TreasuryCast

Johnny Grimes, Deutsche Bank, joins TMI's Eleanor Hill in the TreasuryCast studio to cover the ways in which treasury functions have hastily adapted to counteract the disruption caused by the ongoing pandemic. Our guest considers how an accelerated pace of innovation, and the resulting solutions, has played a monumental role in pushing digital connectivity to the forefront of treasurers' priorities over the last 12 months.

Preparing for the unknown is a challenge. But forward-thinking treasurers are beginning to access real-time useable data to optimise cash forecasting – and automating investment processes. Eleanor Hill speaks to Jim Scurlock (Microsoft), Luc Vlaminck (Rémy Cointreau), Jonathan Spirgel (Hazeltree) and Ed Lopez (Calastone) to assess how treasurers are managing their organisation's cash and liquidity requirements to strategically advance their role and their team's capabilities.

The second instalment of the Journeys to Treasury podcast series sees Wim Grosemans, BNP Paribas Cash Management, and Didier Vandenhaute, PwC, consider why centralisation has become such a persistent theme for treasurers in a Covid-19 world. In this episode, our speakers consider the benefits and pitfalls of centralisation projects - and explain how technology can help treasurers prepare for a structural treasury shift which is now more imperative than ever.

In this special edition of TreasuryCast, Jan Dirk van Beusekom, BNP Paribas, and François Masquelier, SimplyTREASURY, join Eleanor Hill to contemplate findings from the first chapter of the 2020 - 2021 Journeys to Treasury report, entitled 'Looking back, thinking ahead'. Our guests reflect on the main treasury trends that have gathered pace over the last 12 months, including a rising uptake in real-time solutions and an increased need to combat cybercrime. They also paint an accurate and useful picture of the 2021 treasury landscape.

How can technology advances - and fintech solutions - help to streamline the banking experience for corporates?

Morgan) join TMI's Eleanor Hill to discuss the innovations that the financial community should keep a close eye on going in to 2021 and beyond.

TMI's Eleanor Hill invites Sara Savidge and Colm O'Monachain, Merchant Services, Wholesale Payments, J.P. Morgan to sit in the TreasuryCast hotseat and discuss how corporate treasurers are responding to the changing world of e-commerce.
