After years of cost cutting initiatives, sustained and consistent revenue growth has returned as the main agenda for the Banking and Financial Services Industry today. However new geographies, new products and new channels have made the operating models too demanding. The Banking industry is experiencing a strong drive for simplified operating models, whose aim is to leverage scale and realign capabilities across internal business silos.

Equally important, banks are trying to increase the level of flexibility of their operating environment to accommodate fast business change while experiencing the least amount of pain.

SCM for BFS
The supply chain in financial and banking sector has been lengthening as a result of globalisation and offshore production. Many companies are experiencing a reduction of capital availability.
In addition, the pressure faced by organisations to improve cash flow has resulted in increased pressure on their overseas suppliers. While buyers are extending payment terms to their suppliers, the suppliers often have limited access to short-term financing and, therefore, a higher cost of money. This cost shifting to suppliers results in a financially unstable and higher-risk supply base.
Market trends with respect to the global supply chain have caused companies to demand an integrated approach/solution to physical and financial supply chain challenges:
Suppliers are looking to obtain funds earlier in the supply chain at favourable rates, given buyers’ desire to delay inventory ownership
Globalisation of the United States and Western Europe’s manufacturing bases has resulted in fewer domestic assets that can be leveraged to generate working capital
Most small and medium suppliers to U.S. and European businesses are located in countries that lack well-developed capital markets. Without access to efficient and cost-effective capital, production costs increase significantly or the suppliers go out of business
Letters of credit, a long-standing method of obtaining capital for suppliers in less developed countries, are on the decline as large buyers are forcing suppliers to move to open account
There is a desire to ensure stability of capital as supply chains elongate
