


  • AI will be transformative, reshaping every facet of the sector. From enhanced customer service interactions to cutting-edge financial management tools, AI is poised to revolutionise the way we bank.


  • We expect that institutions will prioritise sustainability and ESG factors in their decision-making. In the financial services sector, this involves greater investment in green initiatives like renewable energy, recycling, and decarbonisation.


  • The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks underscores the critical importance of cyber security. Addressing these challenges will require a 'secure by design' approach and sustained investment in advanced tools, infrastructure, and awareness training.


  • Emerging technologies that analyse every customer touchpoint will enhance customer experience (CX) by reducing friction and improving satisfaction. Additionally, Open Banking will bring tools and financial autonomy to our fingertips.

We help financial services & fintech clients drive growth, manage risks, reduce costs, foster innovation, and enhance customer loyalty. 

Our team challenges conventional thinking, redefining consultancy partnerships with our clients. Our global experts bring deep financial industry knowledge and a collaborative ethos to create tangible impact and a lasting legacy of change.


We leverage industry connections and multidisciplinary knowledge across geographies, capturing best practices from different global markets.

Case Study

Cambridge MC delivers the TSA programme for a $216m divestment 6 months early & under budget 


The goal of the programme was the transition of two financial derivatives trading platform businesses. The client approached Cambridge Management Consulting to advise them on the optimal way to deliver a business-critical transition and TSA.


The initial engagement was to review and implement a TSA programme and support the client with consulting services to deliver an optimised TSA. We quickly became a trusted partner, and our engagement was extended to leading the delivery of the transition programme.


Our experience in managing and delivering successful TSA transitions resulted in our TSA Manager, Program Manager, Project Managers, Solution Architects, and PMO remaining on the TSA from start to finish, ensuring consistency and continuity.


The outcome was a highly successful transition which satisfied both parties. Significantly, an 18-month transition process was delivered in under 12 months and under budget with all contractual obligations being met.
