Financial Institutions

Tailored banking solutions for financial institutions worldwide

SMBC’s dedicated client coverage team for financial institutions is 150 experts strong globally, with a strong and growing presence across continental Europe. We specialise in delivering tailored banking solutions through a multi-product, partnership-driven approach. 

Leveraging our global platform, we serve a broad spectrum of clients, including banks, insurance companies, regulated funds, and specialty finance firms. We collaborate cross functionally with experts across our organisation to provide comprehensive, end-to-end solutions spanning investment and hedging strategies, capital markets access, structured finance, leasing, and transaction banking. 

Our strategic priorities include expanding our securitisation capabilities - particularly in Lender Finance, ABS, and CLO - and deepening collaboration with other SMBC entities. Through our holistic coverage model, we help clients navigate complex regulatory environments and deliver integrated solutions across geographies, products, and client types. This positions SMBC as a trusted, long-term partner in the financial institutions sector.
