Kyriba Reviews

As a treasury tool, I have seen clients implement Kyriba extensively. I have worked in the capacity as a consultant to guide them through the process of setting up Kyriba, more from a top-down business process perspective and how to manage the treasury pieces differently in different kinds of organizational financial setups.

Cash pooling is the specific example where I have extensively seen Kyriba being used for treasury management. What it means is the inter-company trades are not settled between those inter-company parties, but settled against the parent company code, sort of acting as an anchor between the two child nodes. The cash gets settled against the anchor nodes or the parent company, and then the parent company settles the differences to the other company codes in the network. A corporate company code acts as the cash pool, while the other entities within the group connect up with the cash pool or the corporate entity to settle inter-company trades, and that is where the book of records of inter-company settlements is maintained.

The setup I have seen more extensively is such that a capability, although it can be developed in an ERP solution, does require a lot of customizations to be developed, specifically in the setup of SAP ERP. Such a capability is possible to develop, but it is not out of the box. SAP does have its own treasury module which offers similar capability, but Kyriba certainly has a front-end setup that is more streamlined compared to what I have seen with SAP Treasury. That is why customers prefer Kyriba. The different rule sets that can be developed in a more user-friendly manner in Kyriba to perform the analysis and the final settlement postings make the usability present in Kyriba, while it requires more customization and enhancements in an SAP setup or a SAP Treasury setup, to be more specific.

The best features Kyriba offers, particularly in the context of cash pooling, include a more simplistic UI to see overall, especially for bigger corporates with more than 100 entities. It is easier to visualize the inter-company setup, where the open credits or debits are located. The UI seems to be the most stunning feature that stands out the most, followed up by the rule-setting process, which also appears to be more straightforward compared to what SAP Treasury offers.

These features do impact day-to-day operations for clients. It does save time, particularly at month-end close, where postings and adjustment postings have to be made across all legal entities. Having that capability is really beneficial, and the UI assists in applying the rule set across the whole corporate list of entities, which differentiates Kyriba, adding to the operational efficiency, specifically during the month-end close where time is limited. It certainly adds quite a lot of value.

Since Kyriba is more of a bolt-on, I suggest that more adapters are developed with ERP solutions, specifically S/4, as my idea for improvement. In cases of integration, the adapters were available, but the data sets had to be realigned. The structures in which SAP S/4 operates and the structures in Kyriba had to be mapped. If those can be developed out of the box, it would certainly smoothen the overall implementation experience. Additionally, moving open AR/AP positions from SAP S/4 to Kyriba is done as a batch load, meaning on request. If those interfaces are developed in real-time, so that real-time positions are always moved over to Kyriba, it would enhance the process even further because then the analysis is not contingent upon an on-demand pull request; it happens live. Tighter integration, and tighter real-time integration with the ERP ledgers, could help enhance the capabilities further.

Tighter integration certainly is the core area for improvement with Kyriba. In addition to that, I would say that the adoption of AI could be another enhancement in the UI. The context I would suggest for its implementation is within the analysis of discrepancies. Obviously, not everything reconciles perfectly anytime cash pooling is done, so identifying postings where the match cannot be performed, leading to necessary settlements, would be good areas for Kyriba to develop further capabilities.

I have been working in my current field for close to 15 to 18 years.

I have not particularly experienced any downtime or reliability issues with Kyriba. It is stable in my observation.

Given Kyriba operates in the cloud, its scalability is somewhat covered as part of the capabilities the cloud offers in terms of scaling. I could not point to any scaling issues that I have observed.

My experience with customer support has been that they were involved in some cases with integration, but I have not encountered any critical gaps.

I have seen clients using different treasury tools in their setups. From the perspective of a consultant, I do work with clients who have utilized SAP Treasury or SAP S/4 Treasury as another solution, while Kyriba was used by another client, providing me with a backdrop of different treasury modules or treasury applications.

I evaluated SAP Treasury before choosing Kyriba.

In terms of the positive impact Kyriba has on my organization or my client's organizations, I think the number of people required during month-end close has decreased. The company I have extensively seen using Kyriba is a railroad company with more than 150 entities in the group. The corporate workload during month-end close, especially with treasury, was much more streamlined. I have seen SAP Treasury being used for a large shipping container company, and in this context, the same railroad company implementing Kyriba clearly demonstrated a smoother month-end close. The application of the rule set and the visibility into the rule set getting applied for cash pooling certainly stands out as a key feature with Kyriba. While it is possible in SAP Treasury, the UI is not super streamlined for this process.

