Client Story
Rebuilding Corporate Actions From the Ground Up
Empowering Global Corporate Actions
One large, global bank recognized that the firm’s corporate actions function could present a significant financial and reputational risk for the bank and had already led to more than $3 million in risk exposure and financial losses in the prior 12 months. The bank brought in FIS to evaluate its systems and processes far beyond just software with a focus on developing industry best practices and to support the strategic transformation of the corporate actions function.
