The German trade publication Der Treasurer and HSBC asked 223 CFOs and/or treasurers about TMS, Payment Systems, Gateways and Formats.

  • 48% of those surveyed are satisfied with their TMS. 
  • More than half of the respondents’ companies already use a system from a TMS provider. 
  • For two thirds the decision as to which treasury infrastructure to use is made by the Head of Treasury. 
  • Two-thirds decided in favor of the bank’s own systems, while a further 25% uses ERP-related systems. 
  • More than a quarter also use Excel sheets.
  • The TMS infrastructure used depends heavily on the turnover of the companies.
  • In companies with sales of more than EUR 1 billion, 72% of those surveyed use the system of a TMS provider.
  • ERP-related systems are also more likely to be found at large companies. 
  • At smaller companies, only 44% of them have used TMS to date. In contrast, companies of this size use a bank’s own system more often than average. 

Martin Schneider comments: These findings confirms our experience over 25 years.
