We are often asked what is Treasury Solutions and what do you do? Treasury Solutions at GBC is a dedicated team designed to help and support our business clients by building tools and solutions that allow our clients to plan, manage, organize, and protect their business. We recognize that our clients face many challenges today including protecting themselves from cybercrime, maintaining their cash flow not to mention managing their businesses. The GBC Treasury Solutions team is here to help. We recognize that Treasury solutions can be complex, but it doesn't have to be. GBC Treasury solutions are designed to reduce and eliminate these pain points.
Traditional banking through the years has developed a model for treasury solutions that is often described as Payables, Receivables, and Information Management. At GBC we decided to take a client centric view, how do our clients view their business requirements/needs? We developed four business focuses that illustrate this approach in the graphic below.
At GBC we define these four business focuses in the following manner:
