Cash Management System for Central Banks

Top level of cash management in every county is associated with work optimization of national banks who operate as regulatory body and sometimes as market constituent.

Due to the specifics of legislation and regulation, the structure of the organization and the process of managing cash circulation can differ significantly.

1. Centralized model

National Bank is a crucial part of the national cash distribution cycle. It operates through its branch network as a main storage, processing, and distribution center. The Central Bank is present and controls the entire cash circulation cycle. This model is mainly used in developing countries.

2. Joint venture model

A joint venture is created between the national bank and commercial bank. Both sides also act as shareholders. This joint venture deals with all aspects of trade and logistics of the national currency, thus optimizing operating costs. This model is often the main direction for the further development of cash circulation in developing countries. 

3. Partial delegation model

The National Bank delegates certain cash handling operations to affiliated contractors. Authentication, sorting, as well as the distribution of cash for the commercial sector (commercial banks, merchants, and collection services). Currently, a significant number of countries in the world use this model for partial outsourcing of their activities.

4. Full delegation model

Commercial banks and independent CIT companies take responsibility (and cost) for all transactions. The National Bank is not present in the money supply cycle, except for the processes associated with the issue and control of the disposal of banknotes and coins. The countries of the Eurozone, as well as the United Kingdom, Norway, and the United States, operate approximately in this model.

Activities of National Central Banks in cash circulation

To organize and control an effective cash circulation in the country, the central bank needs to control and set optimal operating rules for all cash circulation cycles. Cash Management software allows companies to optimize the logistics and supply chain, working capital, surplus cash, which leads to a decrease in the financial costs of national banks and commercial banks.

During the first two months of using CashPoint Monitoring.iQ, we were able to reach 25% of savings on rent of the cash. Besides, the solution allowed us to save internal resources (first of all, staff). In order to monitor and analyze cash supply chain using the Cash Management.iQ solution, one cash professional needs to work only for two hours a day.

The bank receives information about cash balances at ATMs from the processing center. The frequency of data transmission can vary, but this information is not enough for the optimal cash distribution to ATMs and CIT planning. For these purposes, TBC Bank uses Cash Management.iQ solution.

Cash Management.iQ software solution provides us the information on cash balances in ATM’s in real time, which allows us to more accurately plan the time of cash collection and  cash optimal amount by ATM’s, as well as to reduce logistics costs.
