By Joy Dumasia

Bishopsgate Financial, the financial services change management consultancy, announces CubeMatch Ltd has acquired it. This move will create one of the UK’s most extensive independent financial services change management consultancies, with major global financial institutions as its client base.

CubeMatch and Bishopsgate Financial share the same vision and are committed to ensuring financial services organisations facing large change programmes can complete them in an effective and timely manner.

Bishopsgate Financial’s core specialisms are business change, compliance and financial crime, which combines powerfully with CubeMatch’s expertise in strategic change, business and digital transformation, risk and compliance, data and technology, quality assurance and managed services.

The existing Bishopsgate Financial management team will remain in place, and assignments with existing clients will continue uninterrupted. The two management teams will enable the broader capability to be made available to the firms’ joint client base.

Andrew Seymour, MD of CubeMatch UK, said, “Our focus is helping financial services firms develop the skills, attitude and technology toolsets to cope with tomorrow’s challenges today. The CubeMatch approach is about blending deep domain expertise with a highly rigorous approach to project deployment to ensure our clients are future fit. Bishopsgate Financial has the same ethos as us, along with a significant proven track record in ensuring banks embed robust financial crime and compliance protocols. When this experience is combined with our expertise around strategic change, risk and technology, we offer a highly powerful proposition to our clients.”

Both firms offer consultancy, resource augmentation, and managed services, enabling change programmes to be embedded in their clients’ businesses. Bishopsgate Financial has a proven track record delivering change in the banking sector, with expertise in anti-money laundering and anti-crime. CubeMatch is a global change and transformation consultancy excelling in complex and highly regulated Financial Services environments.
