With the current environment constraining liquidity and with regulation increasing the demands on capital requirements, clients need solutions that enable them to optimise their resources

Infrastructure initiatives such as the Target-2 Securities (T2S) securities settlement platform allows participants to centralise the related cash settlement of their clients’ obligations.

In T2S it will be possible to use a dedicated cash account (DCA), with one central bank of choice, providing a single pool of liquidity for cash and collateral across all T2S markets. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to manage a central bank account in each market.

As a market leader in EUR Liquidity, we work closely with our clients to provide innovative and flexible solutions that bring the advantages of a central bank structure into the commercial banking environment.

The challenge

The right liquidity strategy depends on two factors:

  1. Do you have the option of using your own central bank money?
  2. Is the use of commercial bank money a better solution to match your needs?

Having the right cash account structures will be crucial to unlocking the Liquidity that is appropriate for your specific business needs.

At Deutsche Bank we can support both client cash account models in central bank and commercial bank monies.

The solution

The benefits of funding multiple T2S settlement locations, from a single cash account, provide liquidity opportunities in the local market, in real time. Our flexible account solution can support your treasury function through access to both central and commercial bank monies.
