FAQs

	Can DBS Notional Pooling support structures in different currencies?
	Yes.

	Can it be performed for accounts of subsidiary companies?
	Yes.

	Where will the interest benefit be allocated to?
	DBS provides flexibility of interest allocation. Interest derived from pooling can be apportioned to the pool master account or the sub accounts depending on the interest allocation method selected by client.

	What’s the difference between Notional Pooling and Cash Concentration?
	Cash Concentration involves physical movement of funds into a concentration account, thus, it creates inter-company loans, as money belongs to a different entity. There is no physical movement of funds for Notional Pooling, because account balances are notionally set-off.

	Can we do this on a regional basis?
	Notional Pooling only works across accounts in the same location. In addition, we provide interoperability with other liquidity techniques such as Cross-Border Sweep and Interest Optimisation to consolidate funds from multiple countries and regions. However, they are subject to the regulations of each country/region.
