Our clients are at the heart of everything we do.
As a leading multi-asset servicing specialist, we invest to continuously enhance client experience.
In the financial industry, technology, in-depth market expertise and regulatory monitoring are essential but are they the only important criteria when choosing a securities services provider?
We believe that your experience as a client is just as important.
That is why at Securities Services, you are at the center of everything we do.

The results from this programme are a mix of process redesign, cultural change and digital transformation including:
- Implementing innovative solutions
- Providing faster and better interactions with you
- And enhancing the quality of our existing services.

What you say matters
A key part of providing best-in-class services is to take client feedback onboard and make improvements. Our strategy to collect your feedback focuses on three main pillars:
- Service reviews play a key part in the client experience journey. They are organised on a regular basis to ensure our service quality is always aligned with your priorities.
- We carry out regular in-depth client satisfaction surveys. We leverage the results of these surveys to guide our investment and resourcing to improve client experience.
- We always strive to provide the best client experience possible. However, if you feel that we have not met your expectations, you can raise a complaint at any time. We apply a structured and formal complaint handling process. You can find more information about it below.
Our client service model
We aim to provide you with an easy-to-understand client service model, a dedicated service team, and the ability to speak directly to specialists when required.
With our client-centric model, we offer multi-level client dialogue to align with your requirements:
- Relationship Managers support your business strategy
- Client Service Managers have oversight of your service delivery and lead service reviews and due diligence visits (DDVs)
- Client Account Managers support your operational activities, answer your queries and provide you with technical expertise
Leveraging technology for an improved client experience
Digital service reviews
We strongly believe that service reviews are a powerful catalyst to improve client experience.
This is why we leverage technology to offer a digital solution to support service review meetings. Available on NeoLink, it serves as an easy point of contact for our interactions and helps you keep track of our action plans. The result: a better service model with more transparency and full documentation.
A digital upskilling experience
Newcomers to the financial industry need to learn a lot of information to develop knowledge and expertise. Seasoned professionals need to keep pace with an industry in transformation.
This is why we have created a digital upskilling experience. Four user-centric e-learning modules are available on NeoLink to help clients train newcomers and strengthen staff engagement.
This digital upskilling experience covers:
- Custody
- Securities lending
- Investment funds
- Depositary services
