Advice, Training, and Consultancy are close sisters. Drawing heavily on our past involvement and experience in Senior Management Positions, we have developed an expertise in

  • Banking Management Issue – Business Strategy & Implementation

Banking, like any other business, is about earning money for the shareholder. Money or profit which reflects a return worthwhile to engage in the business risk.

Profitability is most important (or the lack thereof). The underlying reasons are often found in organizational set-ups, workflows, risk appetite, human interaction and more and more in the underlying IT system which determine your ‘time-to-market’ delivery.

In banking, the issue today is not just profit but sustainable profit in an ever-changing banking and finance industry.

In other words, a holistic approach must be taken to find out your core competencies and to secure those for your company. Here we can help with a particular assessment or overall SWOT analysis.

Trade & Commodity Finance

Trade Finance & Services and Commodity Trade Finance are products usually offered by banks. If you are interested to get into this area of banking or want to have a review of existing, established Trade Finance Departments in your financial institution, we can explain and advice on the secular driver of the trade and commodity business, typical customer base, competition landscape, compliance and regulation issues, minimum requirements in terms of capital and funds injection, etc. …

Please, look no further, we can discuss whatever is needed for your institution.

Finance for SME's

Small, mid-sized enterprises (‘SME’) financial interest are often ‘misunderstood’ by banks and other financial service providers; Eckermann & Partners will match the differences between your company and your financial partner bank/s.

We know about the differences in large, mid-sized, and small banks. Size matters in banking because it will determine the bank’s approach towards your own business and company. It will shape the banking offerings, the kind of financial instruments introduced to your company.

We can help to look through the process and the financial offering of your banks and might be able to introduce you to alternative financiers.
