• Treasury management system (TMS)A treasury management system (TMS) is software that a corporate or bank treasury uses to see cash positions, forecast cash, manage bank accounts, payments, debt, investments and foreign exchange deals, and report risks. It connects to banks through Swift, EBICS or APIs and to the group's ERP, importing statements such as camt.053.
• camt.052 (intraday account report)camt.052 is the ISO 20022 bank-to-customer account report sent during the day, showing balances and entries booked so far. It replaces the Swift MT 942 and helps treasury teams update cash positions and forecasts before the end-of-day statement arrives.
• Intraday liquidityIntraday liquidity is the money a bank can use during the business day to make payments on time: balances on central bank and correspondent accounts plus credit it can draw intraday. Intraday liquidity risk is failing to make time-critical payments because outflows come before inflows. Basel Committee tools (BCBS 248) measure it.
• Cash poolingCash pooling is a group treasury technique that concentrates or offsets the balances of many group accounts, so that surpluses fund deficits and external borrowing falls. In physical pooling (zero or target balancing) money is swept to a header account; in notional pooling balances are combined for interest only. Tax rules treat pool positions as intragroup loans.
