SME Banking

What you’ll learn

As businesses grow, many medium and large SMEs face treasury-like challenges — managing liquidity, cash flow, and financial risk in an increasingly complex environment. At the same time, corporate treasurers are rethinking how they optimize working capital and navigate uncertainty.

For banks, this shift creates a unique opportunity to redefine their value proposition — evolving from product providers to strategic partners that help clients of all sizes improve visibility, efficiency, and sustainability in their financial operations.

In this session, EY experts will share insights from their latest global research, “How can banks shape their strategy to unlock new value for corporate treasurers?” The discussion will feature leading corporate bankers who will explore how banks are adapting — using digital transformation, data-driven insights, and new collaboration models to deliver tangible value for corporate and larger SME clients.

Together, we’ll explore how innovation, technology, and partnership are reshaping the future of treasury and cash management.

Main topics

Evolving needs of treasurers and financial leaders in medium/large SMEs and corporates

Redefining the bank–client partnership in cash and liquidity management
