Ayora
Founded: 2022
Products: Cash visibility platform
Overview: Ayora offers a modern platform designed to help enterprises gain cash visibility across bank accounts and cash investment products. Clients can also digitise their treasury policy (or create one from scratch) and monitor their risk exposures and compliance in real-time. The stated aim of the platform is to assist companies in their decision-making and the mitigation of treasury risks including liquidity, FX and counterparty risk.
The product is geared towards companies that seek to improve cash management but are not ready to invest in a large, dedicated treasury team and extensive technology infrastructure. The platform facilitates collaboration and stronger governance, and can be used by financial decision-makers and their teams using a privilege management system that caters to different roles.
The product leverages secure open banking technology to achieve connectivity with a wide range of banks in the UK, Europe and the US. It can be used off-the-shelf with a minimum implementation lead time. Security measures are driven by the firm’s ISO 27001 certificate, and these are regularly tested with the help of CREST-accredited penetration testers.

TMI view: A modern and lightweight cash management tool with a treasury and risk policy builder.
Verdict: Ayora should be of interest to companies that know they need better cash visibility but can’t extend to a full TMS/core system.
