About this event
Corporate Payments are changing rapidly and technology needs to keep up. Yet choosing the right solution, one that can work with your wider treasury function, can be a challenging task
This Treasury Dragons online session looks under the hood of corporate payment systems from Embat, TIS, Bottomline and Cobase in a live Q&A with real corporate treasurers.
This is the latest in a series of online debates in which treasury technology firms present their solutions to our ‘Dragons’ – and to you.
In short, sharp presentations you will see the highlights of each treasury-enhancing system on offer – and then the solution providers will face some challenging questioning from our panel of treasury tough nuts.
It's the fastest way to get up to speed on what's really on offer.
