CASH POOLING

Partnering with Dresdner Kleinwort allows clients to discover leading-edge techniques to optimise their cash balances and interest-rate income – even when cash is held in multiple countries and with different banks. To optimise net income payments and to make effective use of all liquidity positions, Dresdner Kleinwort offers two core techniques:

• Dresdner Cash Concentrating –
  cash concentration with physical transfer of balances
• Dresdner Margin Compensation – interest rate optimisation

By working closely with their clients and the depending treasury teams, Dresdner Kleinwort can apply these two strategies to deliver cash pooling solutions that integrate seamlessly into their clients’ day-to-day cash management activities.

Dresdner Cash Concentrating may also be available with third-party banks.
