Standard Chartered Maps Six Trends Reshaping Corporate Treasuryfirst seen 2026-09-09 · 2 reports · similarity 0.72 · same topic: Standard Chartered

Corporate treasury is evolving from a back-office function focused on payments and cash balances into a real-time hub for liquidity, risk and cross-border operations. Standard Chartered said artificial intelligence, programmable payments, tokenisation and regulated digital-asset custody are moving closer to mainstream corporate use. The shift matters because companies must modernise financial infrastructure while preserving security, regulatory compliance and control across markets.

At its 2026 Treasury Management Forum, Standard Chartered identified six trends reshaping finance, highlighting real-time transactions, AI adoption, tokenisation and accelerating use of digital assets. Discussions examined how programmable payments could streamline cross-border fund flows and improve liquidity, alongside compliant custody frameworks for digital assets. The bank said it would draw on its global network and digital-asset capabilities to help corporate clients advance towards more intelligent, integrated treasury management.
