Accelerating High-Value Payments: Best Practices for Treasury-Initiated Transactions

High-value payments are fundamental to an organization’s financial operations, especially when managing large, time-sensitive transactions that can directly affect liquidity, cash flow, and overall business continuity. These payments usually involve significant sums of money and are often tied to critical business functions such as mergers and acquisitions, large-scale supplier or vendor settlements, international transactions, tax settlements, and legal obligations. Due to the importance and the size of these payments, they demand careful execution. Even the smallest delay or error can have far-reaching effects, disrupting not just the payment in question but also the broader financial stability of the organization.
