SYdneY – aUSTralia’S cHOice lOcaTiOn FOr Financial ServiceS

Sydney has many strengths that make it a leader in the financial services industry.

The city hosts 53 of the 55 authorised deposit-taking banks in Australia, plus all of the 10 foreign subsidiary banks and all of the 31 local branches of foreign banks.

Sydney is the head office location of the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Australian Securities Exchange and the Australian Financial Markets Association.

It is the first major financial centre to open in the Asian time zone, providing a trading day that bridges the closing of the USA market and the opening of European markets.

Forty-two per cent of Australia’s financial services employees are based in Sydney and the city’s financial services workforce has grown strongly.

The sector in Sydney is now nearly half the size of London’s and more than 40 per cent the size of New York City’s workforce.

The Global Financial Centres Index ranks Sydney 10th in the world in terms of competitiveness.

Global financial services firms operating here are able to provide after-hours coverage for their USA and European operations due to our “follow-the-sun” advantage.

The city offers a highly educated, multilingual workforce and an existing cluster of financial services businesses.

A large number of companies have established mid-office operations in Sydney to service regional and global operations and activity, and the city is also a major location for high-end, middle-office processing capabilities.

Sydney is renowned for its world leading technology in infrastructure finance, alternative asset financing, project financing and real estate financing.

The city is competitive in activities such as complex settlement, funds administration, accounting and human resources, specialist technology and operations support, and multilingual call centres.

In addition, Sydney and NSW offer a great quality of life for working professionals in the financial services sector.

Raminator Anti-Ramming Security Device

It is estimated that an average ram raid – where a vehicle is used to smash into an ATM for the purpose of stealing the money – causes around $120,000 in damages to premises and equipment.

Lock-it Systems has found an effective security solution with its aptly named technology – the ATM Raminator – a 2cm high security device that sits under the ATM and absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy.

The system differs from traditional anti-ramming equipment that rely on deep foundations and ‘physical brute strength’ to stop the successful removal of equipment. Since the first Raminator was installed in Australia in 2006, most of the nation’s major financial institutions have implemented the system.

Mondelio Financial Modelling Software

Mondelio, a Windows-based software tool that eliminates errors frequently found in spreadsheets, has been developed by Australian company Mondelio. It is a fast, accurate system for reliable financial modelling.

The software was developed to handle complex financial data from multiple operating units, and provides companies with the ability to manage, analyse and report real information. It can be used to compare actual performance versus budget, consolidate figures within organisations with subsidiaries, and carry out large project evaluations where comprehensive ‘what if’ analysis is needed.

Mondelio can provide information that is forward looking rather than centred on past performance so that organisations can confidently forecast and plan for multiple outcomes.

Data Visualisation and Analysis

NetMap’s data visualisation and analysis tools help solve complex business and technical problems such as fraud by enabling mining of highly complex collections of disparate data.

Most data mining and analysis tools work by summarising and homogenising data, observing the trends and then looking for exceptions to normal behaviour. NetMap is different. It identifies the natural relationships in the data by creating nodes and links from source data. These are then manipulated using NetMap’s unique analytical methods and visualised for the analyst to interpret.

Using this approach, NetMap can discover the subtle, hidden and indirect patterns that link people, places, objects, actions and outcomes.
