Retail banks prioritize serving retail customers over institutional clients. However, when an institutional client must switch banks because a retail bank is exiting the market, it presents an ideal opportunity to upgrade to full institutional banking capabilities.
It’s important to select an institutional bank that has a robust and proven conversion process with full ownership of deliverables and timelines. Choosing the right institutional bank for your fund, one that is equipped with advanced banking technology to further automate your funds activities, will ensure fast and accurate conversion.
