Mastering Global Accounts: Advanced Features to Simplify Multi‑Currency Management

In the modern  financial environment, businesses need powerful tools to manage global cash flow efficiently.

Global Accounts provides a scalable solution for companies handling multiple currencies, high transaction volumes, or complex internal account structures. Beyond basic account functions, the platform offers a suite of advanced features designed to streamline operations and automate previously manual workflows.

Let's explore four of the essential advanced tools available within Global Accounts, that you might not have been aware of.

One of the most powerful features within Global Accounts is the ability to create automated sweeping rules. These rules allow businesses to control how funds move between accounts, improving liquidity, reducing manual workload, and ensuring money is always where it needs to be.

Per‑Transaction Sweeping

A per‑transaction sweep moves funds immediately when they arrive into a chosen account. This is ideal for:

• Consolidating inbound payments into a master account
• Automatically converting currency at the point of receipt
• Moving received funds to an operating, payroll, or treasury account
• Streamlining payments to beneficiaries

To configure this sweep:

1. Navigate to Global Accounts → Sweeping Rules.
2. Click Add Sweeping Rule.
3. Select Per Transaction from What do you want to trigger the sweep?
4. Choose the account(s) you want the rule applied to.
5. Choose the destination—another Global Account, an external bank account, or an established beneficiary.
6. Set the start date and optional end date.
7. You can also apply this rule to all future accounts opened in that currency, ideal for organizations scaling quickly.

Regular Sweeping Based on Balance Thresholds

Global Accounts also allows you to automate sweeps based on account balance conditions, giving you full control over how much cash you hold in each account.

There are three types:

1) Maximum Balance Sweep

This rule sweeps funds when the account exceeds a defined threshold. Perfect for:

• Moving excess funds to a central treasury account
• Automatically transferring money to a local bank account
• Managing exposure to currency fluctuations

For example, once a EUR account exceeds €10,000, funds can automatically be moved to a GBP account with preferential FX rates applied.

2) Minimum Balance Sweep

Sweep funds into an account when the balance drops below a target. Useful for:

• Maintaining an operating float
• Ensuring payroll or expense accounts never fall below required levels
• Automating top‑ups from other currency accounts

For example, once a EUR account drops below €10,000, the account can be topped up as funds are automatically moved from a GBP account.

3) Target Balance Sweep

This combines both maximum and minimum rules to maintain an exact balance, such as keeping a EUR account's balance at €5,000 at all times.

For each type of balance sweep, you can define:

• Sweep frequency: Whether the rule will trigger a sweep immediatley when conditions are met, or at specified times daily, weekly, monthly.
• Sweep timing: To set what specific times throughout each day, week, or month that accounts should be conditions for a sweep should be checked.
• Source Accounts: Which accounts to sweep from or to

This level of automation transforms treasury operations, eliminates manual operations, and improves cash visibility across your organization.

This level of granularity makes auditing, reporting, and reconciliation significantly easier, especially for teams managing high‑volume accounts.

1. Select Add a Global Account with Bank Details

For treasury teams overseeing activity across multiple entities and currencies, the Accounts Transactions tab provides a full, cross‑currency view of all activity in one centralized table.
