The Swiss financial sector faces major challenges: growing regulatory requirements and competitive pressure, digitalisation and cyber threats. Financial institutions must break down silos and outdated mindsets to stay competitive.
Ergon understands these demands and provides efficient, secure support for ambitious movers and shakers from the initial idea through to market success. We help financial institutions to overcome challenges and seize new opportunities. To do that, we draw on sound industry knowledge and core capabilities in software engineering, consulting, security, artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technology (DLT) and blockchain, cloud computing, mobile solutions and UX design.
Our solutions, including payment authorisations, digital banking, open banking, self-sovereign identity (SSI) and digital pension planning, ensure greater security, efficiency and agility. Together, we boost your operational efficiency, develop innovative products and improve the customer experience securely and in line with regulations.
Where Ergon digitally strengthens banks and financial services providers
Digital banking offerings are not developed in isolation. Instead, they link together customer access points, specialist domains, core systems, security solutions, data, AI, compliance and external partners. Ergon helps banks develop all of these areas further in a secure, modular and pragmatic way. The diagram shows examples of where Ergon strengthens digital offerings. It does not represent a rigid platform model, but rather serves as a guide for modular development.
