Reval Survey Shows Corporate Treasuries Pushing Centralization to its Limits
London
– 29 June 2015 – Although 73
percent of respondents to a recent Reval survey of more than 200 finance
professionals report that they have already centralized control in payments management, 70
percent indicate they will centralize further in 2015. Reval, the leading
global provider of a scalable cloud platform for Treasury and Risk Management (TRM), conducted the survey in the first quarter of
2015 to financial professionals in EMEA, North America and APAC.
“Over the past years, many treasuries have moved to central
payment structures to reduce idle cash and prevent fraud,” says Günther
Peer, Vice President at Reval. “While laggards are still struggling with
cash visibility, pioneers are already implementing more sophisticated concepts
like payment factories or in-house banks. That´s where the big savings are.”
According to the Reval survey, finance professionals
feel they could significantly reduce transaction costs and bank fees by further
centralizing payments management. More advanced technology is
necessary to realize these savings, and according to the survey, every second
treasury is planning to invest in its payment IT infrastructure over the next
12 months. “Cloud-based treasury systems can help centralization of payments management and increase
visibility and efficiency,” says Peer.
