Broadridge Supports Merck in Transforming Corporate Treasury Operations

Broadridge Financial Solutions has been engaged by Merck to provide Swift Instant Cash Reporting services through its Swift Service Bureau and SCORE+ platform. This implementation allows Merck to access real-time balances and transaction information for over 400 accounts worldwide, improving visibility and operational efficiency in corporate treasury management.

The services provided by Broadridge enable standardized data retrieval from multiple banking partners, reducing complexity compared with traditional bank-specific API implementations. By consolidating account information and offering on-demand reporting, Broadridge’s technology supports corporate decision-making and cash flow oversight for large, multi-national companies.

Broadridge’s platform integrates with the Swift network, facilitating timely processing of financial messaging, including payments, securities, and corporate actions. The solution reflects the growing adoption of fintech innovations to address liquidity management and operational challenges faced by large corporate treasuries.

Merck leverages the system to monitor hundreds of accounts with the ability to retrieve information from up to 1,000 accounts per API call. This capability streamlines treasury operations, enabling more effective management of global cash flows and reducing the operational burden of reconciling multiple banking systems.

Looking ahead, Broadridge plans to expand its API-enabled services to include features such as Stop & Recall and Payment Preparation tools, further supporting end-to-end corporate payment management. These developments illustrate the role of fintech providers in modernizing institutional financial operations.
