Payment Factory 2.0: Corporate Transaction Banking
With increasing attention being paid to the topic of liquidity, corporations are under ever more pressure to devise ways to manage their cash more effectively. Many corporations today are managing their payments processing and bank accounts in one of three ways— regionally, at the business unit level or at the subsidiary level. While these methods may offer a certain degree of flexibility, at the same time they often result in poor visibility and high operational costs as well as potential for fraud-related risk.
Additionally, emerging regulatory frameworks, such as Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and Sarbanes-Oxley, pressure corporations to re-think the payments and cash management processes. A Payment Factory helps multinational organizations to realize company-wide centralization of payment processing connectivity with local subsidiaries; allowing payment capture and processing, account statement retrieval, and reconciliation within a single centralized solution.
