Regional banks are likely to upgrade their risk management technology as the recent problems in the industry raise concerns about all elements of their risk positions, experts say.
Most regional and super-regional banks previously sought to spend as little as possible on risk management technology to meet minimum regulatory and compliance requirements, said Ronak Doshi, Partner at Everest Group. However, over the past six weeks, banks have felt pressure from their boards, employees, and other stakeholders to prioritize risk assessment.
“Banks are suddenly saying, ‘Risk management is a key component of who we are as a bank,'” Doshi said. “It’s not just the cost of doing business. That’s business.”
