Liquidity Management Portal: Finance at Your Fingertips

Liquidity Management Portal: Finance at Your Fingertips 


Poor visibility is one of corporate treasury’s greatest challenges and a major obstacle to more efficient liquidity management. It also consumes precious treasury resources that could be devoted to more valuable strategic activities. HSBC’s new Liquidity Management Portal (LMP) has been developed with the specific aim of resolving these issues and maximising liquidity visibility by streamlining the underlying data management. Nick Powell, Global Head of Commercialisation, Liquidity and Investment Products and Ray Suvrodeep, Global Head of Deposit and Investments Product Management, Global Liquidity and Cash Management at HSBC explain how LMP can transform liquidity management for the better, both immediately and in the future, as well as supporting treasury’s strategic participation.

Data, data, data

Liquidity is only manageable if it is visible. Even if that visibility is achievable, for many treasuries it remains a resource hungry process. Traversing multiple bank platforms to download data, emailing subsidiaries for spreadsheets of cash positions, then aggregating and normalising all the resulting information, before trying to analyse, forecast, decide and act.

By automatically aggregating the necessary information across investments, cash, liquidity structures and providers, LMP radically improves this situation – but instant data management is only part of the picture. LMP also delivers the tools to give users the best possible insight into their liquidity data. From that solid basis, they can move on to take the best possible liquidity decisions and actions for their business.
