CASH POOLING THROUGH SOFTWARE

BY JAN VERMEER

Treasury Services has developed a revolutionary solution to set up cash pooling structures completely independent from banks through software

PowertoPay has created an independent payment platform that eliminates the need to adapt your systems to specific payment files of banks

ALTERNATIVE POOLING STRUCTURES

ZBA CASH POOLS

• Define Concentration account• Define the target à Single Bank Account or a Pool of Bank Accounts • Set a required Value Dated Balance on the Target• Define which type of cash flows need to be taken into account• Sweeps are automatically booked in the IHB internal accounts

HAVE MULTIPLE ENTITIES USE THE SAME BANK ACCOUNT

• Entities will book their cash flow movements on internal accounts instead of external accounts

• Software will reconcile the bank account movements with the expected cash flows.
