GSS Newsletter April 2018 - Issue 202

APRIL 2018 - ISSUE 202

 

Dear Clients, Partners and Friends,

While spring has finally reached us in the region and the trees are already blooming, let us welcome you to the new edition of the GSS Newsletter. We have transformed our publication into a quarterly in-depth source of industry information on our region and we hope that you will like it!

Tapping the vast in-house know-how that UniCredit can boast with, we asked Gregor Hense and Friedrich Schenk from our Global Transaction Banking team in Germany for a round-up of Blockchain’s effects on our business.

Looking back, T2S and the related workflows have been dominating our sector over years. Günter Schnaitt, Head of GSS Austria and prominent looked-after expert on T2S questions, has summarised the current status of the project for this edition of the GSS Newsletter.

As always, our country experts are also providing you with more insight on what is happening in our region, how UniCredit is represented in the different local working groups to improve the processes of the securities services industry for the benefit of our clients.

Let us wish that the spring season will be full of inspiration and anticipation of the tasks waiting for us and we look forward to seeing you at the end of June in our home city, Vienna, for this year’s Network Forum.
