We are passionate about banks and insurance companies

As a management consultancy, we have been collaborating closely with clients from the banking and insurance industries on a wide variety of projects for more than 30 years. The two university professors Prof. Dr. Schierenbeck und Prof. Dr. Rolfes, supported by the first few employees, founded zeb in Münster in 1992, naming the company “Zentrum für ertragsorientiertes Bankmanagement” (in English: Center for profit-oriented bank management). 

Our service offering focuses on strategy, management, IT and HR consulting. In addition to our consulting staff, we employ a team of software developers whose task it is to turn our theoretical concepts into fully-fledged software solutions ready to be used by our clients from the banking and insurance industries. Our HR projects are not just about supporting our clients in the development of new strategies or regulatory compliance, but also about coaching and training their staff.

zeb’s range of services

Due to our specialization in the banking and insurance industries, our range of services covers the entire value chain: from engaging our client’s customers and empowering the people in their organization to developing successful products and sales concepts. In recent years, we have built up a comprehensive consulting portfolio by founding additional subsidiaries, developing our own software solutions, setting up project groups and designing various new concepts. This also benefits our employees who can choose from a wide range of topics to specialize in.
