PINACLE FX Netting

Reduce Currency Exposure & 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.

Overview of Intercompany Netting

 

  • Helps to organize and streamline the settlement of intercompany payments.
  • Provides set payment and settlement schedule that is easy to follow.
  • Can potentially reduce FX transaction costs by centralizing and consolidating cross-border payments and making fewer payments.
  • Increases visibility of intercompany settlements.
  • Improves communication of business units; provides ability to discuss and resolve disputes.

PINACLE FX Netting Features

 

  • Flexibility to define your own cycle schedule. Frequency and duration of each netting period is completely customizable
  • Ability to run the netting program as A/P driven, A/R driven or both A/P and A/R matched.
  • Integrated discussion and dispute module with automatic email notification.
  • Final netting statements viewable online or by direct email.
  • Optional currency netting calculations: full, currency,gross and home currency.
  • Interface capabilities for import and export to ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft.
  • Role-based system access for each user with dual authorization available for approvals.

PINACLE Funds Transfer

Securely Send Funds for Same Day Settlement

You need a safe and efficient method for initiating funds transfers for same-day settlement and timely delivery of transaction-related information so you can meet important payment commitments. The PINACLE Funds Transfer module offers your authorized users a quick and reliable method for moving funds that need to settle the same day.

PINACLE’s Funds Transfer module provides secure access to your accounts so you can easily transfer funds for same-day settlement. You can also administer security privileges for your authorized users to reflect your company’s risk management protocols

Time Saving Tools for Funds Transfer Activity

Control and customize access to funds transfer initiation

  • Designate authorized representatives to initiate, approve, modify and delete payments online.
  • Initiate domestic payments, book transfers, drawdowns in U.S. dollars and international payments in U.S. dollars and foreign currency.
  • Originate payments as single or repetitive transactions, or use the payment file import functionality to import a file of payment instructions.
  • Replicate online security to mirror your risk management procedures.

Leverage easy-to-use wire transfer templates

  • Eliminate the guesswork involved with completing “generic” payment screens for wire transfers.
