Risk is an inherent part of lending and every (financial) decision-making process. From credit risk to market risk, exchange rate fluctuations to internal fraud or environmental aspects, risks come in many forms and managing them is crucial for business success.

At Frankfurt School’s Risk Advisory, we believe that risk should be understood, not avoided, and our services are designed to equip financial institutions, FinTechs, and non-financial enterprises alike with the necessary tools to control it.
