About Silver Cross Capital
Our Story
We Know the Work Because We've Done It.
Silver Cross Capital was founded by practitioners — people who spent years inside financial services firms navigating system migrations, regulatory change, and the gap between what technology vendors promise and what operations teams actually need. We built this consultancy because that gap is still too wide, and too few people are equipped to close it.
Our Mission
The Problem We Solve
Financial firms are under constant pressure to modernise. AI, automation, and new fintech platforms are reshaping how capital markets, treasury, and investment operations run. But the hardest part of any technology programme isn't the technology — it's knowing what you need before you buy it.
Most firms go to vendors first. Vendors sell. Requirements get defined after the contract is signed, scope expands, and implementations stall.
We come in before that moment. We work on your side — independently — to understand your operations, define your requirements, and ensure that when you do engage a vendor, you're asking the right questions and choosing the right solution.
Why Us
Our Way
Where We Come From
Our background spans capital markets systems, treasury operations, and regulatory reporting across some of the UK's leading financial institutions. We've worked with platforms including Murex, Kondor, Bloomberg, and Midas. We've navigated EMIR Refit, SFTR, and MiFID II. We've been in the rooms where trade lifecycle decisions get made and systems get chosen — and we've seen what happens when the business analysis isn't done properly.
That experience is what we bring to every engagement. Not a methodology borrowed from a textbook. The real thing.
How We Work
We are independent. We do not resell technology, take referral fees from vendors, or have preferred partnerships that colour our recommendations. Our only obligation is to the client in front of us.
We are specific. We don't offer generic digital transformation advice. We work in financial services, we understand the domain, and we focus on the business analysis and pre-sales work that determines whether a technology programme succeeds or fails before it begins.
We are direct. You'll know where you stand with us. We'll tell you what we find, what we recommend, and why — without the consulting theatre.
