BCA - Digital Advisor Software

In this case study, we show you how we built the digital bridge for intelligent investment advisory between BCA´s brokers and clients based on our modular software Fincite.CIOS.

BCAs Challenges

The BCA Group is an established player in the German intermediary financial services business. As a full-service provider for independent intermediaries, multiple agents and tied agents, BCA, BCA VVS and Bank für Vermögen provide a comprehensive offering and settlement infrastructure for insurance and investment business, as well as various digital interfaces to the customer.

BCA's vision was to offer its customers and advisors the best digital investment experience in the financial services sector. This vision was the trigger for our collaboration. The challenge was to create a digital and intuitive investment platform that meets all of BCA's requirements, from onboarding to reporting.
