One of the major determining factors of the success of a business is the ability to manage short-, medium- and long-term cashflows associated with its working capital cycles. The good news is that medium to large companies are now able to manage their liquidity more effectively and efficiently with Nedbank Business Banking. When managing cashflows, it is critical that companies optimise the interest impact of their liquidity by either reducing the interest paid when borrowing funds or increasing interest earned when depositing surplus funds. We offer you a complete investment solution for the appropriate management of your surplus funds in accordance with your working-capital and liquidity requirements. We would like to make it easier for you to manage these funds efficiently to ensure that they are always productive. We understand your working-capital and liquidity needs and we have dedicated people to offer the appropriate investment advice and support based on your unique circumstances. Our client service teams also include an investment portfolio manager, who will operate in your local area of business and who has the knowledge and expertise to assist you with your investment requirements. Our investment centres in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg will allow you to engage directly with a knowledgeable investment manager. This will make the processing and settlement of investment transactions more efficient, as all investment transactions will be executed directly with the investment manager according to the mandate held. 3
