Financial institutions are likely to face a tough operating environment in 2023 amid stagnant growth rates, rising inflation, high interest rates and heightened geopolitical tensions. Globally, C-suite executives are focusing on improving resilience and future-proofing their business models. At Acuity, we have helped several financial institutions on their strategic digitisation and transformation journeys to drive ROI.
I am delighted to say that Acuity’s Lending vertical has doubled in size in the past three years and now operates from four global delivery centres. We continue to diversify our service offerings to be an end-to-end strategic partner to global and regional banks, credit unions, credit risk teams and other financial institutions. Our offerings range from underwriting and credit monitoring to loan operations and servicing. We have also expanded our support in trade finance, consumer mortgages, commercial real estate and leveraged lending. This growth is a testament to the continued association and enriching interactions with our clients and industry experts. As we step into 2023, we thank you for partnering with us and wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy and prosperous new year.
