ATLAS for Corporate Treasurers

Real-time control of global liquidity

Corporate treasury has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Treasury teams are no longer responsible simply for moving money between bank accounts. They are expected to optimise liquidity, minimise funding costs, manage foreign exchange exposure, ensure regulatory compliance, reduce operational risk and provide real-time visibility into global cash positions.

Talk to us about ATLAS

Yet the infrastructure supporting international payments remains largely unchanged. Cross-border payments still depend on multiple correspondent banks, foreign exchange providers and reconciliation processes, creating delays, trapped liquidity and operational complexity.

ATLAS enables treasury to move beyond simply executing payments. It transforms payments into a strategic liquidity management tool by combining regulated banking infrastructure, stablecoin settlement and intelligent payment orchestration within a single platform. Rather than replacing existing banking relationships, ATLAS connects them into one integrated settlement architecture, allowing treasury to optimise how every payment is executed.

The treasurer’s challenges today

For a corporate treasurer, one of the greatest challenges is trapped liquidity. Funds frequently remain tied up while international payments move through correspondent banking networks, waiting for cut-off times, foreign exchange processing and intermediary approvals. During this period, cash is unavailable for investment, debt reduction or operational needs.

1–3 days to settle

Payments take time due to intermediaries and banking cut-offs.

Trapped liquidity

Funds tied up in transit and prefunding requirements across currencies.

Higher costs

FX spreads, multiple fees and operational overhead reduce margins.

Operational complexity

Multiple banks, systems and manual reconciliation.

Limited visibility

Hard to see where payments are and when they will settle.

Banking hours

Payments stop at cut-offs, on weekends and holidays.

Compliance & risk

High standards require strong controls, approvals and auditability.

How ATLAS works

One orchestrated flow. Many rails. The best outcome.

01

Source

Customer bank account (EUR, USD, etc.)

02

Fiat on-ramp

Regulated banking partner handles compliance, KYB and controls

03

Regulated conversion

Fiat converted into stablecoins where appropriate

04

ATLAS settlement

Instant stablecoin settlement, 24/7 across global networks

05

Regulated conversion

Local currency conversion by a regulated partner

06

Fiat off-ramp

Delivery through the appropriate local banking rail

07

Beneficiary

Recipient bank account in local currency

ATLAS significantly reduces settlement time by using stablecoins as the settlement instrument between regulated fiat on- and off-ramps, allowing value to move continuously rather than according to banking hours. Liquidity becomes available sooner, improving overall cash utilisation and reducing the need for prefunded balances.

Key benefits for treasury

01

Greater visibility

Traditional cross-border payments often require treasury teams to monitor multiple banking portals, reconcile transactions manually and wait for payment confirmations from different institutions. ATLAS consolidates payment execution, wallet management, settlement, compliance and reporting into a single operational view. Treasurers gain real-time insight into balances, transaction status, counterparties and settlement progress, making it easier to manage daily liquidity positions and produce accurate cash forecasts.

02

Payment orchestration

Today’s treasury departments increasingly have access to multiple payment rails, including SWIFT, SEPA Instant, domestic payment systems, card networks and stablecoin settlement. The challenge is no longer obtaining access to these networks—it is determining which one should be used for each transaction. ATLAS acts as an orchestration layer that evaluates available routes based on currency, destination, liquidity, compliance requirements, settlement speed and cost before automatically selecting the optimal path.

03

Operational resilience

Businesses increasingly operate across multiple time zones and cannot always wait for banking hours before releasing urgent supplier payments or moving liquidity between entities. ATLAS supports settlement twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, allowing treasury to respond immediately to changing business requirements while maintaining full governance and control.

04

Governance at the centre

Treasury requires much more than fast settlement. It needs segregation of duties, approval workflows, transaction limits, audit trails, sanctions screening, KYB controls, role-based permissions and complete reporting. ATLAS integrates these controls directly into the payment lifecycle, enabling enterprise-grade treasury operations while benefiting from modern settlement infrastructure.

Example use case

Consider a multinational company managing suppliers across Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Today

  • Treasury initiates payments through several banking relationships
  • Manages multiple foreign exchange providers
  • Waits one to three business days before funds become available
  • Cash forecasts remain uncertain while payments are in transit, and reconciliation consumes significant operational effort

With ATLAS

  • Treasury initiates a single payment instruction
  • The platform selects the optimal payment route
  • Converts fiat into stablecoins where appropriate and settles almost instantly
  • Converts funds into the destination currency and delivers them into the beneficiary’s local bank account

Treasury monitors the entire process through one platform with real-time visibility and complete auditability.

The strategic value

For a corporate treasurer, the value of ATLAS is therefore not simply faster payments. It is the ability to manage global liquidity more efficiently, optimise working capital, reduce operational complexity, improve cash forecasting and maintain full control over cross-border payment operations.

Bank money

Existing banking relationships, connected rather than replaced.

ATLAS

The orchestration layer that selects the optimal route.

Stablecoins

The settlement instrument between regulated on- and off-ramps.

By orchestrating banking rails, stablecoins, liquidity providers and compliance into one integrated settlement platform, ATLAS enables treasury to focus less on moving money and more on optimising how the company’s capital is deployed.
