Transaction Banking & Cash Management Masterclass

Course Overview

This comprehensive Transaction Banking & Cash Management Masterclass will focus on the overall needs of a typical company organisation and its treasury activities and operations. It will examine how clients’ strategy and business models drive the need for effective Treasury & Cash management within the organisation and how this impacts the client’s requirement for transaction banking services.

We will also investigate how transaction banking is digitalising and how the digital transformation is impacting the ecosystem of banks and companies and the disruptive forces of start-ups and technology.

The training provides a four-step approach.

• Firstly, it covers all aspects of Transaction Banking, both from a corporate treasury and a transaction banking perspective, while FX, Liquidity, Risk, Technology, Trade & Supply chain finance are fully integrated as it is an integrated part of transaction service from the company’s perspective.
• Secondly, focus on the needs of the corporate client and how the Bank is able to fulfil these needs by its Balance Sheet and technology to offer the services to its selective client groups not only today but also for the future.
• Thirdly, we will explore how transaction banking is disrupted by technology, fintech’s and market forces as well how new technology is disrupting and how banks should empower their staff to add value.
• Lastly, we will make the translation how the Banks value proposition delivers value to its customers.

This programme will allow bank staff to better understand how the bank’s transaction banking solutions can support its customers in a way that is both efficient and financially rewarding for both sides.
