Business discussion forum for trust companies: overcoming challenges together

The trust industry is currently confronting a variety of challenges and changes. This is precisely why we have created an exclusive business discussion forum (BDF), which is focused on actively addressing pressing issues, including the skills shortage, digitalization, and data security. Together, participants can master these and other challenges and at the same time, benefit from the knowledge and experience of their industry peers.

Challenges within the trust industry

Trust companies are currently facing some acute challenges:

  1. Skills shortage: the search for qualified auditors, tax advisors, and trustees can be challenging. In our BDF, you can discuss strategies on recruiting, retaining, and training skilled employees.
  2. Digitalization and the technology shift: The advance of digitalization is having a huge influence on this sector. Our BDF offers you the opportunity to share experiences with integrating technologies such as accounting software, AI, and automation.
  3. Data security and protection: the security of sensitive financial data and personal information is of the highest priority. In our BDF, you can share best practices in dealing with data security and data protection and learn from others.
