Treasury Dragons invites you to their event
About this event
Corporate payments are at the centre of treasury operations, and the pressure on them has never been greater. Payment volumes are rising, payment types are multiplying, and expectations around speed, control, and visibility continue to increase. At the same time, treasury is expected to reduce cost, minimise risk, and support the business without friction. When payment processes are slow, manual, or fragmented, the impact is felt across the organisation.
Many treasury teams are still managing payments across multiple bank portals, formats, and approval tools. This creates operational inefficiency, limits visibility, and increases the risk of error and fraud. Meanwhile, new payment platforms promise centralisation, automation, stronger controls, and better insight, but with very different models and capabilities.
This Treasury Dragons session puts corporate payments solutions head-to-head. Four platforms. Seven minutes each. One treasury audience. No long demos, no sales decks, just sharp, focused pitches explaining how they simplify payments, strengthen control, and scale globally.
For attendees, this is a quick, practical way to compare payment approaches side by side, from payment hubs and TMS-led models to bank-agnostic and API-driven platforms, and understand where each delivers value.
In under an hour, you’ll gain a clearer view of the corporate payments landscape and which solutions are worth exploring further.
