Helping banks navigate regulation, risk, and transformation with confidence.
Banks are under sustained pressure to modernise technology, meet rising regulatory expectations, and deliver better customer outcomes, all while managing cost and risk. SKL Consulting supports banking leaders as they make critical decisions about strategy, operating models, and transformation initiatives.
We understand that every change in banking is interdependent: product changes affect risk and capital; technology decisions reshape operations and customer experience; regulatory shifts drive new governance and reporting requirements. Our work is focused on making these connections clear, and helping clients move from complexity to actionable priorities.
BANKING SECTOR CONSULTING
Our expertise
Our practice partners with banks on strategic and operational questions across retail, business, and institutional banking. We support leadership teams in areas such as transformation strategy, operating model and organisational design, risk and compliance frameworks, and the alignment of people, data, and technology capabilities.
We bring deep sector insight and a structured, research-led approach to banking projects. Our experience includes:
- Supporting strategy and target operating model design for business units and shared services
- Assessing governance, risk, and compliance structures and recommending improvements
- Providing independent review and challenge for major programs, including digital and data initiatives
- Helping align roles, responsibilities, and capabilities to new strategies or regulatory requirements
By combining internal data and stakeholder perspectives with broader market insight, we help banks understand where they stand, where they need to go, and how to get there.
