Bankbrokers is a Business Reporter client.
Bankbrokers helps by benchmarking your company’s banking, merchant services and financing costs against the market to guarantee value for money.
Concerned your company might be paying over the odds in bank charges, merchant services fees and debt financing costs? Frustrated there is no transparency across the various bank-related fees? Wish you could see a peer-group benchmark of all your charges in one place for peace of mind? Well now you can with Bankbrokers.
Bankbrokers is the preferred choice for many of the world’s largest companies wishing to benchmark and renegotiate their current fees without having to run expensive and time-consuming tender processes. It currently works with several of the FTSE-100, as well as 250 projects for other large companies, in Europe and the US in particular. Its customer satisfaction survey scores consistently show 100 per cent of clients would recommend Bankbrokers. Several hundred companies have provided written or video testimonials advocating the quality of Bankbrokers’ service.
The process is straightforward: Bankbrokers analysts extract data about your company’s current position from you, covering all your banking providers (volumes, values and prices for all current products/services consumed) and compare these to the best the market has to offer. Bankbrokers then uses this benchmark to renegotiate with your current providers to ensure you are getting the best possible deal, without the hassle of having to change. Where clients have pinch-points that they want to target during the project, such as poor payment acceptance rates, high collateral requirements, deferred settlement or restrictive covenants, the Bankbrokers team are adept at renegotiating better terms across the board.
Most clients love the “no saving, no fee” commercial approach too as it de-risks the project for your company. And fees are linked to the actual, tangible savings secured, so you are never out of pocket.
Bankbrokers uses extensive benchmarking data. Its analysis comes from completing 3,000 projects since 2008 worldwide. This means it can compare bank charges and merchant service fees across the entire marketplace. There is no need for a time-consuming RFI/RFP process as Bankbrokers analysts already have all the current market pricing data stored in their database. This makes the process of securing savings quick and simple.
Its comprehensive benchmarking analysis allows Bankbrokers to renegotiate better terms for 95 per cent of its clients. As a result, there is often no need to change providers as between 80 and 90 per cent of clients stay with their current providers each year, simply paying less money.
Bankbrokers can also work with worldwide banks to get you the best possible deal for your company if you would prefer to switch providers. It has the widest range of providers to collaborate with, and can find the right one for you if you do wish to change. So let Bankbrokers do all the hard work, and you can focus on what you do best: running your business.
