FX: Firm looks to slash banks’ netting costs

London-based Cash Netting Services is aiming to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in annual costs for banks by helping them find netting opportunities on a bilateral basis.

The FX industry veteran behind a proposed payments netting service reckons it could save global banks hundreds of millions of dollars a year by reducing interbank payment flows and associated liquidity and capital management obligations.

Cash Netting Services (CNS) is an information service created to help banks identify netting opportunities on a bilateral basis.

Banks settle a net position with a single payment at the end of each netting session using existing payment methods. Some payment infrastructures incorporate netting mechanisms, such as Clearing House Interbank Payments Systems (CHIPS) for USD payments.
