Dentsu Aegis Network – Global Payment Standards with BELLIN and SWIFT

Headquartered in London, Dentsu Aegis Network is a combination of Aegis Media and Dentsu Inc.’s non-Japanese media businesses which was formed following the c. £3.2 bn acquisition of Aegis Group plc by Dentsu Inc. in March 2013. Dentsu Aegis Network is one of the world’s leading media and digital agencies, generating annual turnover in excess of £16 bn across a worldwide network covering over 80 countries and employing over 20,000 employees. 

The challenge for Dentsu Aegis Network: Obtain a group-wide overview

The treasury team at Dentsu Aegis Network is centrally organised, managing cash, funding and foreign exchange on a group-wide basis. Having visibility over cash and debt balances across the group is critical to manage liquidity effectively. The challenge was to do this in a time and cost-efficient way – bearing in mind that the group operates 1000+ accounts with 100+ banks across 80+ countries. In addition, the group was seeking to streamline its payment activities across these accounts and thus generate cost savings.
