Our Amsterdam office

Amsterdam-sketch

In the Netherlands, where we operate as Infinium, we have been offering consultancy, transformation, technology and data expertise to Dutch banks and Insurers since 2014. Our people have extensive experience of working in financial markets, both in the Netherlands and other financial centres such as London, New York and Hong Kong.

Our combined experience, delivery track record, client relationships and reputation offer our clients a real alternative to big brand consultancies. 

We are renowned for delivering complex initiatives, ranging from the delivery of one of the largest integration programs following a major take-over and merger to playing a major role in the divestment and wind-down of a major bank.

More recently, we have supported a number of global banks with their Brexit programmes.

The business is also focused on the latest technologies. In close collaboration with Nextwave UK, the Netherlands office has an extensive set of technology partnerships with some of the worlds leading fintechs and regtechs that focus specifically on delivering solutions in the areas of Big Data, Risk Management, Regulation, Finance, Compliance and Fraud. 

These activities underpin our mission to offer effective solutions through the use of the latest technology, created with our in-depth market knowledge and expertise.

We are NEN4400-1 certified.
