Tom Alford (TMI) speaks with Tory Hinton (Northern Trust Asset Management) to discuss findings of the 2025 Global Treasury Investments Survey, which collated insights from over 300 treasurers. They examine why liquidity remains a dominant concern, along with the rise of MMF adoption, evolving investment policies, and the growing necessity of technology and tokenisation.

Tory outlines the report's key takeaways, from the demand for instant access to cash to the widening divide between digitally advanced treasuries and those slower to innovate. The conversation also highlights emerging trends and offers practical guidance on turning insights into meaningful action.

Eleanor Hill (TMI) speaks with Sam Jacob (BNY) about why liquidity management remains front-of-mind as corporate treasury transitions further towards a digital ecosystem.

This candid conversation explores innovations such as tokenised MMFs, AI, and automation, and highlights how these tools enhance forecasting, optimise liquidity mobilisation, improve efficiency, and support strategic decision-making, while protecting treasury teams against regulatory, operational, and technological risks.

Eleanor Hill (TMI) sits down with Arnault Gitzinger (Datalog TMS) to explore how treasurers can ensure that digitalisation serves their strategic goals rather than driving them. They discuss the extent of treasury's digital evolution and where automation should, and shouldn't, take hold.

This candid conversation covers integration challenges, regulatory standards and data security, alongside the growing role of AI, e-invoicing, and tokenisation. Our guest highlights how interoperability and collaboration between systems can unlock efficiency and visibility while keeping control, compliance, and risk management firmly in treasurers' hands.

Recorded live at the recent Sibos conference in Frankfurt, TMI's Eleanor Hill speaks with Wim Grosemans (BNP Paribas) about how treasurers are adapting to the fast-changing payments landscape.

Wim provides practical guidance for treasurers on implementing SEPA Instant, overcoming adoption hurdles, managing cross-border payments efficiently, leveraging ISO 20022 for interoperability, and ensuring real-time liquidity and settlement processes are fully optimised for corporate operations.

Eleanor Hill (TMI) sits down with Peter Reynolds (ThetaRay) live at the 2025 Sibos Conference to discuss how developments in AML are changing the day-to-day reality of transaction banking.

Together they explore the impact of Europe's new single AML rulebook, the rise of AI-driven compliance, and how greater transparency, data governance, and harmonisation promise to transform friction into faster, more trusted treasury operations.

Over 3/4 respondents to PwC's 2025 Global Treasury Survey cited FX risk as their most critical economic exposure. In this episode, Robin Page (TMI) speaks with Michiel Mannaerts (PwC) about what's driving this focus, including geopolitical uncertainty, shifting supply chains, and currency volatility.

Our guest explores operational challenges in FX management, the trade-offs between centralised and decentralised exposures, AI and predictive analytics, practical hedging strategies, and how treasurers can build robust FX frameworks to strengthen resilience and improve decision-making to better manage cost and strategic flexibility.

How can multiplying challenges be overcome to make trade less complicated? The answer, like trade itself, is constantly evolving. In this first of two articles, Bank of America's George Fong, APAC Head of Trade and SCF, and Olivier Anceau, APAC Head of Specialised Product Sales, reveal how innovative solutions can simplify operations, boost resilience, and empower treasurers to thrive in complex trade corridors.

Trends and buzzwords come and go, but the real changes in treasury have come as a result of steady evolution. Drawing on years of dialogue with clients across the globe, Dick Oskam, ING's Global Head of Transaction Services Sales, reflects on treasury's transformation – from fragmented systems to real-time cash management – driven by technology, regulation, and resilience.

Live from Sibos, TMI's Eleanor Hill speaks with Alexandre Kech (GLEIF) about how verified organisational identity is reshaping corporate treasury. They discuss the growing importance of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) in enabling trust, transparency, and efficiency across global payments.

Alexandre also explores how LEIs can help treasurers combat fraud in instant payments, streamline counterparty verification, and reduce friction in cross-border transactions through wider industry and regulatory adoption.

Live from Sibos, TMI's Eleanor Hill speaks with Kevin Flood (FIS) about the next wave of payments innovation and what it really means for corporate treasurers.

Our guest discusses how banks and providers are enhancing the corporate payments experience and balancing innovation with treasurers' core priorities around speed, accuracy, and reconciliation. Kevin also explores the rise of Payments-as-a-Service and why modernising infrastructure will be key to meeting regulatory deadlines and enabling the next generation of instant payments.
