FRC is the strong partner in financing and risk management matters for companies and municipalities.

FRC is transparent

Our clients
For us, every client is important: companies, municipalities, banks, financials, agencies, consultants and you!
Even the big clients need strong partners. FRC is acting globally. Nevertheless, we offer you as a quick and reliably acting provid the flexibility of a niche player.
Case Study for Municipalities
OUR SERVICES
The evolution
The evolution has been successful. We have contributed a part. Benefit from our experience.
Fairness in financial markets – also in the calculation of interest; regular accounts examination helps to ensure proper settlement of accounts and not pay too much in interest.
YOUR BENEFITS
Fairness in financial markets. Of course, banks are allowed to adjust the interest rates on current accounts up if it was so agreed. They have to cut back it, even if interest rates fall. By using finance calculation - and contract management software, we started to make this complex and complicated calculation processes transparent.
