Nordea’s Next-Gen FX Success: How TreasurUp Drove Automated Hedging & Higher Client Value

If you ask most commercial bankers what their greatest challenge is, the same answers keep popping up: beating fintech competition, retaining business clients, and delivering real innovation on a tight timeline.

Nordea, the leading Nordic universal bank faced these very hurdles. Yet instead of patching over outdated systems, they chose a different path. They partnered with TreasurUp to create a next-generation FX front-end that delivers automated hedging, seamless bookkeeping connectivity, and a massive jump in client satisfaction.

In this article, we explore how Nordea used TreasurUp to streamline FX risk management, empower corporate clients, and stay ahead of the curve. Read on for key insights, a first-hand perspective from Nordea’s Head of Next Gen FX, and how your bank can do the same.

Why Nordea Needed a Next-Gen FX Platform

Nordea serves thousands of corporate customers who trade internationally, face volatile exchange rates, and demand user-friendly digital solutions. Traditional approaches to FX hedging often involved slow manual processes, scattered data, and minimal automation.

Nordea’s leadership recognized they had to:

1. Enhance Client Retention: Complex or clunky digital channels drive corporate treasurers to other banks or fintechs. 
2. Strengthen FX Revenues: The right front-end solution can boost deal flow and increase fee income. 
3. Streamline Hedging and Bookkeeping: Busy clients want fewer spreadsheets, fewer manual tasks, and more real-time insights.
   

The TreasurUp Approach

TreasurUp specializes in white-labeled front-ends for banks, with a focus on FX Risk Management & Execution plus Cash & Liquidity Management. Our mission is to empower banks to excel in digital offerings, especially for commercial and corporate segments that demand more advanced tools.

For Nordea, TreasurUp delivered:

• Automated Hedging: Corporate clients can set a hedging policy, track exposures in real time, and let the system execute trades seamlessly. 
• Bookkeeping Connectivity: Companies integrate their ERP or accounting software directly into the FX module, turning the clunky invoice-hedge-payment chain into a fluid, error-free process. 
• Modular Front-End: All of this is wrapped under Nordea’s branding, so clients enjoy the convenience of TreasurUp technology without leaving the Nordea ecosystem.
