Treasury Table Amsterdam: Bridging AI, Technology and Treasury

Treasury Table Amsterdam: Bridging AI, Technology and Treasury

From Treasury Masterminds

Last week, on September 11, the Treasury Table Amsterdam gathered a select group of corporate treasurers for an evening of fine dining, great conversation, and meaningful exchange. Co-invited by Treasury Masterminds alongside hosts Gurjit Pannu, Christian Sobkowski, and Rodel van Rooijen from Palm, the table brought together leaders eager to explore one of the hottest topics in our field:

Bridging AI, Technology and Treasury – Real-Life Use Cases.

Unlike theory-heavy conferences, the Treasury Table thrives on intimacy and honesty. Over dinner, treasurers shared what’s actually working for them, where the real opportunities lie, and what challenges they’re solving with technology right now.

Real-life use cases from the table

The conversations quickly moved from hype to hands-on:

  • AI Co-Pilots – one participant admitted, “I cannot live without it anymore.” From drafting to analysing, these tools are already embedded in daily workflows.
  • Stablecoins – another treasurer highlighted how they are experimenting with faster, cheaper international payments.
  • Connectivity between systems – a recurring theme: treasurers crave seamless integration across TMS, ERP, and bank platforms.
  • Data cleansing – as one guest put it, “garbage in, garbage out.” High-quality data is the foundation of every tech initiative.
  • Cash flow forecasting & categorisation – the classics, but now enhanced by AI models, helping treasurers cut through complexity with speed.

Where (and how) to start – a mini project plan

One of the biggest questions of the evening was: “Where should treasurers start with AI and tech projects?”

Two practical answers stood out:

  • From Palm: Take small, incremental steps. Start with manageable improvements and build momentum. Success breeds confidence, and each step forward lowers the barrier for the next.
  • From Patrick (Pecunia): Pick your biggest pain point. Automate the area causing the most friction in your treasury. This not only frees up time but also delivers the biggest savings and ROI, making the project a win from day one.

Mini project plan for treasurers:

  1. Identify pain points – what drains the most time or creates the most risk?
  2. Start small – choose a project that’s achievable in weeks, not years.
  3. Automate & measure – implement a tech solution, track the impact, and showcase the ROI.
  4. Scale up – use the success story to expand into other areas of treasury.

Why it matters

The key takeaway? Technology and AI aren’t abstract buzzwords anymore. They are practical tools treasurers are adopting to improve speed, accuracy, and decision-making. The consensus at the table was clear: those who embrace these innovations now will shape the future of treasury.

Looking ahead

The evening proved once again that treasurers learn best from each other—sharing real stories, successes, and lessons learned. At Treasury Masterminds, we’re proud to facilitate these conversations, helping the community stay ahead of change while keeping things practical and real.

Until the next Treasury Table—cheers to the future of treasury, where data, connectivity, and AI work hand in hand.
