Liquidity and collateral

Intraday liquidity you can see while the day happens.

Cash moves all day, and so do the prices behind collateral. Calseda keeps liquidity and collateral current per account and per currency, so treasury acts on the position as it is now. Every figure can show the flows and prices that produced it.

What you can't see today

The position between one snapshot and the next.

The position right now

Treasury starts from the overnight position and a spreadsheet of expected flows, updated by hand.

Collateral at today's prices

Collateral is valued at yesterday's close. A falling market eats into it unseen.

A payment before it goes

Nobody can quickly say what releasing a large payment now would do to the buffer this afternoon.

What moved the figure

When the buffer drops, finding which flows caused it takes phone calls to operations.

What you'd see instead

11:30, a busy settlement window.

Today

  1. 08:00

    Treasury starts from the overnight position and a spreadsheet of expected flows.

  2. 11:30

    Large payments leave the EUR account, and a clearing house makes a margin call.

  3. 11:45

    Someone phones operations and updates the spreadsheet by hand.

  4. All day

    Because nobody can be sure of the position, a larger buffer is held, just in case.

With Calseda

  1. 11:30

    Each payment that settles updates the EUR account's position at once.

  2. 11:31

    The margin call is added, and the collateral against it is valued at current prices.

  3. 11:31

    The EUR buffer turns amber. Treasury sees which payments and which call moved it.

  4. 11:35

    Treasury asks privately what moving funds from the USD account would do, before acting.

An example with simulated data.

Per account and currency

Each account's position recalculated as payments settle, and only those it touches.

Collateral at current prices

Collateral and margin per counterparty, valued with the prices of now, not of last night.

"What if?" before acting

Test a payment or a transfer privately on the live position. Only you see the answer.

Told when a buffer thins

An alert reaches treasury when a buffer crosses its limit, with the flows that caused it.

See it in a demo

Settlement accounts watched against their minimums, payment by payment.

In a demo, a simulated bank's settlement accounts sit on the same board as its credit limits. Each payment updates its account's balance. Open an account to see the payments behind it, each with its source and age.

What changes for your team

Decisions from the position, not from phone calls.

Act on facts

Release or hold funds with the current position and its causes in front of you. When the position is visible all day, the buffer can be sized from what you know, not from what you fear.

Spreadsheets that stay current

Treasury keeps Excel. The figures in it are live, and adjustments go back through checks, logged with who posted them.

What your regulator or auditor gets

Intraday figures that can show their workings.

  • For each position as it stands, the flows and prices it was calculated from, with where each came from and how fresh it was.
  • A flag on any figure that rests on data older than its source should allow.
  • For every buffer breach: what caused it, and where the alert went.
  • Every manual adjustment logged with who posted it, and when.

How it starts

With one currency, next to what you run today.

  1. Pick one figure

    For example, the intraday position of the accounts in one currency.

  2. Connect the data you already have

    Payments and balances, read from the systems that already produce them. Nothing is replaced.

  3. Write the calculation

    Your developers, or ours, write it with treasury. Calseda does the rest.

  4. Run it side by side

    It runs alongside today's process, so treasury can compare the two before relying on it.
