Kyriba and J.P. Morgan Payments today announce a new real-time treasury solution with a new API that delivers real-time cash visibility and bank reporting, which will be made available to their mutual clients. The end-to-end process automation, using J.P. Morgan’s open banking API capabilities, enhances existing API-based connectivity and enables more frequent data retrieval and status updates to power real-time decision making on investing cash balances. A mutual client, Hunt Companies, has already gained efficiencies and value from having these enhanced capabilities.

“We are excited to deliver real-time payments and bank reporting through a deep integration with J.P. Morgan Payments,” said Bob Stark, Global Head of Market Strategy at Kyriba. “The new API integration empowers our mutual clients with real-time treasury and rapid decision support to improve financial resilience through accelerated investments, reduced borrowing and more effective hedging.”

“Modern financial controls, instant cash positioning and enterprise-wide liquidity management are table stakes for international corporations,” said Santiago Alcaraz, Head of Partnership & Integrations at J.P. Morgan Payments Digital Channels. “We’re thrilled to be working with Kyriba to unlock value for our mutual treasury clients. Using this solution, early adopters can leap ahead with real-time treasury technology as they navigate increased volatility and fragmented processes.”
