In April 2021, Fondsdepot Bank and the consulting and research institute ibi research at the University of Regensburg GmbH signed a partnership agreement. This means that the leading platform for the trading and custody of fund units has become a member of the ibi partner network - an extensive innovation network in the field of financial services and trading. In the independent network, which specialises in technical and IT issues, research results are shared, experts from the financial services industry are brought together on a neutral platform, and intensive dialogue and the valuable exchange of ideas, concepts and experience are promoted.
Jürgen Knab, Chief Information Officer of Fondsdepot Bank, is looking forward to the exchange: "The combination of science, application-oriented experience from practice and knowledge about the requirements of sales partners and customers forms the ideal basis for digital innovations in companies. In order to not only keep up with the high pace of development, but to develop real innovations, networks of competent partners are needed today. We are certain that in ibi research we have found such a partner in our industry who can give us impulses."
The company has already been able to prove several times that Fondsdepot Bank meets today's requirements. The fund platform as well as its products and services have repeatedly received awards from various renowned institutes - among others, as Digital Champion in the German Digital Economy category. Now the focus is increasingly on meeting future requirements and expanding the market leadership.
ibi research Managing Director Dr. Anja Peters is also pleased about the new addition to the ibi partner network: "With Fondsdepot Bank, we have gained an innovative partner that not only expands our network, but will also provide valuable impulses for our research and project activities with its expertise in the areas of digitalisation, service orientation and sustainability. We are very happy about this reinforcement and look forward to working together.
