Oivind Andresen

I help banks and financial services firms meeting their prudential regulatory requirements focussing on capital and liquidity.

I lead the Banking Prudential Team in FS Advisory, bringing over 20 years of experience in financial services. Before joining BDO, I spent seven years at Barclays, working in the regulatory capital team for the Corporate and Investment Bank. I work closely with banks in the UK and overseas, helping them navigate complex regulatory requirements set by various regulators.

My role involves being a regulatory subject matter expert, supporting clients in resolving complex and critical issues. I collaborate with a wide range of banks, from large international Tier 1 banking groups to start-up tech-based challenger banks and regional building societies. The diversity and complexity of this community is the favourite part of my job, as it requires considering cultural differences, personalities, and technical challenges in a fast-paced environment.

Over the past ten years, I've supported several high-profile banks in obtaining their banking licences and helped them tackle critical regulatory issues. I maintain strong relationships with these banks and I am proud of having introduced them to other parts of BDO, both in the UK and internationally.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, two daughters, and our dog. We are an active family, so most weekends are spent doing sports with my kids. I'm also an avid runner and try to complete a couple of ultra marathons each year.
