Usages of AI in Corporate Treasury

Report date: 
1 Apr 2026

AI is everywhere. It dominates many business discussions – and, of course, is having a profound impact on the equity and funding markets. 

In treasury, the main focus so far has been on cash forecasting. This is a promising area: it is a real problem for treasurers, and some are reporting improvements. But it is complex, and the quality of historical data in many companies’ systems is an issue.

For this report, treasurers shared with us the increasing number of uses they are finding for AI. These usually improve productivity, and include various automation efforts, such as using the tools to generate and verify bank and capital markets agreements, as well as monitoring internal systems accesses. Increasingly, AI is being used to write internal software and bots to help with these tasks.

In turn, this is having an impact on the skills in treasury: increasingly, staff members and interns who can use AI tools are making a significant contribution. At the same time, IT policies, which were initially very concerned about potential data leaks, are becoming more open – and yes, most companies have one.

We are in the early stages of a journey which will change the way we all work. Find out more in the report.

Corporate Treasury : Kyriba TMS User Experiences

Report date: 
10 Jun 2024

In the CXC Treasury Technology Benchmark we gather unfiltered feedback from treasurers who actively use major TMS platforms. Unlike insights shaped by vendors' marketing materials, our approach is akin to independent product reviews, offering candid user experiences in a confidential setting.

This session focused on Kyriba, one of the most frequently discussed TMSs in treasury circles. Given the sensitivities around corporate relationships with providers, we have taken extra precautions to ensure anonymity.

The discussion provided valuable insights into user satisfaction, areas of strength, and recurring challenges. While some features received consistently positive feedback, perspectives varied widely on others. Certain factors emerged as significant concerns for multiple participants, influencing their long-term outlook on the system.

For those considering a TMS or evaluating their current setup, this report delivers a nuanced view of Kyriba from the perspective of experienced users. The full version contains detailed, practical insights that could be instrumental in shaping treasury technology decisions.

Corporate Treasury Technology Roadmaps

Report date: 
1 Sep 2023

Commentary

Technology is changing the way many businesses work: with online commerce, many traditionally B2B businesses are moving to B2C. Logistics and supply chains are being transformed. Ride hailing and food delivery services operate real time payment systems. Assets we used to buy are increasingly available as a service, often linked to the internet of things.

Where are our banks in this turmoil? And how are treasurers adapting? We wanted to get a first view. Judging by the response we received, we are clearly not alone in being very interested.

This report is long – even the summary takes several pages, and it does not capture all the nuances. It is well worth reading the detail – it clearly lays out the challenges treasurers are facing.

Business transformation

For the time being, treasurers are adopting a wait-and-see approach to business changes. When the business moves to B2C, or becomes a full asset as a service enterprise, treasury will adapt accordingly. In the meantime, treasurers see no need to get ahead of the business, or even necessarily be a change agent.

On the other hand, CXC members who are in the new, online enabled industries are, of necessity, proving to be early adopters of the new technologies.

Communicating with banks

Over the years, centralised global and regional treasury management has been enabled by online banking tools with balance reporting, remote account management and payment initiation.

This has brought enormous benefits to treasury management. But it is not perfect:

  • Mostly, the data is not real time. It is often yesterday’s balance and transactions
  • There are many different tools: host to host, e-banking systems, SWIFT reporting, APIs
  • Security protocols remain a conce
