Many organizations have significant amounts of capital tied up in their trade finance processes. In order to resolve this, it requires an analysis of one’s technology infrastructure. What efficiencies can be gained through digitalization of an organization’s trade processes? What obstacles are slowing change in this area and how can they be overcome? It is possible that reading more about digital transformation would prove to be wise.
This panel-type session will explore how newer digital tools and approaches represent an opportunity to optimize working capital management through an expanded perspective of trade finance.

Webinar: Payment Hub Expansion | August 27
The growth in new payment rails, formats, and controls is increasing the complexity companies face. Managing the processes around more secure and “aware” payments is challenging enough with a single payment system.

This session will offer practical guidance, tools, and considerations for companies facing payments complexity, focusing on the following points:

Webinar: Three Essential Tools for Understanding Cash Management Pricing | August 6
The questions about bank fees come easy: Are we paying the right amount for our banking services? Are we being overcharged? How can we know when nothing is directly comparable and there is a lack of transparency? The answers, however, are far more difficult to find.
Understanding the “right amount” of bank fees requires understanding what others are paying and how these amounts are changing over time. Data forms the basis for this, but data must be presented clearly and understood to be useful. In this webinar, we will review select statistical and charting tools you can use to help your company better understand bank prices.
• Percentiles. Learn how percentile charts provide a basis for understanding what others are paying and where you stand. This creates easy visibility into what your expectations should be.
• Box and Whisker. This provides direct visibility into the band of pricing that exists in the market.
• Regression. Strategic Treasurer’s use of regression allows you to see the trend over time of the average price paid in the industry. Understanding the direction and influences can help you plan and better negotiate agreement terms.
To understand what is happening in the market and to negotiate favorable rates, you must have solid, up-to-date points of reference. This webinar will rely on the Feenix Guide to Bank Pricing to support various statistical and charting tools when reviewing your bank fees.
