Settlement Liquidity Monitor
Forecasts and protects intraday liquidity across payment rails, accounts, currencies, and legal entities.
Streams obligations, queues, expected inflows, collateral, cutoffs, nostro positions, credit lines, and stress scenarios. It recommends funding, sequencing, or throttling actions and can enforce approved operational limits, while borrowing, collateral, and capital actions remain reserved.
