Treasury Strategies, the Treasury consulting firm to corporations and financial institutions, released a case study on one of the most important transformations in Cash Management-the adoption of electronic trading systems by banks and financial institutions for their corporate clients.
The study examined the features and benefits that online trading platforms have provided to two of the nation’s largest financial institutions while also highlighting their differences. While both selected the same financial software provider – Cachematrix – for the development and implementation of their respective systems, the resulting benefits were unique for each institution.
“Under increased audit, compliance, and regulatory concerns, corporate treasurers are seeking greater control, transparency, and efficiency in managing their core and operating cash through the use of buying institutional money funds and ultra safe short term fixed income securities via online trading systems,” says Chrystal Pozin of Treasury Strategies. “Web-based trading, research and reporting tools are rapidly being adopted by banks to address the needs of their corporate clients. This case study shows a path to success in two scenarios.”
A copy of the study, “Web-based Trading Platforms: Improving Efficiency and Control for Users and Providers,” is available here.
