How Accell Group Built an In-House Bank in Just Three Months

When Accell Group faced a product recall and mounting inventory pressure, treasury was forced into rapid action. This case study recounts how the company designed and implemented an in-house bank in just three months, under intense time pressure and with little margin for error. It offers insight into how treasury can act decisively in a crisis, using centralisation and structure not as theoretical ideals, but as practical tools to regain control, improve liquidity, and stabilise the business.

  • "Sweeping transactions are automatically generated based on end-of-day and intraday statements, along with data from our payment hub about pending supplier payments for that day"
