Frequently asked questions

For Corporate Treasurers

How quickly can TreasuryAgent be installed?

Most TreasuryAgent installations can be completed in minutes, not days or weeks. Installation and configuration are user-driven through simple wizards, allowing treasury personnel to automate banking activities without complex integration projects or specialized technical expertise.

Do I need assistance from IT?

Usually not.

TreasuryAgent is designed for treasury professionals, not programmers. Most routine configuration—including scheduling tasks, selecting reports, monitoring folders, and configuring automated banking activities—can be performed without programming or extensive IT involvement.

Does TreasuryAgent work with more than one bank?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent was designed as a multi-bank solution. It can automate banking activities across multiple financial institutions while maintaining independent configurations for each bank.

Does TreasuryAgent work with Treasury Workstations and ERP systems?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent integrates with Treasury Workstations, reconciliation systems, ERP applications, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, cash forecasting, risk management systems, and other financial applications. It can exchange information using files, APIs, command-line execution, monitored folders, scheduled tasks, and direct database access.

What banking activities can TreasuryAgent automate?

TreasuryAgent can automate virtually any function available through your bank's online cash management website, including:

Can TreasuryAgent monitor my bank for important events?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent can periodically monitor your bank for events such as inbound wires, Positive Pay exceptions, returned payments, account activity, broadcast messages, or other banking events. When specified conditions occur, TreasuryAgent can immediately notify users by email or trigger additional automated processing.

Can TreasuryAgent automatically convert file formats?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent converts outbound files into each bank's required format and transforms inbound banking information into the format expected by your financial applications, eliminating manual file manipulation and custom programming.

How fast is TreasuryAgent?

TreasuryAgent communicates directly with the underlying technology of your bank's online cash management website rather than navigating rendered web pages.

As a result, banking activities are completed very quickly. In many environments, BAI account reporting files have been securely retrieved, delivered, and made available to financial applications in as little as seven seconds.

Is TreasuryAgent just screen scraping?

No.

TreasuryAgent communicates with the underlying application technology of your bank's online cash management website rather than simply reading what appears on the screen. This approach provides fast, reliable automation while remaining largely unaffected by cosmetic website changes.

What happens if my bank changes its website?

Most website updates involve cosmetic changes such as branding, colors, graphics, or page layout, but rarely the underlying architecture.

TreasuryAgent communicates with the underlying application technology rather than the visual presentation, so most website updates require no changes. When significant application changes do occur, TreasuryAgent's automatic update feature can quickly distribute updated bank configurations.

Does TreasuryAgent work with my bank's security?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent is designed to work with the security technologies implemented by financial institutions, including HTTPS, digital certificates, software and USB tokens, encryption, password changes, and other authentication methods.

Can TreasuryAgent work with our existing file transfer solution?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent can communicate with traditional file transfer platforms as well as your bank's online cash management website.

However, TreasuryAgent provides much more than file transport. It adds unattended operation, scheduling, event monitoring, notifications, file transformation, and direct integration with your financial applications.

Most importantly:

A file transfer portal tells you your file arrived. TreasuryAgent can automate the same real-time interactions available through your bank's online cash management website, allowing your financial systems to know what happened after the file arrived.

What happens if my bank requires password changes?

TreasuryAgent can automatically update stored credentials after a successful password change, allowing scheduled tasks to continue operating without requiring manual reconfiguration.

Can TreasuryAgent perform multiple tasks at the same time?

Yes.

TreasuryAgent supports concurrent execution of multiple banking tasks, allowing reports, uploads, downloads, monitoring, and other activities to run simultaneously.

Why TreasuryAgent?

Every major financial institution already provides a powerful online cash management website.

TreasuryAgent allows your financial systems to use it automatically.

Instead of manually logging into your bank every day to upload payment files, download reports, retrieve confirmations, monitor exceptions, and transfer information between systems, TreasuryAgent performs those activities securely and unattended—allowing your treasury staff to focus on managing cash rather than managing bank connections.
