The Practice – Retail and Business Banking (RBB)
Oliver Wyman’s Retail and Business Banking Practice addresses the needs of financial services providers serving personal, private and small to mid-sized business customers. These providers typically have much in common: widespread distribution; large numbers of individual clients; complex support processes; and intense competitive pressures. Our clients include top universal banks, regional banks, monolines, finance companies, wealth managers, & insurers
Our consulting approach is distinguished by a combination of industry expertise, strategic orientation, analytical rigor, and implementation experience. It has become the ‘consultant of choice’ for senior executives of a select group of large, well-known financial institutions. We assist our clients with a wide range of issues which have the common thread of increasing institutional value. Beyond business line strategy and corporate development, we have distinguishing expertise in risk management, customer relationship management and business transformation.
The Consultant’s Role
A project team usually comprises two partners, a senior engagement manager/junior engagement manager and 2-4 consultants. The non-Partner team members typically vary in level of experience, and work on only one project at a time. Your role will develop in accordance with your experience, maturity, and ambition and will not be limited by artificial titles or barriers. Oliver Wyman is a true meritocracy in which each consultant is given as much responsibility as he or she can handle.
