Abstract

Introduction

The financial and economic crisis has heightened the importance for corporate treasuries to achieve full cash visibility and accessibility. This is increasing the demand for liquidity management from corporate banks on top of cash management services. Providing cash pooling is a key enabler for this, and innovation in this service is set to be a competitive necessity in the current environment.

Scope
  • Analysis of cash pooling across physical and notional pooling, with examination of developments in multi-currency, cross border and multi-bank pooling
  • Examination of the relevance of different cash pooling options across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific
  • Focus on development in cash and liquidity management innovation for both top-tier, global financial institutions and tier 2 regional/ domestic banks
Highlights

The credit crisis has elevated the importance of managing cash liquidity within the corporate treasury function over return on investment from surplus cash. With the increased cost and lower availability of credit, the consequences of mismanaging liquidity have become greater.

From a corporate treasury perspective, both physical and notional cash pooling have become an essential component of liquidity management practices, and basic cash pooling is regarded as a standard service for bank cash management services in most developed banking markets.

Key benefits cross-border cash pooling include -companies can manage treasury operations at a global level, providing higher scale to negotiate favourable terms with primary bank partners, allowing policy consistency, and creating a centralized view and reporting of overall balances across the group.

Reasons to Purchase
  • Examination of the impact of financial crisis on corporate banking business and IT priorities.
  • Liquidity management has become one of main investment growth areas in banking, and cash pooling innovation remains areas of continued innovation.
  • Analysis of success factors for delivering cross-border, multi-bank cash pooling
