NDB implemented an automated, SaaS treasury system supporting the complete life cycle of trades and processes

New Development Bank, the multilateral development bank established by the BRICS countries, implemented a new treasury management system using TCS BaNCS. The system was implemented as a fully automated, SaaS treasury management system supporting the complete life cycle of trades and processes, integrated risk analytics, limit management and a reporting engine. Enabling straight-through processing, the system integrates with external systems (such as Reuters, Bloomberg and SWIFT) to complete trade processes, and also offers online credit and market risk monitoring. The system manages all the market operations for the bank’s investment and liability portfolio.

This facilitated the bank to increase the asset classes covered by its treasury business by 100%, growing its portfolio by over 20% within 6 months.

The system enabled the bank to offer services across its universe of asset classes, including complex assets such as interest rate derivatives, money market instruments and collateral management. Overall, the total number of asset classes that the bank offered services in doubled after the launch of this system and resulted in over 20% growth in the portfolio size for the business.

The integrated system enabled the bank to launch services in complex assets with speed

The system facilitated the bank to launch complex assets with speed. It provides inbuilt risk analytics and limit management, risk management module and a reporting engine, facilitated by faster processing and decision making. There are automated alerts in case of breach of limits and the system also provides a transparent view of operations to all stakeholders. The system was delivered in an agile delivery model with the first phase launched in a short 12 weeks.
