Welcome to the Corporate Treasury 101 podcast!

Today, we talk about PoBo and CoBo.

What is even that, you may ask? PoBo CoBo are the acronyms for “Payments On Behalf Of” and "Collections Of Behalf Of”.

Who better than a former Treasury Consultant who has implemented PoBo CoBo structures for clients, to speak about this topic?

Laurent Geunens was a Manager in the Treasury Practice of a Big 4 consulting firm, and is now the Global Treasury Leader at Punch Powertrain. Needless to say that he is a seasoned Treasury professional with a tremendous amount of knowledge, in particular when it comes to in house banks, Treasury Systems and PoBo CoBo.

In the episode of today, expect to learn:

What is PoBo CoBo?
What are the benefits for corporates to have such a structure?
What are the restrictions to be taken into account
How to implement a PoBo CoBo structure technology, ressources and location wise
The type of structure Laurent has implemented when he was a Treasury consultant
Whether Fintech can impact the world of in house banks

And much… much more

Laurent is… amazing. He has such a deep understanding of complex Treasury processes, structures, systems and yet, is able to break them down into a very understandable way.

I really enjoyed our conversation.
