Banking and Payments

Banking has been subject to ongoing regulatory, operational and digital changes and challenges over the past decade, while the payments sector has become increasingly diverse and complex, particularly with the rise in innovation and new activity, including open banking, cryptoasset technology and digital wallets.

Our specialist team has a proven track record and extensive expertise in supporting banks and payments firms, including established retail and wholesale banks, challenger and digital banks, building societies, investment banks, banking technology providers, fintech payments platforms and cryptoasset firms.

We are sector specialists in providing strategic advice on corporate messaging, media campaigns, public policy and regulatory positioning and engagement and supporting ESG strategies.

Our recent work with banking and payments providers has included implementing strategies to support profile-raising in a competitive sector, influence new financial services legislation and prudential and conduct regulation, as well as communicate initiatives that will help deliver a Net Zero economy.

We advise clients on the strategic approach that will work best to support their business objectives, across traditional and digital media channels, developing and distributing content, support public policy objectives, as well as crisis and issues management.
