Payments automation is revolutionising payables and receivables (AP/AR) by reducing the time needed to manually track invoices and manage collections. For the treasurer, this automation provides greater data visibility for a more complete and accurate cash forecast.

In the era of real time payments, the drive toward automation is accelerating. This session presents practical case studies and expert insight on how automating payables and receivables cycles assists in predicting cash flow, liquidity planning, and working capital needs. Treasurers will discuss strategies for partnering with internal AP/AR and technical teams, and external banking partners, to achieve systems interoperability in automating real-time payment technologies.

Transaction and treasury banking services are shifting as digital assets evolve from experimental instruments to core institutional infrastructure. The rise of stablecoins, now surpassing a $300 billion issuance, and tokenized deposits enables 24/7 instantaneous settlement that bypasses the friction of traditional correspondent banking. For corporate treasurers, digital assets promise precision in automated cash forecasting and liquidity management.

This shift to faster tokenized payments enables treasury to go ‘on chain,’ activate smart contracts, and integrate blockchain workflows to deliver atomic settlement and multi-currency liquidity pools in real-time. As regulatory frameworks and global standards evolve, digital assets are gaining increasing use cases and applications in treasury and transaction banking, enabling new approaches to cash, FX, liquidity, payments, and risk management. Here banks discuss how services are changing in the era of digital assets.
