An Interview with Arthur Moran, Senior Vice President, Head of Intraday Liquidity,
Collateral Analysis and Limit Monitoring at Northern Trust Corporation

Ahead of the 7th Annual Treasury Innovation Forum , we spoke with Arthur Moran, Senior Vice President, Head of Intraday Liquidity, Collateral Analysis and Limit Monitoring at Northern Trust Corporation.

What are the main challenges in intraday liquidity management today?

Banks who operate globally are being challenged with having intraday capabilities and controls to view and forecast cash and securities positions nearly 24/7.  Global Regulators are starting to dig into intraday capabilities and the bar has been raised for banks to increase these capabilities and to have a holistic approach for managing intraday liquidity during normal times and times of stress.  The expectations can be grouped into three pillars; governance of an intraday framework, monitoring and reporting, and controlling intraday liquidity via adequate systems and applications.

What are the main technology challenges for intraday liquidity management?

The first challenge is aggregating intraday data across a global network – gathering MT messages and feeds from Sub Custodians, Agent Banks, FMUs and Central Banks this needs to be done for historical data ASAP but also a system is needed to aggregate, stage and push the data to an analytical tool intraday in “near real time”.    From a technology perspective for most banks the current payment systems and if the goal is to combine intraday credit information, DDA systems are not up to this task.  The largest banks in the US have been required to increase liquidity reporting on T+2 which can be a challenge to start, getting intraday data from the same systems and infrastructure is very difficult.

What are the innovations in intraday liquidity management across the industry?

A lot of the same buzz words we hear every where “Predictive Analytics” “Machine Learning” and “Artificial Intelligence” but before any of these can be considered banks need to have the correct infrastructure and systems in place to capture intraday data.  There have been interesting advances and pushes from Business Intelligence and Analytic vendor systems that banks have been considering and in some case implementing.  But before a strategic BI and Analytical system is purchased banks need to have a handle and roadmap on their data – otherwise it leads to junk in and junk out

What would you like to achieve by attending the 7th Annual Treasury Innovation Forum?

Unlike other risk stripes such as Credit Risk, Market Risk and Interest Rate Risk – Intraday Risk is still in it’s infancy.  Global Regulators are still putting together their thoughts and have not issued any firm regulation or requirements.  The BCBS 248 Monitoring Tools are a small step but there is no guidance on intraday requirements or reporting.  Given the infancy stage it is important for Banks to stay connect and share progress and ideas with peers.  It is important for banks to move together as much as possible and not be identified as an outlier in terms of capabilities and controls but that will likely cause regulatory scrutiny.  Given all this, I hope to strengthen current connections and make new ones in the industry while looking to share ideas and have meaningful discussions on the topic of Treasury Innovation specifically relating to intraday liquidity.
