About Us

A Letter from our Chairman, Bill Isaac

More than 30 years in banking – first as a banker, then as Chairman of the FDIC and later as a consultant – have given me a unique perspective on the increasingly volatile and competitive nature of the financial services industry. As founder and Chairman of The Secura Group, I am committed to ensuring that our firm grows and changes to keep pace with our clients’ goals and needs.

Today Secura is widely acknowledged as one of the nation’s premier financial institutions consulting firms.

In the midst of what I believe is one of the most exciting and challenging times in the financial services industry, management needs to have confidence that the advice they receive makes sound business sense and satisfies the expectations of the regulators. Secura has a proven record of doing just that. Our firm delivers even the most complex and sophisticated assistance in the highly personalized and attentive style to which our clients have become accustomed.

Since the firm was founded, nearly 600 clients in the United States and around the world have looked to Secura through more than 1,100 consulting assignments for help in understanding regulatory, legislative, technological and business challenges and seizing the business opportunities these challenges present. Our clients have included nine of the top 10 U.S. banking organizations and 25 of the top 50 U.S. banking organizations.  Our clients also have included seven of the top 10 foreign banks operating in the United States and 12 of the top 25.  We have completed nearly 200 assignments for more than 70 foreign banks operating in the United States.

Secura is a recognized leader in:

• the identification and management of all forms of business and regulatory risks, including outsourcing the loan review and regulatory risk management functions if it will result in improved quality and/or lower costs;
  
• helping foreign banking organizations negotiate the U.S. regulatory landscape and establish and conduct their U.S. operations successfully;
  
• assisting foreign governments to resolve banking crises, designing and implementing bank supervisory structures, and developing deposit insurance systems;
  
• organizational assessments, compensation plans, and a range of other services that speak to the human resource aspects of managing change;
  
• developing strategies to stay ahead of a changing environment, including profit enhancement strategies and financial advisory services such as strategic options assessments, takeover defenses, acquisition assistance, valuation analysis, and capital planning; and
  
• understanding and dealing successfully with all aspects of regulatory and examination processes.

Yours truly,

Bill Isaac
