Finsmart - data led digital solutions for debt capital markets

The question we’re always asked by DCM bankers - why does automating DCM processes with DealPro make such a difference? As successfully evidenced, with DealPro you will have: 1. Instant access to structured data and analytics delivering reliable/clean, current and historic investor, issuer, deal and orderbook data. 2. Automated work flows delivering savings in time and cost, enabling added value through time spent evaluating and reducing need for 3rd parties.

Bespoke, creative, customer centric solutions are at the heart of many fintechs’ offer. The ‘one size fits all’ approach to fintech products is increasingly being replaced with a collaborative approach between fintech and bank. Speed of adoption is critical - and the risk for banks is getting drawn into lengthy contractual negotiations. With DCM clients increasingly needing differentiated solutions, a nimble mindset is key: 1. In the long term, efficient contractual negotiations will enable the fintech to deliver time and money saving solutions quickly 2. Partnering is a cost-effective solution replacing high maintenance annual costs with more flexible licensing or user-based fees 3. Each partnership is unique - allowing differentiation and competitive advantage to retain and attract new business. To our prospective clients, time is precious, let's invest in implementing the right solution for your needs.

Why is there noticeable momentum behind partnering with fintechs? Since the emergence and continuous maturing of fintechs, banks’ traditional approach towards adoption of new technologies and digital solutions has been put to the test. Historically, it was largely binary – Build or Buy. Fintechs, now firmly part of the financial ecosystem, have delivered an alternative, increasingly attractive option – that of partnering. In this latest blog from our founder Sotiris Manderis, we discuss why fintechs as specialists can partner with banks to deliver the very latest adaptable fintech solutions, cost effectively, providing exclusivity and differentiation which is important to retain and attract new business. For the Heads, COOs and business managers within syndicate and DCM, lets discuss your needs in more detail and put together the right approach for your business. #Finsmart #DealPro #fintechpartner #DebtCapitalMarkets #CapitalMarkets #dataanalytics

Bankers delight in learning that the right transformative tech solution is available today. But that delight is sometimes subsumed by a number of unknowns that could get in the way of successfully modernising their business. Digitalisation of the DCM business needs planning, consistency, and continuity. Whether analyst or managing director, the feedback to DealPro is consistently, and overwhelmingly, positive. A view that “finally” there is a straightforward tool that removes the daily grind of DCM processes …. And adds value … And delivers competitive advantage. What happens next though? More and more in our daily interaction with banks we see how important the COO role within DCM is. A number of banks now do have a dedicated COO for the following reasons: ·      The COO has a unique specialisation, they combine business and operational skills. They understand in a lot of detail how debt capital markets work on a day to day basis though at the same time they know what makes the business “tick” from a system/tech perspective. ·      The COO understands the challenges within the DCM business. Where is automation needed, what data is needed when pitching, during a transaction or post-trade, what do clients need. ·      The COO internalises technology for the business. On one hand the COO knows what are the challenges of the business and at the same time they are very close to the fintech developments. They have a unique opportunity to “sync up” tech and business. At Finsmart we work closely with COOs as they can make the interaction smoother, connecting us with the right people within the bank from business to tech and compliance and follow a structured path to a successful onboarding for DealPro. In our opinion this role is critical for DCM and much needed in order to capitalise on the increasing momentum of technology advances in our industry.
