(1-2 of 2)[In my opinion, the] luster gets lost when you use it.
- Reporting automates bank balance view(s) by sending daily email recipients.
- [It] includes the GL account coding on the funding templates to automate the posting of JEs for that transaction.
- [It] synergizes bank transactions via a single portal rather than multiple logins for multiple bank platforms.
- [In my opinion,] the main page is not helpful - [it] uses a lot of real estate for not much info and will let you reset the default opening screen to something different or rearrange the view of [the] screen.
- [In my experience,] on the main page, [you] cannot alter [the] view of bank balances. [It] combines all the balances across all accounts into a lump sum number which is not very helpful [in my opinion].
- [In my experience,] email notifications to approvers only happen once at the time of the transaction creation regardless [of whether] the transaction is a future dated wire. Notification should have a reminder closer to the date that the transaction is due [in my opinion].
- [In my experience,] approver notification for transactions in the [queue] only defaults to TODAY, so future-dated wires get missed. To see future-dated wires, [I believe] the approver must go in and alter the date range for the view EVERY TIME. [I feel like] there should be the ability to set a default date range by [the] user.
- [There is] no mobile app. [In my opinion,] this is NEEDED for approvers on the go.
- [In my experience, I feel it] reduced data entry from 3x (wire write up, enter in bank platform, create JE) to 1x ([GTreasury] template is selected as the wire "write up" which is in the [GTreasury] platform and includes the GL account coding for automatic posting to the Accounting software).
- [In my opinion, it] reduced data entry risk by utilizing templates that "locked" down wire instructions.
- [I feel that] user adoption is slow due to [the] complexity of usage and navigation of [GTreasury] compared to bank portals/platforms.
- [I believe that the] lack of link in the email (that takes the user straight to [GTreasury]) for approvers derailed user adoption by [the] executives.
- [I feel that the] lack of [a] robust mobile app has deterred adoption by users who travel.
- [It] streamlines [the] accounting coding process.
- [It] increases controls by using templates.
- [It] decreases touchpoints of [the] same data entry.
- We brought in our Investment Account balances to our reporting view to better manage our liquidity profile.
- [I would like it if] the mobile app [could] get up and running.
- [I feel we would be] interested in Budgeting and Forecasting, but, [in my opinion,] the pain point for [GTreasury] implementation is too high.
- Price

- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Implemented in-house
- [In my opinion, it has] high, high, high turnover on [GTreasury's] side.
- [In my opinion, GTreasury's] project manager was rude and inconsiderate of client needs.
- [I feel that GTreasury] does not seem to value client needs, especially when they require extra effort/set up beyond the cookie-cutter options native to [GTreasury].
- Single sign-on capability [is an easy feature].
- [I believe that] set up and administration (TA rules, trees, etc.) [is difficult].
- [In my opinion,] reporting is difficult, in particular, the worksheets are hard to understand especially for normal bank portal users.
- [I believe that] security [is difficult].
- [I feel that] approval workflow [is difficult].
- [In my opinion,] approval rules ($, type of transaction matrix) are hard to set up [properly].
- [I feel that] no mobile app [makes it difficult].
GTreasury: a Great Solution and Business Partner
The GTreasury Workstation is used by the Treasury team for our daily cash concentration process, administer our debt portfolio, ST money market transactions, FHLB Borrowing, bank account administration central repository, bank account analysis, payment hub, origination of funds transfers, wires US & international, ACH origination, State ACH Tax Payments with addendum, and settlement of inter company payables and receivables for the organization. The 822 Account Analysis feed is utilized to monitor bank service fees actual to contracted prices, and various statistical reports regarding bank balance exposure, risk assessment, and monitoring any overdrawn accounts.
We use the GTreasury Workstation to receive previous and same day BAI information (including Money Market Fund Balances and custodial/trust account information, wire reference numbers, ACH return files, ACH Prenotes, ACH NOCs, This data is used by Treasury and the extended corporation. Extended corporation includes accounting, business areas, accounts payable, billing & collection, Investment Advisors, and our Puerto Rico office. Extended users are reviewing for incoming transaction activity, and some originate electronic fund transfers.
This system allows for self service on payment inquires for the product areas looking to see if funds have been received from our various customers for specific products, or confirm ACH and wire transactions have been released and for wires the Federal Reserve Reference Number and date/time it was sent.
Billing & Collection, Customer Service Teams utilize GTreasury to research ACH payments both collection and disbursement. They also utilize the GTreasury for monitoring ACH Returns, and NOC's which are associated to the original transaction.
The Controller Team utilizes the system to receive BAI information for bank account reconciliation, and researching differences between the bank statement and the ledger.
We also utilize the GTreasury accounting feature to send daily accounting entries for various payment transactions originated and also transaction assignment that automatically generates accounting for automated bank sweeps and incoming debit or credit transactions automatically.
This system has allowed us to optimize our daily cash and investment levels to optimize the return on short term cash, and provide cash forecasts for the Investment Advisors tracking incoming cash from operations, principal & interest, pending trades to know the available cash for investing.
The system has also assisted in better management of the Bank Account Analysis to identify costs, and services and contract price variances. This and the ACH reversal functionality has allowed us to identify and reduce various bank service costs, saving the organization bank service charges each year.
This system also solved the issue of tracking the USA and International bank accounts, and signers, simplifying when signers change, and completion of the FBar reporting requirements, reducing the time spent on this task by over 70%.

- The adhoc reporting can always be improved.
- Very positive ROI allowing us to take our daily cash target down to 1% of total admitted Assts. Prior to GTreasury we were running close to 20%.
- Reduced bank service cost initially by $300,000+ and annually a minimum of $50,000.
- Allowed us to maintain and streamline Treasury Staff FTE level, with the ability to train other areas for self service payment research, so the Treasury Analyst can focus on value added analysis tasks.
