    Why global pharmaceutical corporate Merck is switching to the ISO 20022 standard

    The milestone of November 2026 is now firmly on the horizon for corporates to adjust postal address information in their payment instructions and move their payments to ISO 20022. This podcast hears how Merck has been preparing for migration, with Uwe Reinemer, Head of Treasury Technology & Digitalisaton, in conversation with Deutsche Bank’s Kerstin Schoenwitz. She is responsible for managing ISO 20022, Corporate-to-Bank Standardisation & Global Formats. Key takeaways: ISO 20022 is the future of payments, and not just for banks. If corporates fail to implement this messaging standard into their systems, this could disrupt processing of their payments.Migration is not just another IT product – but a strategic development. The better data that comes with this delivers significant efficiencies in all aspects of payments and reconciliation. External migration and internal migration are very different.Proactive planning and enterprise collaboration are vital. If you have started migrating, keep testing and adjusting. And if you have not – get going now!Tune into this new episode of the flow InCorporateTreasury Podcast to learn more. Specialist terms used .camt.

    Revamping treasury reporting at MANN+HUMMEL

    Getting access to high-quality and consistent data is key for steering a treasury department. Only if you have a well-structured reporting landscape, you can achieve transparency on liquidity, cash and FX risks and make informed decisions on financing, investing, and hedging. This is why “improving treasury reporting has been in the back of mind since I joined MANN+HUMMEL five years ago”, says Dominik Paschinger, Vice President Group Treasury & Risk Management. MANN+HUMMEL is a family-owned German filtration company which generated a turnover of €4.7bn across its 80 locations globally in 2023. According to Paschinger the current reporting structure based on excel sheets is not ideal: “The process is very manual, and we have access to a lot of data which we never use for reporting purposes.” Last year, his team then finally had the capacities to put a revamp of the reporting structure on the agenda. “We set down with entire treasury team to develop a target structure for the treasury function in 2030 which we called ‘Shaping a future-proof treasury',” he explains. And one key element of this vision was to define how the treasury reporting should look like. So how does this vision look like and how far has his team come since then? What kind of information will his team and MANN+HUMMEL’s top management be able to source from these newly built dashboards? And what role does artificial intelligence (AI) play?

    Growing a business in India - challenges and solutions for corporate treasurers

    India is predicted to become the third largest economy by size after the US and China before the end of this decade. Driven by a supportive regulatory environment, high investments in (digital) infrastructure and a vast talent pool, the Indian economy is set to double to US$7trn by 2030. One of the companies that aims to benefit from the country’s immense growth potential is Fuchs SE, an independent global supplier of lubrication solutions that has generated revenues of €3,.5bn in 2023. “We were able to double our growth in India over the last two to three years by identifying the right market segments here in India,” says Parag Dongare, Managing Director of Fuchs Lubricants India – a 100% subsidiary of the Germany-based Fuchs SE. Yet, growing the business in India comes with challenges from a treasury point of the view, adds Prathamesh Khedekar, the company’s Chief Financial Officer. “Managing the foreign exchange risks and ensuring compliance with cross-border trade regulations which are very time-demanding tasks.” How did Fuchs tackle these challenges? Tune into this new episode of the flow InCorporate Treasury podcast and learn more about the story of Fuchs Lubricants India.

    How cross-border cash concentration can be achieved in Brazil

    Over the last few years, Brazil has re-established its attractiveness to foreign investors. According to the World Investment Report 2023, FDI inflows into Brazil increased to US$86bn in 2022 compared to US$50.6bn one year earlier (+69.9%) which was the second-highest value ever recorded and the fifth worldwide. Yet, for companies doing business in Brazil there are several challenges when it comes to financing local operations. Jeremy Hamon, Head of Group Finance, CFO, Primetals Technologies Treasury explains, “Brazil is peculiar because of its cross-border currency regulation preventing cash concentration partially with stamp duty for offshore deposits and a high withholding tax on interest income when doing intercompany financing.” Moreover, adds Hamon, the Brazilian real is a non-transferrable currency which makes hedging for long-term maintenance contracts an “expensive challenge”. Primetals Technologies designs and builds plants for the metals industry and its Brazilian affiliate is a specialist in steel castors maintenance – which means it has long-term contracts with its customers. In the light of all these challenges, how has Primetals still managed to set up an automated intercompany cross-border loan for its Brazilian affiliate? This comes close to a cash pooling structure with an FX component and therefore fulfills the requirements from the central treasury organisation.

    How Tiket.com is revamping treasury processes

    Driven by a young and aspirational middle class, digital consumption and travel expenditures are booming in South-East Asia. A company that sits at the sweet spot of these two trends is Tiket.com, one of the fastest growing online travel agencies (OTA) in the world with more than 15 million app installations. Founded in 2011, the Indonesian new economy company now cooperates with 140 airlines and 2.6 million accommodation providers.   Yet, acting as an intermediary between different parties creates multiple challenges for the treasury function, explains Eddy Putra, Head of Treasury at Tiket.com. Given the nature of travel, where booking is usually done in advance and settlement to hotels is done only upon completion of travel, the company is exposed to FX risks. It also faces multiple recurring cross-border payments to overseas hotels which led to high fund transfer fees as well as manual processing.   How did the company address these challenges in a workflow automation project with Deutsche Bank? Tune into the new flow InCorporateTreasury podcast and learn more about this award-winning solution!

    How to enable digital business models via payments

    As more and more B2B companies are selling their products and services directly to the consumer, this changes the way in which payments are being made.

In this episode, Group Treasurer Britta Döttger and Head of Treasury Operations, Martin Schlageter, share insights into Roche’s digital payment strategy and how a new project with Deutsche Bank is helping them to stay ahead of the curve.
