Trovata Payments is the execution layer of treasury — the system that centralizes how money moves across the enterprise.

It connects upstream treasury decisions to downstream bank execution, providing a single control point for initiating, approving, transmitting, and tracking payments across banks, systems, and financial instruments.

Rather than replacing ERPs or bank portals, Trovata Payments orchestrates them. It brings disparate payment sources into one governed workflow, provides visibility into bank acknowledgements and outcomes, and ensures payments flow cleanly into reconciliation, accounting, and forecasting.

Payments may originate from multiple sources, all converging into a unified workflow within Trovata.

2. Imported Payments. Files generated by ERPs or external systems and imported into Trovata using a standardized template. (Payments import template for reference: Payments Import 2026.xlsx )

3. API-Based Payments. Payment instructions programmatically pushed into Trovata from upstream systems.

4. Account Transfers. Internal liquidity movements such as cash concentration, pooling, and intercompany funding.

​
​5. Capital Markets Payments. Payments automatically generated from debt schedules, investments, FX transactions, and intercompany instruments.

Regardless of origin, all payments are normalized into a common structure for approval, execution, tracking, and downstream processing.

Once a payment enters Trovata, it is routed through predefined approval workflows. Routing can be configured based on:

Approvals occur within Trovata — not within bank portals — ensuring consistent governance, segregation of duties, and audit visibility across all banks.

​

Beyond approval workflows, Trovata enables payment controls at the bank account level, including:

These controls align payment execution with internal liquidity policies and risk management standards.

Execution controls can incorporate balance-based validation at the time of release.

Configurable controls may include:

Balance validation accuracy depends on bank reporting cadence (API-based vs. file-based reporting). During implementation, treasury defines acceptable reporting frequency to align execution policies with real-time liquidity visibility.

​

Approval workflows are often conditional rather than uniform.

Trovata supports routing logic based on combinations of:

This enables governance models such as:

Workflows are configured during implementation and can be adjusted over time as governance policies evolve.

Payment release can be configured independently from approval stages.

Organizations may choose to:

Security configurations are defined during implementation and aligned with internal risk and compliance policies.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) can be enabled for approvals and/or release, strengthening security controls for higher-risk payment types.

Trovata supports a broad range of electronic payment types across regions and banks, including:

Payment type availability is controlled at the bank account level and aligns with each bank’s supported rails and cut-off times.

It is important to distinguish between:

Different banks and currency combinations may require distinct field-level configurations. These scenarios are defined and validated during implementation.

Approved payments are transmitted to banks using secure integrations (API, SWIFT, or SFTP).

Trovata tracks bank acknowledgements, which may include:

Status updates are reflected within Trovata, providing a centralized view of execution across all connected banks.

SWIFT payment initiation is supported only when the client is connected through a SWIFT Service Bureau (e.g., StoneX or FIDES). We work with both providers; however, the client must obtain a BIC and complete the required KYC process before enabling SWIFT-based payments.

Connectivity methods vary by bank and region.

Trovata supports:

Key considerations:

During implementation, each bank is evaluated to determine the optimal connectivity model based on capability, region, cost, and reporting requirements.

Trovata orchestrates these integrations but does not replace bank-side infrastructure.

Payments extend beyond execution.

Once bank statements are received:

This closed-loop process ensures treasury decisions, execution, and reporting remain aligned.

Each payment maintains a comprehensive audit trail, including:

Payments may be edited prior to final approval, subject to role permissions. Approvers can return payments for correction rather than requiring deletion and recreation.

Attachments uploaded at initiation remain visible throughout the approval lifecycle.

This structure ensures compliance, traceability, and defensibility during audits.

Trovata Payments implementations are designed to minimize disruption while improving control and visibility.

During onboarding, teams typically configure:

Existing ERP systems and bank relationships remain in place. Trovata orchestrates payment governance and execution — it does not replace upstream systems or banking infrastructure.

Repetitive payment templates are configured during onboarding to support common payment scenarios.

Templates may include:

In many cases, existing bank templates can be migrated into Trovata rather than rebuilt from scratch.

Template configuration is completed during implementation in coordination with banking partners or implementation specialists.

Payment file generation and transmission frequently depend on ERP configuration.

Common implementation approaches include:

If ERP vendors introduce delays, implementation can proceed in parallel:

This phased model reduces vendor dependency bottlenecks and accelerates measurable progress.

Treasury environments evolve due to refinancing, acquisitions, or geographic expansion.

Trovata supports:

Changes can typically be managed by authorized administrators or in coordination with customer success and implementation partners.

This ensures the payment infrastructure remains adaptable without requiring full reimplementation.
