Treasury transformation: your questions answered
Here are answers to key questions from treasury and finance leaders about modernising treasury operations.
Find ING near youHow do we build a sustainability-linked financing framework into our treasury operations?
ING works with you to integrate ESG criteria into treasury policies and approval workflows. We help identify relevant sustainability KPIs, document the framework in line with your governance requirements, and establish reporting cadences that align with board and audit expectations. Our approach focuses on practical implementation—ensuring the financing structure supports your sustainability objectives while maintaining clear accountability and auditability throughout the process.
How can we improve multi-bank cash visibility and concentration across regions?
Consolidating regional bank accounts into group-level visibility starts with standardised connectivity and reporting. ING provides tools to aggregate balances and transaction data from multiple banking partners, giving you a clearer view for forecasting and decision-making. We can also structure cash pooling and concentration arrangements where appropriate, taking into account local regulations and intercompany agreements to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.
How do we maintain governance and controls during treasury transformation?
Policy-aligned structures and controls reduce risk by ensuring clear signatories, segregation of duties, limit structures, and proper documentation. ING supports you in implementing these controls within your agreed governance framework, including audit trails and regular reviews. We work closely with your internal stakeholders to ensure that any new treasury arrangements respect your existing policies and provide the necessary transparency for compliance and internal audit requirements.
Can we access consistent global treasury support across all our jurisdictions?
