# **Real-time Intraday Liquidity Management and Control**

##### **Enterprise-wide visibility and governed settlement control to improve liquidity utilisation and reduce funding drag**

## **Stop Leaving Liquidity on the Table**

**To manage intraday liquidity effectively, firms need a consolidated view of balances, exposures, and payment obligations, as well as the ability to manage outflows intelligently. Without these tools, treasury teams operate reactively and often hold larger liquidity buffers than necessary.**

Baton unifies liquidity data and applies governed settlement controls, enabling treasury teams to anticipate funding pressures, control payment outflows and use liquidity more efficiently.

With these capabilities institutions can:

- **Reduce daily funding requirements**
- **Minimise peak net outflows** and liquidity buffers
- **Redeploy capital** into higher-yielding opportunities
- **Improve settlement predictability and resiliency**

## **How Baton Enables Active Intraday Liquidity Management**

Baton integrates liquidity monitoring, forecasting and programmable settlement controls into a single intraday liquidity management platform. Together, these capabilities allow treasury teams to anticipate funding pressures and actively manage settlement flows.

Capabilities can be deployed individually to address control gaps or together as a unified **intraday liquidity control layer**.

By linking live settlement data, forecasting and programmable payment controls, Baton creates a continuous liquidity control cycle. Each settlement event updates projections and automatically adjusts payment sequencing and prioritisation, so [liquidity usage remains consistently controlled across accounts](/content/solutions/fx-payments-and-nostro-account-management/index.html), currencies, and time zones as conditions evolve.

## **Balance Sheet Impact**

**Active intraday liquidity control enables institutions to use liquidity more efficiently and reduce peak intraday funding needs. With improved visibility, forecasting and settlement control, treasury teams can:**

##### Reduce peak intraday liquidity usage and reliance on credit lines

##### Lower liquidity buffers held to manage uncertainty

##### Redeploy surplus liquidity into revenue-generating activities

##### Improve predictability of funding requirements across the trading day

Intraday liquidity transformation does not need to be a multi-year programme.

Baton’s intraday liquidity management software operates as a modular overlay platform that integrates with existing systems. Deployed as a managed SaaS solution with cloud-native architecture, institutions can deploy targeted capabilities quickly, to strengthen intraday liquidity control in defined areas and extend coverage over time.

**No core system replacement.**

**No operating model redesign.**

**No large-scale transformation required.**

**Explore how institutions can implement intraday liquidity control through modular deployments and reduced time-to-value**

## **Regulatory Alignment for Intraday Liquidity Risk Management**

Baton supports evolving supervisory expectations for intraday liquidity oversight and control, this includes alignment with key liquidity guidance including:

- **BCBS 248 Monitoring Tools for Intraday Liquidity Management**
- **ECB 2024 Sound Practices for Managing Intraday Liquidity Risk**

Baton’s intraday liquidity management software enables institutions to operationalise these expectations, along with those emerging in other jurisdictions, through real-time liquidity oversight, forward-looking projections and governed settlement controls.
