overview
FTP is a management accounting technique to understand where profits are emanating such as high yield assets and low cost liabilities, and to help enforce bank’s strategy with operational users. A good FTP system is a must for reasonably sized banks with multiple strategies.
Surya’s FTP product provides banks with ability to measure and evaluate net interest margin and compute profitability across assets and liabilities. It takes complexity out of FTP calculation by considering embedded market risk, using multiple transfer pricing methods.
It takes into consideration accounts, customers, products and business lines factors by facilitating assignment of distinct FTP rates for various pools determined by product and customer mix and dimensions like product groups and customer groups. Dimensions may be extended further depending upon the requirements.
