There has been increasing focus within the financial services industry on the detection, mitigation and prevention of financial crime (including fraud, money laundering, bribery and corruption, market abuse and sanctions). Financial crime legislation and regulations are constantly evolving and companies not complying with these have found themselves the subject of significant financial sanctions and, reputational damage.

At Valcon, we have extensive experience with financial crime, organisational change, automation and scalability and can add value to companies that are dealing with these challenges and we aspire to be their partners in the fight against financial crime.

Consumers and our clients are more than ever aware of their environmental and social responsibility. Research indicates that over 84% of polled investors are interested in products that bring their investments closer to what they feel is vital to the environment. Examples include plastic reduction, turning climate change and supporting multicultural diversity.

We help our clients in financial services establish their sustainability goals through governance, following prescribed legislation and offering suitable AI and data solutions that can measure and reveal new insights.

We help insurance companies implement omnichannel or complete digital approaches to interact with their customers. Both methods help to leverage the digital component, for example, reducing claim charges resulting from fraud and estimating risks of specific fraud claims more accurately.

We combine digital transformation strategies with deep technology, data and AI skills to help insurance companies take the next step in maturity.
