Companies as well as family-offices in the banking, financial services and payments sector  will find that GSK offers a diverse spectrum of advisory services, particularly in the Banking/Finance practice area.

GSK advises domestic and foreign credit and financial services institutions as well as future payment institutions on their "path to regulation", as well as institutions that have already been licensed, on all issues of banking regulation and the organisation of banks.

Apart from advising full banks (Vollbanken) on securities business and the sale of financial products, the financial services institutions, which GSK advises particularly include investment managers, investment advisers as well as investment and contract brokers.

Our clients in the field of investment funds and asset management include numerous investment companies, custodian banks and institutional investors, as well as outsourcing providers and sub-advisors.  In addition GSK advises initiators of closed-end funds and other investment products.

On financing issues GSK advises clients involved on both the banking side of the investment as well as clients involved on the investor's side.

In the field of payment transactions and electronic banking we advise credit and financial services institutions as well as e-money institutions, payment service providers, particularly credit card acquirers and card issuers (debit and credit card payments) as well as "hybrid" enterprises (e.g. DAX/industrial corporations) on the drafting and structuring of settlement and invoicing products. We also provide day-to-day advice to operators of cash dispensers (automatic telling machines or ATMs) and technical service providers, who support the operation of ATMs (ATM servicing).

For cross-border advice we can call on our extensive network of alliance partners.
