Payments and Cash Lifecycle Management

The payments industry is the most innovative it has ever been and the way corporate organisations can pay and get paid is evolving rapidly. The need for real-time cash visibility demands centralised payments hubs, real-time payment execution with tracking and new payment platforms. Real-time working capital efficiency demands all of this plus more efficient multi-bank management. Treasurers are now expected to be key directors of the business with a say on strategic direction thanks to real-time, consolidated insight and automation.

It incorporates a full range of cash lifecycle activities including global multi-bank connectivity, powerful cash and liquidity management tools and cyber fraud risk management solutions.
