PINACLE FX Netting
Reduce Currency Exposure and Efficiently Manage Global Cash Flows
Multinational corporations face many challenges in managing growth across multiple continents, currencies and accounting systems. Treasury managers can facilitate crossborder settlements among affiliates, which can potentially increase productivity and generate cost savings with a multilateral netting solution.
PINACLE FX Netting allows you to net your worldwide intercompany payments and improve the overall efficiency of your global cash flow. The service currently supports 50 currencies. Each participating entity will make or receive a single payment once per netting cycle in their local currency. This can reduce transaction costs and can lower overall foreign exchange volumes. Plus, managing global activity centrally provides greater visibility and control.
