FAQs
Can you support Notional Pooling structures in different currencies?

Yes, we can support structures in TWD, USD and RMB. However, each structure can only consist of accounts of the same currency.

Can Notional Pooling be performed among accounts of subsidiary companies?

Yes. The individual subsidiary companies shall agree to and sign notional pooling agreement.

Where will the notional pool interest benefit be allocated to?

Interest derived from pooling can be apportioned to the pool master account or the sub-accounts depending on the percentage of each account daily balance.

What’s the difference between Notional Pooling and Cash Concentration?

Cash Concentration requires the physical movement of funds into one account. Inter-company loans are created as funds move between the accounts of different companies. There is no physical movement of funds for Notional Pooling as account balances are notionally set-off. 

Can I do this on a regional basis?

Notional Pooling only works across accounts in the same location. In addition, we provide interoperability with other liquidity techniques such as Cross-Border Sweep and Interest Optimisation to consolidate funds from multiple countries. However, they are subject to the regulations of each country.
