The global financial crisis has highlighted the need for specialists in financial institutions insurance: Financial institutions find themselves in a hotbed of volatility and risk, and the uncertain economic environment has served only to intensify this in a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive environment.
Amidst unrelenting pressure on the bottom line, regulatory changes, compliance costs, and global economic uncertainty all present challenges that apply further pressure. And as technology continues to replace traditional delivery the threats of data breaches and cyber attack are augmenting the challenges for financial institutions.
