The Mission

The Cash & Liquidity systems (Group Treasury) deal with multi-year (5+ years) projects to upgrade the new and legacy systems which would provide new ways to benefit from market shifts. The projects have multiple phases where we would be streamlining internal applications/flows and would be enhancing components/services to standardize flows towards the strategic cash and liquidity solution. We started a new project Controlled Liquidity Intraday Queue (CLIQ). CLIQ is a central intraday queueing and release mechanism that controls the outflow of payments based on available liquidity, priority rules and predefined release times. CLIQ is a full end to end solution, delivering both the UI and all the services required to test, deploy and run the application in a controlled way.
