The banking sector is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Changes in the organization of companies and the evolution of digitalization on an unprecedented scale are driving a series of related technologies that have significantly altered existing paradigms.
The challenges increase when the legal framework of credit institutions and financial companies evolves at a different time than reality, and the task of finding solutions that reconcile cultural differences, divergent business climates, and legal frameworks is often complex.
Companies can anticipate a robust regulatory production in the areas of crypto-activities, databases of bank accounts and payments, among others in the near future as well as a restructuring of bank loans and an increase in insolvencies
