ASSISTANCE WITH YOUR EMERGENCY FUEL PROGRAM
Today’s financial industry works under increasing scrutiny and regulation. Smart businesses are looking for ways to minimize exposure and maximize continuity and security. Our emergency fuel program satisfies the redundancy requirements placed on financial institutions by insurance companies. Essentially, we support and maintain your backup generator; however, no bank or financial firm can keep going without people. Therefore, we also provide emergency fuel for your employees, so they can be there to keep your doors open during demanding times.
The same goes for insurance companies. Following a devastating event that cripples the utility infrastructure, the last thing a company needs is insurance adjusters who simply cannot answer the call. Whether it’s providing vehicle fuel for adjusters who are first to the field or keeping an office building backup generator topped off, Foster Fuels Mission Critical can deliver in the wake of a disaster—allowing you to spend your time serving your customers.
WHAT IS THE COST OF DOWNTIME IN THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY?
How bad is downtime for a financial company? As long as you get things back up and running relatively quickly, you can contain the problem of downtime, right? If this is your way of thinking, the statistics on financial industry downtime might surprise you.
The cost of downtime in the financial industry can be massive. The truth is, losing only a few minutes of power can have tremendous consequences. According to survey data, the cost of downtime to online brokerages is 6.48 million dollars per hour. While not all financial industry businesses have that level of exposure, research shows that the average bank or financial institution loses about $224,000 per year due to downtime.
However, the cost of downtime for your financial industry business can be more than just financial. A solid financial business is built on trust. When you’re handling people’s money, they want the peace of mind of knowing that you are an institution they can count on. If you’re stuck without power for any length of time, you can’t provide the service your clients need when they need it. That can mean a loss of consumer confidence, which can be devastating for your business far beyond the immediate financial repercussions.
With statistics like these, it’s easy to see why, for a financial corporation, a backup fuel supply is important. And yet, for a surprising number of companies in the financial industry, emergency preparedness and fueling is not a top priority. Significant downtime due to loss of power is inevitable unless you have a reliable source of generator fuel to help your financial corporation stay up and running. Enlist the services of Foster Fuels. You can always rely on fuel services from Foster Fuels’ Mission Critical division for financial corporation emergency fuel.
