6. The Problem
Bank A
Bank B
Payment patterns: banks often need to make large early outgoing payments.
Banks and organisations with surplus intraday funds can earn a return on cash held.

There is no effective interbank market
to match lenders with banks that want
to borrow for hours at a time.
Intraday liquidity costs banks billions in profits every year

Methodology validated with banks
Independent validation
Problem validation: Oliver Wyman (2018):
$100-300m annual cost of intraday liquidity
($25-75m potential annual savings)
Solution: Boston Consulting Group (2019):
43% of treasurers expect new intraday liquidity
markets in <2 years

9. Business Model

Rationale
‘All-to-all’ platforms often
struggle. We need banks for
settlement and for market
liquidity.
We will help banks to reduce
cost, and to solve problems
for their clients, without
disintermediating or
disrupting them.
We want to have banks as our customers (only banks)
