LIQUIDITY
COLLECTIONS
PAYMENTS
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
Liquidity management is a set of techniques and strategic policies that enables companies to achieve optimal profitability from under-utilised cash and increase control over cash flows. It is the management of the cash balances and short-term investment strategies. The efficient management of cash improves profitability, reduces risk exposure and thereby prevents bankruptcy.
Services offered by our liquidity management team include:
Pooling
Pooling (also referred to as notional pooling) allows the bank to pool cash in your liquidity management structure. You will accrue or be charged interest, depending on the net balance of the pooled cash. This varies depending on whether you have a negative balance or a positive balance. The primary purpose of a notional pool is to reduce the overdraft interest when you have a negative balance or to maximise interest on your cash when you have a positive balance. There is no movement of your cash from your account and there is no co-mingling of balances, we simply get a snapshot of your cash position. Notional pooling, where allowed, is normally part of a product set offered to customers.
Sweeping
Here, balances (both debit and credit) in participating accounts are physically transferred into a concentration, master or nominated account for management by group treasury. Sweeping can be done on a zero-balance basis, where the balances in the accounts are brought to zero or where accounts are left at a target level. Sweeping between legal entities creates intercompany loans, on which interest must be paid or received. This is very beneficial when you have independent companies within a group structure, or independent cash generating departments within a single company.
You also get to enjoy an exchange control advisory service which assists with advice on cross-border liquidity management services
Stanbic Bank’s collection solutions ensure value is passed to your accounts as quickly and securely as possible, and that enough information is provided for you to identify the source of any funds entering your accounts.

DEBT CAPITAL MARKETS?
Through issuing bonds or derivatives, investments in the bond market tend to diversify risk and enhance fixed income returns. Debt markets provide more direct access to capital with better long-term efficiency.
SECURITISATION?
By converting liquid assets with predictable cash flows into tradable securities, securitisation offers an attractive option for investors seeking diversification and securities with a high credit quality. For clients needing to optimise their funding and/or capital structures, it is an alternative source of finance at a lower rate than traditional term funding.
