What Cash Pooling Is, and Why Groups Use It

Cash pooling is a treasury technique for managing a group’s day-to-day liquidity centrally rather than account-by-account. Instead of each subsidiary holding its own idle cash and separately borrowing to cover its own shortfalls, the group brings the balances of many separate bank accounts together, physically or notionally, so that surplus cash in one entity offsets the funding need of another. The group borrows less externally, earns more on its net surplus, and pays the bank fewer and narrower spreads.

Where Pricing Begins

This article covers the pricing of cash pool transactions: setting arm’s length deposit and borrowing rates, establishing the credit standing of participants, treating the cross-guarantees the bank requires, and identifying balances that have ceased to be short-term. It assumes the pool’s structure is already settled and the leader characterized. For those upstream choices, see the companion article Cash Pooling 101: Structures, the Pool Leader, and the Synergy Benefit on the Comp-Press resources page.
