FinTech & Digital Banking –

Accelerating Innovation

Market & Context

Digital transformation is fundamentally reshaping the Swiss financial center. Open banking, cloud technologies, API architectures, payments innovation, and artificial intelligence are no longer future concepts — they are defining day-to-day operations. Customers today expect intuitive digital experiences, personalized services, and fast, secure processes, regardless of channel.

Rather than merely further developing in-house systems, leading institutions are increasingly relying on ecosystems and strategic partnerships with FinTechs to bring innovations to market faster. This is not just about technology, but about the ability to rethink business models, embed agile methodologies, and consistently meet regulatory requirements.

At the same time, pressure is increasing from cybersecurity risks, ESG data requirements, and new compliance regulations. Digital banking is not a project with an end date, but a strategic imperative — and it requires leaders who can align technology, business, and culture.

Challenges

Organizations are seeking leaders who do not simply manage digital transformation, but actively shape it. They must break down silos, introduce agile ways of working, and take regulatory requirements into account. Particularly critical is the ability to successfully steer digital initiatives from MVP to full rollout, while simultaneously bringing the organization along culturally.

Currently relevant roles include:

• Head of Digital Transformation

• Chief Product Officer / Platform Strategy

• Data & AI Leads

• Heads of Cybersecurity & Operational Resilience

• Open Banking & API Architecture Specialists
