The Avaloq Group, the international reference for integrated and comprehensive banking solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its first branch office in Australia.
As part of its continuous internationalisation strategy and aim to extend its presence in the most demanding financial markets globally, Avaloq has opened an office in Australia end of last year. The expansion to Australia - a new continent for Avaloq - comes after the company successfully established local offices in various regions in recent years.
Avaloq signed its first customer on the Australian continent - one of the reasons why the company decided to further extend its international presence and open a branch in Sydney. The Australian market bears a great potential for wealth management platforms such as the Avaloq Banking System. The fully integrated solution offers the entire field of investment products and additionally covers local tax and superannuation requirements. Combined with a team of experts, equipped with substantial know-how and experience regarding the Australian financial market, Avaloq significantly improves its local position.
"Opening an office in Australia is yet another important step in our internationalisation strategy and an additional milestone in Avaloq's remarkable company history. Building up a local presence in the most demanding financial centres worldwide ensures that we are close to the markets and companies we work with. This allows us to cater towards our client's needs and requirements without having to work around different time zones", says a delighted Francisco Fernandez, CEO Avaloq. "The Australian market has immense potential, with demand for wealth management platforms increasing. Being present in Australia is the logical move for the company", Fernandez continues.
The new Avaloq branch in Australia will significantly profit from the vast experience of the regional headquarters in Singapore, which was established in 2007. The Singapore branch has seen strong expansion in recent years under the management of Martin Frick, Managing Director Asia Pacific.
