Financial institutions (FIs) are facing a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive environment amid wider global economic uncertainty. As technology continues to replace traditional delivery, the threats of data breaches and cyber-attack are creating challenges for FIs. Ongoing regulatory changes and rising compliance costs have added to the complexity.
We can help you to navigate these risks and, as a leading broker and risk adviser, we understand your industry. With access to the wider network of Marsh & McLennan Companies, our dedicated Financial Institutions Industry Practice offers a broad range of risk management solutions, from cyber liability to more traditional exposures such as directors and officers (D&O) liability.
We can provide you with clear insight into your risk profile, helping you to identify potential losses and determine whether to retain or transfer those risks. Using this approach, we can help you gain a more holistic view of risk financing, a confident alignment of risk capital, and, ultimately, a reduction in your total cost of risk.
