About WSD and PRIIP Cloud service:

We specialize in helping banks automate the issuance process for structured products. In plain English, a structured product is a financial product, not unlike a savings account, where the return to the investor depends on the performance of an underlying asset (e.g., a stock or an index). While structured products tend to offer a higher return than savings account, they also tend to have a higher risk. Therefore, the issuance (i.e., the creation) of a structured product and its offering to investors is highly regulated. EU's regulations require a key information document (KID) for each structured product. We offer banks automation solutions to generate such documents. Over 850,000 documents are automatically generated and delivered to our bank clients on a daily basis. The banks are required to produce these documents in 20+ languages.
