Compliance Management Software for the Financial Services and Bank Industries

Every organization in the financial service industry — whether a commercial bank, credit union, investment bank, brokerage firm, mortgage broker, insurance company or management investment firm — has different guidelines and standards by which they must adhere, and as a result, has unique needs.

At ConvergePoint, we listen to our financial customers’ strengths and challenges to determine best practices in compliance management. With your needs in mind, we built our compliance management software, hosted on Microsoft SharePoint, to streamline your policy and contract lifecycles.

Highly regulated both internally and externally, financial institutions must adhere to the SEC, FDIC, FINRA, OCC, CFTC, and the Federal Reserve — and it can be complicated to meet all of these governing bodies’ requirements. We understand the financial sector is under additional external scrutiny in their transparency efforts, and requires a robust policy and contract process for additional checks and balances. With our software, you establish a streamlined, consistent approach to your compliance processes to promote transparency and reduce risk.
