Progressive banking
with cooperative DNA
Atruvia The banking industry is undergoing massive change. Clients expect relevant digital products and new, personalised solutions. It was clear to Fiducia & GAD IT AG, the sole IT service provider for the cooperative FinanzGruppe and responsible for managing almost 86 million client accounts, that transformation was essential for the future.
As a result, one of Germany’s largest IT companies underwent a hugely successful realignment as well as an organisational and cultural transformation process over the past few years – a massive leap from IT service provider to digitalisation partner within the cooperative FinanzGruppe. The newly configured strategy, structure and culture also required a viable change in the visual identity to help customers, employees and talents alike experience and immediately understand this fundamental shift.
The consistent adaptation of the business model to new market and customer needs as well as the organisation to a new model for collaboration follows a clear target vision and guiding principle: »We bring people and markets together. For each other.« The new »Atruvia« name brings together both ends of the brand’s DNA: the worlds of collective thinking on the one hand and pioneering financial technology on the other.
We worked with the Atruvia team to develop the new visual identity from the core of the brand: bringing technology leadership and people together. The idea of connection is an overarching brand principle that carries through all elements of the design system. Soft lines and angular details represent both sides of the brand: people and technology. We designed an overarching visual, thematic and communicative concept on the basis of this underlying idea.
The new brand provides a valuable point of orientation in the change process – and is also designed to drive it further.
Thank you to Maika and the Atruvia team! It’s amazing how you were able to implement such an extensive programme in a calm, sensible way. In the end, we were able to produce good results – and a credible, authentic brand emerged from the core team.
Atruvia is a first-class example of how the brand can strengthen corporate development processes, bringing strategy, culture and structure together in an overarching way. The company also positions itself as an attractive employer with a new name, design and brand identity. The Atruvia launch puts the finishing touch on the Fiducia & GAD merger, providing the basis for a successful future.
