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.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

 

Set up and implementation of a Customer Due Diligence policy

“Making a good start was half the battle”

The challenge facing KAS BANK was to implement a Customer Due Diligence policy and rationalise customer files in a limited timeframe.

In collaboration with ITDS, project manager Marc Brouwer took on the challenge.

A social strategy and implementation for OHRA

“As soon as we were satisfied, they’d raise the bar”

In the space of just a few years the role of Social Media at OHRA has grown from “a nice little extra” to a fully fledged business channel.

Iris Wezenberg – previously Social Media Manager and now Online Service Manager with this Dutch insurer – explains how it all came about.

An international IT strategy and organisational change

“You have to get people onside because not everyone likes change”

In just over 40 years Brunel has evolved from a Delft-based brokerage company into an international service provider employing more than 11,000 people in 37 countries. In many of these countries Brunel used local IT systems, each with its own definitions. To make it all future-proof, all these systems had to be replaced by a single system based on the same standard.

Stefan de Boer, Manager Global IT, tells about the collaboration with ITDS.

Legislation and Regulation

A golden chance to make your reputation better

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. But we prefer to see it as an opportunity to make your organisation ready for a transparent and client focused future. Our experts deal with these challenges every day. 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.

Payment Service Directive 2 (PSD2)

Read more

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.

The Pension Act

Read more

With the appointment of the Rutte III Cabinet, the options for retirement plans have become limited to 4 variants: 2 variants with guaranteed benefit (DB) and 2 variable-rate variants (DC). The foundation of the system is a fixed funding space for pension building for all. This new tax framework will be introduced in one go. For the group of people who will be caught between these options, a transitional arrangement applies. Our experts have monitored all discussions about the changes in pension legislation and are therefore well-aware of the consequences for organizations, processes and systems. You can count on us when translating the new rules into your situation.
