Webinar: The Guide to Bank Pricing: Navigating the Range | May 9
The difficulty of bank fee negotiation stems largely from a lack of transparency around pricing and the rapid movement of bank fee prices. To understand what is happening in the market and to negotiate favorable rates, you must have solid, up-to-date points of reference. The Feenix Guide to Bank Pricing was created by analyzing a huge data set of year-over-year corporate bank account analysis statements, providing extensive points of reference for understanding market trends and the range of fees charged. The data represents global, super-regional, regional, and smaller banks.
This session will explore key points in our data set and how to utilize the guide to clarify your account analysis pricing. Does it make sense for your company to get assistance or implement a system to track bank fees over time? This webinar is aimed at easing the headache of understanding bank fees.
Webinar: Understanding Payment Formats | May 14

This webinar will cover many of the key elements of payment formats, including both the older style (MT101, Fedwire, ACH) as well as newer payment formats (XML-ISO20022/pain.001, API). The information in this session is targeted to hit the relevant level of detail for treasury staff.

Webinar: How to Never Worry About FBAR Again | April 4
The Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) is now a well-established compliance reporting requirement for many corporations and their signers. For most, compliance activities are a headache of sorts. They require care and focus but can feel like a distraction.

This session will explore the key requirements of FBAR and the core elements of the process that must be completed. When would a company manage the entire process internally? When does it make sense to get assistance? Knowing what a proper process looks like in the context of the annual calendar can provide helpful structure for those who don’t find compliance to be their burning passion at work.
