In this second talk, “Choosing the Correct Liquidity Structure for Your In-House Bank,” our panel of experts is set to illuminate various facets of liquidity structures, equipping you with the knowledge required to make well-informed decisions for your organization’s in-house banking needs.

The recognition of the value of establishing in-house banks is growing within the corporate landscape. These internal banking entities offer a centralized approach to managing cash and liquidity, streamlining financial operations, and enhancing control over treasury functions. However, one of the pivotal decisions organizations encounter when setting up an in-house bank is the selection of the right liquidity structure that can effectively support their unique objectives and requirements. Choosing the most suitable liquidity structure for your in-house bank is multifaceted, demanding a profound understanding of treasury operations, regulatory compliance, and financial technology.

Justin Callaghan, CEO at FTI Treasury, Shane O’Keeffe: Head of Innovation at FTI Treasury, and Eileen Murray: Front Office Senior Manager at FTI Treasury, will cover the following topics:

  1. Discovering the various liquidity structures commonly used in in-house banking and understanding their applicability.
  2. Exploring the pros and cons of each liquidity structure from a front-office perspective. We will help you uncover which one aligns best with your organization’s goals and requirements.
  3. Delving into the critical considerations when selecting a liquidity structure, including EB to TMS integration, cash flow forecasting, cash reporting, and more.

Key Topics covered

Eileen explores the structures most widely used across in-house banks, weighing their strengths and drawbacks from a front-office point of view.

A practical look at the trade-offs behind each option, helping you match the right structure to your organisation's specific requirements.

Shane examines how electronic banking connects to your treasury management system, and why that link is central to reliable cash visibility.

Key considerations for building accurate forecasts and clear cash reporting, giving treasury teams a sharper view of group-wide liquidity.

Why this matters

The liquidity structure you choose shapes how efficiently your in-house bank moves, pools, and reports cash across the group. Get it right and you gain tighter control, clearer visibility, and lower funding costs. Get it wrong and you risk trapped cash, weaker forecasting, and unnecessary bank charges. This talk gives treasury teams a practical framework for weighing the options against their own operational needs, so the structure supports the wider financial strategy rather than working against it.
