11 What is the TSU? Operating in the collaborative space SWIFT messages Trade documentation SWIFTNet TSU Standards Messaging Matching & workflow Bank BANK SERVICES Risk mitigation Financing Data checking outsourcing Information Corporate Trade facilitators Bank Corporate Collaboration Competition Slide 11

12 What is the TSU? Key features Supports the exchange of information between banks bank to bank only Matches data elements extracted from trade documents (initially PO, Commercial Invoice & Shipping) Enables banks to generate new revenues: enhance existing services to importers & exporters develop new services in open account & supply chain Invoice data Purchase Order data Transport data Slide 12

13 What is the TSU? High level functionality At the highest level, the TSU will Establish an initial baseline by comparing purchase data submitted by the buyer s and seller s bank 1 Buyer s Bank Initial Baseline Submission TSU Seller s Bank Push Through Baseline Twin-baseline Submission Established baseline Established Baseline Compare purchase data with commercial and/or transport datasets and notify the proper bank (s) 2 Commercial data set Transport data set Match report Match report Deliver reports 3 Request report Deliver report Request report Deliver report Slide 13

14 What is the TSU? High-level functionality 1 Baseline Buyer s and Seller s Banks send PO to TSU TSU Sends Back Match or Mismatch 2 Dataset Seller s Bank submits TSU Invoice and Shipment Information TSU Compares to PO and Sends Back Match or Mismatch 3 Reports Transaction history Data mining across entire BIC or specific customer Slide 14

15 SWIFTNet Trade Services Utility Setting the scene What is the TSU? TSU Enabled Services Current Status Slide 15

16 TSU enabled services International trade settlement process Whether the international trade transaction is settled via open account or traditional trade, the same business process must take place: Each step might be called something different Or processed by someone else in the supply chain Slide 16

17 TSU-enabled services Processing and liquidity mgmt services The supply chain can be viewed in two dimensions: Horizontal: the desire for end to end processing efficiency Vertical: the desire for cost containment and liquidity management PROCESSING EFFICIENCY Inventory Finance Order Make Ship Invoice Receive Pay Sell Collect Pre-shipment finance Post-shipment finance Receivables Finance LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT Slide 17

18 TSU-enabled services Potential bank services Information Services Documents creation Document imaging Event tracking Data mining Market intelligence Netting Risk Management / Mitigation Reconciliation Collections Automated LC process Conditional payment Improved operational risk Credit insurance Performance insurance Insourcing Accounts payable/receivable Confirmed payment collection Correspondent bank services Working Capital Management Cash flow management Payment Financing PO/PO confirmation-based Without recourse finance Pre/post-shipment finance Receivables/payables financing Contingent payment obligations Rebate schemes Forfaiting Structured trade finance Asset securitisation Slide 18

20 TSU-enabled services Services Example: Cash Forecasting Data matching throughout the transaction lifecycle improves the quality of information and enables corporate treasurers to predict with greater accuracy their cash flow movements and liquidity requirements, reducing the cost of funding. Example: Landed Costs Management The ability to capture actual shipping, handling, and import fees and roll these into cost of goods sold enables the Buyer to extend stock control to goods in transit and build true cost into the pricing model. Example: Discrepancy Management Delays cost money. The automatic notification of significant events e.g. amendments, approvals, delays, shipment dates etc, potentially linked to the assignment of an action, creates an early warning system for discrepancy reporting and an audit trail when resolved. Others E.g. Contract Management (matching data to contract to support payment); Shipper Visibility (data aggregation services built around visibility). Slide 20

21 TSU-enabled services Risk Example: FX Hedging Monitoring of transaction data enables a central treasury function to anticipate receipts and payables in different currencies and act as a clearing house to hedge net exposure through multilateral netting. Alternatively, forward contracts can be used to hedge individual transaction exposures. Example: Authenticated Purchase Order The TSU can become a vehicle for a bank to authenticate to its correspondent the identity of its corporate customer and the content/accuracy of the purchase agreement. The bank may also authenticate that there is no apparent reason why payment should be refused provided performance occurs. Example: Compliance Matched data can be fed into the bank s compliance engine in order to satisfy regulatory requirements e.g. OFAC, Basel II. Each bank has the responsibility to complete its own compliance checks before submission to the TSU. Others E.g. LC Support (a preliminary data set match highlighting exceptions enables a bank to accelerate internal decision making processes; Collection Support (this may be a new service as documents under collection are not checked by the banks); Shipping Guarantee (enabling the Buyer to take control of goods without a bill of lading). Slide 21

22 TSU-enabled services Insourcing Example: Document Preparation Generation of shipping documents based on data received from corporate purchase order systems. Example: Data Matching Reconciliation of accounts payable/receivable. Example: Data Bureau Services If banks have visibility of purchase order and other supply chain data, they can begin to track and provide reports and analyses on supplier performance as a value-added service. This information may be relevant to buyer/seller relationships, price negotiations, dispute resolution, consolidation policy etc. Others E.g. Hosting (to support the processing requirements of other banks either on a white label or fully disclosed basis) Slide 22

23 TSU-enabled services Financing Example: Pre-Shipment Finance The matching of purchase order data creates opportunities for a Seller s Bank to make informed decisions regarding the provision of working capital facilities to selected suppliers. This may be linked to work in progress under a buyer support program or a vendor managed inventory. Example: Post-Shipment Finance The matching of commercial and/or transport data sets to the purchase order again creates opportunities for a Buyer s Bank to provide non-recourse finance or early payment to a supplier. These facilities may be linked to inventory in transit, proof of delivery (e.g. a forwarder s cargo receipt) or buyer approved invoices. Example: Factoring / Invoice discounting Provision of non-recourse finance to the supplier based on a percentage of the invoice value. These facilities may be extended once the commercial data has been matched by the TSU. Others E.g. Forfaiting (Supplier s Bank discounts without recourse bills of exchange drawn on the Buyer based on the guarantee of the Buyer s Bank); asset securitization (dependant upon the individual bank s credit policy, enhanced cash flow forecasting could enable the purchase of receivables at a low and quantifiable risk). Slide 23

28 TSU-enabled services SWIFT to Bank / SWIFT to Industry Bank New sources of revenue via enhanced or new products Allows banks to build product portfolio in stages, including in-sourcing Enables trigger points by monitoring of transactions Lowers cost of investment in a shared infrastructure Increases automation of data checking Reduces risks with dual party transaction authentication Matching baselines results in fewer discrepancies Facilitates end to end transparency of previously isolated functions Industry Helps move the industry towards standard approach to business Common (XML) standards facilitate STP and handling efficiencies Provides interoperability between banks Separates collaborative space and competitive space Bank neutral service provider; trusted delivery and resilience Respects existing corporate business practices Slide 28
