J.P. Morgan Treasury Services in Asia-Pacific

J.P. Morgan's Treasury Services is positioned to provide solutions to our clients (financial institutions and corporates) to help them achieve control, efficiency and visibility while managing risk. We navigate the complexities of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region (multiple geographies, regulations, currencies, languages and tax regimes) through a comprehensive list of capabilities including:

Cash Management Services - J.P. Morgan provides state of the art cash management solutions for corporates by providing solutions for accounts payable and accounts receivable enabling them to better manage their working capital needs. These capabilities apply across APAC ensuring standardized processes to facilitate both local and international transactions. This also supports local, regional and global control with corporate treasury policies and ensures optimal efficiency.

As a leading provider of cash management services to Financial Institutions globally, J.P. Morgan's cash management services enable best in class processing of transactions across the globe, driving efficiency and automation. Our partnerships enable global access to clearing systems for all our clients.

At J.P. Morgan we have accounts available in local and foreign currencies including US dollars, euros, pounds sterling and Japanese yen. We also provide counter services, check clearing, commercial cards, foreign currency payments, foreign exchange trading and electronic payments and receipts. Multicurrency Account Services are coordinated through our regional Center of Excellence in Singapore.

Liquidity Management Services - For companies operating at a regional and global level, centralized liquidity management structures are important for greater financial efficiency. We can provide treasurers and finance groups greater visibility and control of enterprise-wide cash, liquidity, local accounts and investment policies with cash concentration, time deposits and working capital and investment solutions.

Payables and Receivables Management Services - Treasurers needing to manage their working capital efficiency need greater control over payments because it increases earnings and reduces costs. J.P. Morgan's global capabilities and extensive memberships with local clearing systems in Asia ensure that we can deliver integrated physical and electronic payment solutions for all transaction types, supporting more efficient management of Day's Payables Outstanding (DPO) and enhancing cash flow.

By streamlining and accelerating the receivables cycles, we help clients unlock the working capital cycle and put trapped capital to much better use. For the treasurer, this reduces the internal and external financing costs, which is important for more efficient daily operations which ultimately funds business growth.

Foreign Exchange Services - An increasingly global business environment means that companies and institutions require a service provider that has the established processes, resources, and correspondent banking relationships to deal with the foreign exchange needs that result from the normal course of cash management transactions. While the top currencies - USD, euro, yen and sterling - remain the most actively-traded for business in Asia, there is an increasing need to deliver efficient foreign exchange capabilities wherever business is done, no matter what the currency requirements may be.

Electronic Banking Services - Clients around the world want safe, reliable access to data, transaction facilities and decision-support tools to help them effectively manage their treasury environment. The J.P. Morgan ACCESS™ portal integrates information delivery, investment and transaction services and inquiry tools in a seamless environment. The applications meet the global needs of our diverse client base with convenient and efficient business functionality.

Trade Services - Treasury Services has trade solutions for financing, settlement, business and process expertise, regulatory knowledge and global presence to increase supply chain efficiency, improve the trade cycle, reduce operating costs and enhance working capital management.

Escrow Services - J.P. Morgan provides escrow services for attorneys, accountants and other financial professionals involved in mergers and acquisitions, capital raising or other transactions that require escrow strategies.

Commercial Card Services - Our Commercial Card program for Asia can provide a robust solution for clients that are supported by our global program management and local expertise. J.P. Morgan offers clients a single point of contact -- from sales through implementation and relationship management -- and consults with them both globally and locally to build a program that meets their needs in each country.

International Image Deposit Centers throughout the region, including Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo enable local financial institutions to clear their U.S. dollar cash letters through J.P. Morgan.
