Automate treasury processes

Automate treasury processes such as FX, interest and securities rate fixing. Distribute market and static data centrally to subscribed backend systems.

K&H Bank has been using the FX distribution system to manage complex FX operations in the Bank since 2007. Having spent less resources on daily operations – acquiring market data, fixing, validating and distributing to back-end systems – is just the tip of the benefits we have gained. With the validation policies and automatisms implemented, we have reduced the chances of any human failure and ensured the consistency of market data across the Bank, which is critical in our business.
