Treasury Transformation:Could robots soon rule the
world?
• François Masquelier, Chairman of ATEL
The question is not WHETHER our economies and functions will be affected
by digitization but WHEN and HOW

The KEY question on Digitization
Digitization, what A. Toffler would have called « The 4th wave »

“Let's get DIGITAL, digital … I want to get digital… Let's get into
digital… Let me hear your body talk, your body talk…”
Treasury Transformation... Evolution or Revolution?
At the end of the day all jobs are at risk with digitalization of the economy

Treasury Transformation
• On-going TRANSFORMATION of treasury
• Treasury function has entered a new era of its developments… Treasury V.4.0
• We can talk about DISRUPTIVE innovations…
• Many changes (e.g. e-payments, new financial reg’s, IT technology evolution, robotization of processes, algorithms, new IFRS standards, market volatility, cyber crimes and fraud, etc…)
We thought cars would fly in 2000…

Big Data Analytics
« Information is the oil of the 21st century and analytics is the combustion engine »(Peter Soundergaard)
• We need to find it, extract it, refine it distribute it and monetize it » (David Buckingham)

Financial data is the new OIL
The future is now…
• Technology innovation has always been intrinsic
to the changing role of treasury
• Instrumental in creating opportunities for
enhanced efficiency, control and capacity building
• Disruption or continuation? Revolution or evolution?
• New entrants, incumbents, new players, fin tech’s to deal with
• Automation means Standardization (e.g. KYC) preliminary steps
• Agility is a required quality
• e.g. virtual accounts and cash management, biometric authentication, P2P solutions, e-payments, etc…
