Modern treasury management is undergoing a profound digital transformation. Global Finance reveals the 2026 Global Winners in the Best Treasury and Cash Management Provider awards.
Best Bank for Transaction Banking
Best Bank for Collections
BANK OF AMERICA
Bank of America delivers treasury and cash management services primarily through its CashPro platform, emphasizing digital integration. CashPro Forecasting, for instance, helps clients boost operational efficiency and manage volatility. “Better forecasting does not simply save time; it helps finance teams treat liquidity as a more strategic, actively managed resource,” says Mark Monaco, head of Global Payments Solutions (GPS).
The bank’s digital adoption is significant. Nearly 70% of corporate clients leverage tools like CashPro Chat for transaction tracking and service resolution while CashPro Search efficiently handles data retrieval. Furthermore, CashPro’s newly announced cross-border, real-time payments capability facilitates high-volume, low-value flows with features like real-time tracking, full-principal delivery, and local-currency settlement. “The goal is not to just accelerate payments or automate workflows, but to do so in a way that strengthens the broader payables ecosystem,” adds Monaco. Beyond payments, Bank of America provides comprehensive visibility into global liquidity, allowing treasurers to utilize dashboards in monitoring yields, credit concentrations, and ESG compliance. Additionally, the bank supports its GPS team through the AskGPS initiative, an in-house generative AI assistant.

BNY
BNY operates an extensive ecosystem encompassing payments, liquidity management, and trade finance, anchored by a global network of more than 2,000 transaction-banking partners. The bank’s framework is built upon three strategic pillars: foundational account solutions for essential operations; cash optimization, which utilizes automated pooling and sweeps; and virtual account-based solutions, which leverage virtual reference numbers to improve reconciliation.
For its institutional clientele, BNY is advancing cross-border efficiency through tokenized deposits—on-chain representations of demand-deposit balances hosted on a private blockchain. “As stablecoins and tokenized money market funds continue to evolve, they have the potential to make crossborder liquidity management more real-time, programmable, and efficient,” says Julie Gerdeman, executive platform owner, Global Payments and Trade.
Over time, these capabilities may reduce some of the frictions traditionally associated with cross-border treasury management, particularly around cutoff times, intermediated flows, and trapped liquidity, she adds. “That said, broader adoption will continue to depend on the development of regulatory frameworks, interoperability standards, and risk management practices that support institutional scale and confidence.”

Best Bank for Payments
CITI SERVICES
Citi’s Liquidity Management services hold the top position for both market access and market share, with extensive and longterm client relationships across liquidity, payments, and trade. Citi’s proprietary liquidity network provides cash concentration and pooling services across approximately 90 markets and cross-border in around 60. In total, over $2 trillion and over 20,000 client structures flow monthly through this network. Cross-currency sweeps are now offered in 32 markets. Realtime liquidity management is available both on demand and through automated solutions across 38 markets, supporting a wide range of treasury use cases.
In September 2025, Citi launched its integrated 24/7 U.S. dollar clearing solution with the Citi Token Services platform. This integration facilitates instantaneous, multibank cross-border payments for institutional clients in the U.S. and U.K., 24/7. Citi plans to roll it out across its network.
“Citi Token Services has moved well beyond real-time movement; it delivers programmable, always-on, data-driven liquidity orchestration, directly aligned with how leading treasury teams are rethinking global cash management,” states Ambrish Bansal, global head of Liquidity and Cash Management Product, Services, Citi. “Citi’s model is built on a simple principle: Centralize liquidity control, decentralize execution. Funds are no longer trapped operationally due to cutoffs. Instead, they are dynamically deployed across entities—instantly, on demand, 24/7.”
As a result, Bansal says, treasury teams can eliminate structural pre-positioning in foreign jurisdictions—capital that was previously idle, costly, and operationally rigid. Subsidiaries are funded precisely when needed, governed by centrally defined rules. “The net shift is that intraday liquidity is no longer just faster but becomes centrally governed, intelligently distributed, and continuously optimized,” he says.
For Fortune 500 treasury teams, these advancements translate into tangible outcomes that redefine operational efficiency. Tighter controls are established as rule-based automation enforces policy at the point of execution rather than after the fact, while real-time visibility and instant mobility allow for fewer structural buffers by replacing precautionary pre-positioning.
Best Corporate Cross-Border Payments Solutions
FIDES TREASURY SERVICES
According to Philip Anklin, Fides’ chief growth officer, geopolitical and economic volatility has transformed bank diversification from a growth strategy into a vital component of operational resilience. Anklin notes a rising demand for multibank connectivity that offers a unified experience across multiple partners: “Treasurers want the flexibility to route payments through different banks based on geography, currency, pricing, liquidity position, risk considerations, or service availability, without their teams needing to log into multiple systems and reconcile manually using spreadsheets.”
Fides offers centralized infrastructure connected to over 13,000 banks globally. By providing cost-effective connectivity channels, Fides ensures automated, compliant processes even as banks or internal systems change. Anklin advocates for centralized payment “control towers”—either standalone platforms or integrated systems—to provide a consolidated view of cash positions. “Ultimately it’s all about the data,” Anklin argues. “Data that is centralized and standardized helps organizations monitor exposures more effectively, respond faster to disruptions, and gain a clearer understanding of global cash positions in real time. That’s one of the core values that a treasury aggregator provides: bringing together and normalizing data so it can be put to best use.”
Best White-Label System Provider – Bank
J.P. MORGAN
J.P. Morgan white-labels its clearing, ledger, and multicurrency account infrastructure under its embedded finance and commerce division. Corporates can use J.P. Morgan’s Virtual Account Management platforms via application programming interfaces (APIs) to issue virtual wallets, collect payments, and provide branded financing loops directly to their own ecosystem of corporate suppliers or marketplace sellers across more than 120 currencies. Instead of forcing a company’s ecosystem to open regular J.P. Morgan bank accounts, the bank blocks out its internal tech stack, allowing the corporate client to build the front-end app while the bank runs the plumbing behind the scenes. This way, nonfinancial corporations can act like banks for their own networks, deepening user retention and unlocking entirely new revenue streams without the burden of becoming regulated financial institutions.
Best White-Label System Provider – Non-Bank
KYRIBA
Kyriba licenses its advanced tech modules as a white-label overlay for major transaction banks. Through these integrated workflows, a bank can provide its corporate clients with institutional-grade functionality for cash and liquidity planning, risk-management hedging, and automated cross-border pooling workflows directly out of the box. Treasurers gain the power of a standalone, multimillion-dollar treasury management system embedded directly within their standard transaction-banking subscription, effectively democratizing access to high-end financial-control tools.
