IPPF is a global federation and movement of 100+ locally led Member Associations in 150+ countries, dedicated to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice.

Challenge

Accessible cash meant accepting weaker returns.

Whenever IPPF held surplus cash, its only practical option was fixed bank deposits, offering predetermined rates with limited flexibility, and early withdrawal that was operationally difficult, often punitive, and required negotiation with relationship banks.

This created compounding problems: concentration risk from placing excess liquidity with a small number of banks, forecasting risk from committing cash to fixed tenors against uncertain cashflows, liquidity risk from funds locked away when unexpected needs arose, and a persistent opportunity cost from cash earning suboptimal returns simply to stay accessible.

Meanwhile, the centrally cleared repo market, one of Europe's deepest, most liquid wholesale funding markets, remained out of reach, since participation required legal, operational, and technological infrastructure that didn't make sense for a non-bank institution to build.

Solution

Next-day access to centrally cleared repo, no new onboarding required.

One+ gave IPPF next-day access to centrally cleared repo through TreasurySpring's existing platform, with no additional onboarding or documentation.

Backed by ECB-eligible High Quality Liquid Assets and settled through GC Pooling (operated by Eurex Clearing and Clearstream), One+ delivered wholesale-level security and transparency through a single, intuitive portal, with all legal and operational complexity absorbed behind the platform.

Outcome

100% of cash invested, with no added risk.

IPPF's weekly Tuesday payment run used to mean withdrawing its full invested balance on Tuesday morning and reinvesting on Wednesday, losing a day of interest every week, or roughly 52 days a year, despite only needing a portion of that cash for payments.

With One+, IPPF now invests 100% of its available cash, withdraws only what Tuesday's payments require, and keeps the remainder invested and earning, closing a recurring structural inefficiency and materially increasing annual returns without increasing risk. IPPF can also select the highest available rates across approved issuers within its treasury policy, diversify across sectors and counterparties, invest across multiple durations, and track everything through real-time reporting.

With TreasurySpring we can now invest our full cash balance, withdraw only what we need on payment day, and keep the rest working for us, all with next-day liquidity and none of the operational complexity we'd expect from a wholesale market solution. Better returns, better diversification, and better visibility, without adding any burden to our treasury team."
