Treasured: resources to empower treasurers
Treasurers are changing the world - and given digital transformation, collaborating across departments to inform effective outcomes is on the rise. Treasurers are finding new ways to create value by speaking the language of their peers across the business and leading with influence.
The more the business is challenged, the more treasury involvement should happen.

user needs
Businesses are increasingly using payments as an avenue towards digital transformation, by creating additive experiences for the customer or supplier on the other side of the transaction. Treasurers who understand users' expectations of omni-channel and frictionless payments can influence the build of an ideal solution.

"We’re excited about the potential of this brand-new tool. With Real-Time Payments, there’s no more waiting. I just hope the rest of the commercial real estate industry adopts this technology."
Treasurer and Senior Vice President
Hunt Companies
Businesses now view a best-in-class customer experience as a competitive advantage, much like price or product quality. Payments can help to drive that experience: consumers now expect frictionless, often invisible payments, embedded within their buying journey, and want the ability to connect their experience across channels.
LEARN MOREThe explosion of the gig economy now means that many organizations employ on-call or temporary workers. These employees may make employment decisions around the ability to instantly receive their pay, making earned wage access a competitive differentiator for platform-based business models.
LEARN MOREBusinesses have seen in recent years how critical an efficient supply chain is to meeting business needs. Many Operational Executives have adopted practices such as nearshoring, diversification of suppliers and closer inventory management. Treasurers have a huge role to play here, by advocating for payment solutions that enhance these practices and analysing the impact on a firm’s cash flow.

An understanding of how new technology integrates into preexisting systems can help Treasury identify operational risks, cash flow risks and even potential impacts on credit risk.
LEARN MOREBeing able to communicate the workflow of new trust and safety tools, such as proactive controls which can help stop fraud before it happens, can be helpful in bringing the business up the learning curve throughout implementation. It’s equally important to communicate any bottlenecks or timeline updates.

your core skills
Most treasurers understand risk, but their partners may fail to understand the need for additional trust and safety layers that fortify against emerging and ongoing concerns.
