What does the Derivative Path and Baton Systems solution actually do?

It integrates FX payments and nostro management, allowing regional banks to control core currency operations directly while maintaining existing correspondent banking relationships for other needs. This provides greater pricing flexibility, liquidity control, and operational visibility.

Will this solution replace correspondent banking entirely?

No. The solution enables a hybrid model, allowing banks to choose which currencies they manage directly and which they continue to service through correspondent banking relationships. It augments, rather than replaces, existing networks.

Is this solution for large banks only?

This solution is specifically designed for regional and mid-market financial institutions looking to enhance their FX and multi-currency capabilities beyond the limitations of traditional correspondent banking.
