"With minimal effort, we've created material value from our surplus cash whilst reducing associated risk – freeing the finance team to focus on other priorities."
Fees come in three times a year. Grants and government funding land on their own schedule. In between, large balances sit idle.
Opening another bank account means weeks of KYC for a finance team that doesn't have weeks to spare. So the cash stays where it is.
Without the time, the relationships, or the scale to shop around, yield stays on the table term after term.
VAT changes, market volatility, and headline bank failures mean board's now want to see evidence that surplus cash is genuinely safe.
UK Treasury Bills. The repo market. The safest homes for your cash are often gated behind infrastructure and connectivity that you don't have.
