On average, our clients benefit by 0.52% improved rates
That means you can see the benefit of using a platform. Likwidity can take the advantages of using a Deposit Platform further. Unlike our competitors, we do not get paid any commissions by any of the Banks we deal with. We have no conflicts of interest when it comes to which Bank you choose to place your funds with. We endeavour to get you the best rates available. Every time. Even after accounting for our nominal fee, you could see a benefit of up to 50% Unlike commission taking competitors, you are not limited to just dealing with the Banks on “our panel”. Being a technology platform, we enable you to transact with any Bank that you have a relationship with. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not get involved in moving any of your funds thus removing any settlement risks or potentials for delay
In addition to ensuring you get the best rates available as we mentioned, you also get improved business process automation, a full audit trail of all dealings, improved compliance and reporting. According to our data, our Clients have seen an average benefit of 43 basis points when transacting deposits over $2,000,000
If you have average balances of less than $1m, then it may not be worthwhile. But above that amount, it's worthwhile. The higher the balances, the more you stand to gain. Our data shows spreads between the Big-4 of 43 basis points. The spreads are even higher when you take international, mid-tier and smaller Banks into the mix. See our benefit calculator
Commission based platforms typically charge anywhere between 5-20 basis points per transaction in commissions. Additionally, different Banks pay different commissions making it hard to decipher what the true rate you could have received. This is never disclosed to you - the end Client. Finally, commission-based platforms will only allow you to deal with Banks that are on their “panel”. Likwidity, being a technology provider rather than a Broker allows you to deal with any Bank you want.
