FATCA implementation at a major bank
THE REQUEST
To prevent tax evasion, the Netherlands government has a treaty with the US tax office to provide the latter (via the Netherlands tax office) with information from banks and insurers about US taxpayers. We were asked by a bank to implement the practical implications of the treaty.
OUR APPROACH
We kicked off by carrying out an analysis to ascertain which processes and underlying systems are impacted. Then we planned how to plug all gaps and meet all requirements. Together with the employees, we adapted all processes, systems and organisational components. We also ensured that effective training was in place. All in all, it constituted a complete change-management process, from system- right up to organisation-level.
THE RESULT
The client is now in complete compliance with legislation and regulations pertaining to the relevant systems, processes and employees. Moreover, all the implemented changes are embedded in the organisation.

The Dutch and European authorities come with new regulations that you have to comply with every year. We all embrace the motives for this: privacy, comfort, transparency. But the implementation of these regulations has consequences for your operation, from administration to reporting. Above all it takes time and energy to keep your knowledge up to date on the changes and their implications. This all imposes a heavy load on your organisation.

Together with you, they will quickly determine the impact of new laws and regulations so that you can quickly return to focussing on innovation and development.

PSD2 makes it possible to share account information with other companies and you can also let other companies make payments. The purpose of the directive is to make payments easier and safer. It also brings new rules with it for authentication and detecting fraud. Food for thought. What does it mean to you as a bank if someone like Apple develops a successful banking app? And will your role change if Amazon can make payments? We would like to share the consequences with you. From technical consequences to communication with the account holder.
