Fintech Rapyd has announced the launch of a multi-currency Treasury Solution for international payments operations’ optimisation in the APAC region. 

 

A collection of cash management features and solutions, Treasury Solution is believed to help with enhancing financial relationships of companies that are engaged in cross-border trade. CFOs, treasurers, and controllers alike will be enabled to customise how they manage liquidity, balance currencies, mitigate currency risk, while simultaneously working towards the improvement of their Singapore-based treasury hub. With the multi-currency solution, global firms will be enabled to carry out fund management without having to go through the complexity, frustration and additional costs associated with the handling of different banking relationships, payment providers, and funds flows across countries and currencies. 

Suited for companies of any size, be those mature international enterprises looking to enhance treasury operations or finance professionals at emerging regional exporters who are looking to compete more effectively, the solution is believed to help companies achieve costs that are 70-90% lower than conventional methods. This result is thought to be accomplished by lowering the number and frequency of required wire transfers, decreasing fees associated with cross-border banking, offering competitive FX rates, and having fund collection and disbursement operations optimised.
