Kyriba augments its marketplace with Jiko's direct access to T-Bills

Through this new capability, Kyriba’s clients will be able to proactively manage their T-bill holdings with simplicity, security, and improved liquidity.

A corporate money storage solution to help Kyriba’s clients

Jiko’s corporate Money Storage solution allows treasurers to seamlessly have their cash directly deployed into T-bills, held at custody bank BNY Mellon. Jiko’s key innovation lies in the blending of the payment technology of its national bank with the proprietary trading and ledgering technology of its registered broker-dealer, allowing clients to conveniently deploy cash into T-bill maturities of their choosing (currently 1, 3, 6, and 12 months) without having to hire traders or work through complex brokerage interfaces.

Jiko automatically invests or liquidates positions when a wire instruction is received, and recently showcased the ability to do so quickly and at scale by completing a same-day withdrawal of over USD 100 million for a corporate customer.

Kyriba’s officials said that Jiko makes it very easy to deploy cash into T-bills – the popular low-risk asset class that has historically been cumbersome for corporates to access. The availability of Jiko Money Storage in Kyriba’s Marketplace gives their clients the flexibility to grow their liquidity securely and without penalty, as treasury teams strive to optimise liquidity planning and reduce their vulnerability to rising interest rates.
