Transformation of retail banking and branch networks

Changing customer behaviour, network rationalisation, pressure on margins: retail banks are rethinking their distribution model. Our interim retail banking managers lead these transformations on the ground.

  • Interim regional or network management, with immediate assumption of commercial leadership.
  • Overseeing plans to consolidate branches and redeploy teams towards remote customer relations.
  • Revitalising commercial performance and structuring an omnichannel customer relationship.
  • Reorganisation of back-office functions and customer service centres.

Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB)

In corporate and investment banking, competitiveness depends on keeping the cost-to-income ratio under control and ensuring the robustness of the front-to-back process. Our CIB interim managers work across both trading and financing activities.

  • Leading front-to-back transformation programmes and reorganising the middle and back offices.
  • Managing projects relating to trading activities, structured finance and post-trade operations.
  • Implementing cost-cutting plans and initiatives to improve the cost-to-income ratio.

Banking compliance and financial security

Anti-money laundering, know-your-customer, customer protection, anti-corruption: compliance requirements are becoming increasingly stringent, and ACPR inspections demand swift and well-documented responses. Our interim banking compliance managers ensure your systems are secure.

  • Overseeing KYC and AML/CFT remediation plans, from reviewing customer files to overhauling screening tools.
  • Acting as interim head of compliance or internal audit, particularly during an inspection by the ACPR or the ECB.
  • Implementing governance and internal control frameworks in accordance with the decree of 3 November 2014.
  • Rolling out the anti-corruption measures required by the Sapin II Act.

Risks and prudential regulation

Finalisation of Basel III/IV (CRR3), liquidity requirements, IFRS 9 provisioning: prudential regulation places significant demands on risk and finance departments. Our interim managers strengthen these functions at critical times.

  • Interim Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and oversight of ICAAP and ILAAP exercises.
  • Ensuring the reliability of prudential data and regulatory reporting (COREP, FINREP).
  • Remediation plans to restore solvency and liquidity ratios (CET1, LCR, NSFR).
  • Review of credit risk policies and IFRS 9 provisioning.

Digital transformation and the resilience of banking information systems

Neobanks, fintechs, instant payments, open banking: the modernisation of banking systems is gathering pace, under increased regulatory scrutiny since the DORA regulation came into force. Our interim managers lead these critical projects.

  • Managing the migration of core banking systems and the modernisation of IT architecture.
  • Rolling out instant payments, open banking APIs and digital onboarding processes.
  • DORA compliance: IT risk management, resilience testing and oversight of critical service providers.
  • Change management for teams and customers.

Mergers, restructuring and crisis management in the banking sector

Network mergers, divestments, sudden deterioration in the financial situation: these are times that call for experienced leadership that is available immediately. Our interim banking managers ensure smooth execution.

  • Managing post-merger integration: harmonising IT systems, processes and corporate cultures.
  • Business continuity and customer relations during merger integration phases.
  • Divestment of loan portfolios and non-strategic business lines.
  • Crisis management and implementation of recovery plans, in consultation with the supervisory authorities.
