Can DBS Cash Concentration support structures in different currencies?

Yes. However, each structure can only consist of accounts of the same currency.

Can DBS handle back-valued transactions?

Yes, we can. We recalculate your balances for previous dates if there is a back-valued transaction and perform a back-valued sweep accordingly.

What’s the difference between Notional Pooling and Cash Concentration?

Cash Concentration requires the physical movement of funds into one account. Inter-company loans are created as funds move between the accounts of different companies. There is no physical movement of funds for Notional Pooling as account balances are notionally set-off.

Can we do this on a regional basis?

Yes, you can access our regional liquidity management capabilities, such as cross-border sweep and interest optimisation. However, they are subject to the regulations of each country.

Can I sweep funds from other banks to my DBS account?

Yes, we have the ability to pool in funds from other banks, from anywhere in the world, as long as the third-party bank participates in the SWIFT network.
