ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CetoLogic, a leading provider of software and analytics for financial institutions and retailers, announced today that $4.5 billion, West Jordan, Utah-based Mountain America Credit Union has reduced its cash levels by more than $7 million since implementing CetoLogic’s C3 Financial cash management and forecasting solution.
CetoLogic’s C3 Financial uses historical data to provide Mountain America Credit Union with accurate branch cash order recommendations through its forecasting engine, which anticipates individual branch cash needs by predicting future member activity, enabling better management of the credit union’s cash inventory throughout its 84 branch locations.
“Our $7.1 million cash reduction translates to an average branch cash reduction of nearly $85,000, allowing us to redirect this excess cash from our branches to alternative investments and lending,” said Daniel Phillips, SVP of Finance and Controller for Mountain America Credit Union. “C3 Financial far exceeded our expectations, and as a result, we recently renewed our partnership with CetoLogic and will continue to leverage C3 Financial to maintain optimal cash levels and keep cash inventory in-line with member demand throughout our extensive branch network.”
“Financial institutions that manage up to the cash limit rather than down to cash usage will find themselves at a strategic disadvantage in a rising rate environment, because as interest rates go up, the cost of funds also goes up,” said David Austin, Vice President of CetoLogic. “To survive in this new environment, financial institutions need to focus on ways to fund loan demand, and cash continues – and will always continue – to represent the cheapest asset class to tap into for lending opportunities.”
