It wasn’t too long ago that having automated bank account management was considered more ‘nice to have’ than necessity. Markets were plum, cash was flowing freely and corporate treasuries could seemingly easily handle the management of the accounts manually.

Within a few short years, how you manage your banking relationships has now come center stage and plays a critical role in holding down costs, focusing staff more effectively and reducing bottom line impact.
