Bond Treasury x treasuryXL: Q&A with Marcus Strych
10s of billions in cash managed, 36.5 billion annualised trading volume and $1 trillion in annualised payment volume on the platform in your first year – what was the moment you realized Bond was hitting something huge?
It really clicked when our first wave of truly global enterprises went live and then a category-leading, NYSE-listed company renewed early for 5 years. That level of trust, so early on, was a clear signal that Bond was solving the most meaningful pain points.
Looking ahead to 2026, what excites you most about what’s coming?
What excites me most is seeing our AI continue to compound its capabilities. As Bond enables more efficient and KPI driven treasury operations, it builds a deeper understanding of how each organisation works, the structures, behaviours, and constraints enabling Bond to get smarter, more precise, and more impactful every single day. As we say Bond is better than it was yesterday and will be even better tomorrow.
When you compare Bond to other treasury platforms, what makes you most proud?
What I’m most proud of is that we’ve built something genuinely differentiated at the engineering level: Software that compounds in value the more it’s used, redefining what ROI looks like for a modern TMS. Bond isn’t a reporting or workflow tool, it’s a system designed to think, plan, and act, representing a fundamentally new approach to treasury software.
Which routine treasury tasks do you love making simpler for your users, and how will treasuryXL followers benefit from this?
We love to focus on the hardest and most time-consuming work in treasury. The tasks that drain teams’ time but still have to be done perfectly. These include workflows that were difficult or impossible to automate end-to-end before AI, such as inter-company funding, reconciliation, and other highly manual, cross-organisation processes. By automating these areas, teams get time back to focus on higher-value decision-making.