I do have some numbers on time saved. The month-end calendar for this company is approximately five to six days from when the period postings are locked and the month-end postings are performed. When it comes down to treasury, which takes around a day and a half, it comes down to under a day. In terms of hours saved in the overall month-end closing process, specifically for the treasury function, it certainly reduces time by more than 25 percent.

The general impression regarding return on investment is that I will not discuss specific money saved because it is client confidential, but I can state that for month-end close activities, there is at least a 25 percent and upwards reduction in the time it takes to close the books, which certainly translates into money saved and fewer resources needed. I also believe there are opportunities within Kyriba for tailored AI use cases to be enabled within the tool, which could help enhance this capability further, alongside the integration topics I mentioned.

My advice to others looking into using Kyriba is that it poses strong competition in the treasury market. Even if one has chosen SAP as the core book of records and for other corporate functions, it is worth considering Kyriba. It is a good bolt-on, similar to other tools such as Vertex for pricing and PowerPlan for asset management. Kyriba is a very good competitor in the treasury space worth consideration.

The relationship with this vendor is more as partners rather than simply being customers. I partner with both big and small vendors.

I would rate this review an 8 overall.

My main use case for Kyriba is as a treasury workstation to manage cash flows and payments.

A specific example of how I use Kyriba for managing cash flows and payments in my daily work is that we get forecasts from different source systems which are converted into Kyriba's cash flow format and loaded into Kyriba, and the business operations team uses that information to manage the cash flow.

Kyriba offers several best features including an integrated platform for access to the banks, which means Brighthouse does not need to establish separate infrastructure connectivities, especially separate network connectivity with individual banks; a great platform for reviewing payments before they are approved and sent to the banks; good reporting capabilities; and it is very cost-effective compared to other projects in the market, such as SAP Treasury.

Out of those features, I find myself relying on the integrated bank access the most because we deal with quite a number of banks, and if Kyriba did not have this feature, we would have to establish connectivity with all those individual banks, which would be a nightmare since banks keep upgrading their systems very often, and Kyriba manages the bank relations and connectivity on behalf of the clients.

Kyriba has positively impacted my organization as it is used as a treasury workstation, which helps us integrate with our investment platform called BlackRock, a product by Aladdin, thereby assisting with profitability as a whole.

Kyriba has helped with profitability by giving us a platform to notify BlackRock about the available cash for investments, and Aladdin is used to invest this money, which is helping us with profit instead of just letting it sit in the bank account.

Kyriba can be improved as it provides a lot of new features that we have not taken advantage of since we implemented it back in 2017 at Brighthouse Financial, and since then, Kyriba has introduced features such as real-time payment monitoring and many AI-related features that we have not been utilizing; our first step would be to assess Kyriba's implementation at Brighthouse and ensure that it is used in the most optimal manner.

Kyriba could improve their support, as the production support may sometimes be a bit delayed.

Regarding Kyriba's AI capabilities, I have not looked into those subjects in detail, as I have only heard about them casually in the past, but from a security point of view, Kyriba is really good with multiple levels of approvals and solid user administration.

Kyriba integrates with our other financial systems or platforms through file-to-file based integrations at this moment, as we are not leveraging API capabilities; we have files from the source system which our internal ERP converts to Kyriba's expected format, and after conversion, the files are automatically integrated into Kyriba through sFTP, with exports also being processed through our ERP system.

I have been using Kyriba for about nine years.

Kyriba handles disaster recovery and business continuity for our organization by having a disaster recovery website that automatically switches over to the DR site during a system failure, while we internally notify our Brighthouse team and get into a call to resolve the issue and restore the main system, and Kyriba has been doing well in that aspect.

Kyriba could improve their support, as the production support may sometimes be a bit delayed.

I measure the success of our Kyriba implementation with clear goals to ensure that every payment is made on time without failure and goes to the right individual and bank account, and I have seen fair success in the nine years since we implemented it.

My advice to others looking into using Kyriba is that it is a great product and very cost-effective, especially compared to other competitors in the market, and I have been very happy with Kyriba over the past nine years.

I hope we can implement the new Kyriba features soon, as they should be more beneficial to the business. I give this product a rating of seven.

My main use case for Kyriba is to onboard merger and acquisition-based accounts, set the account life cycle, and make payments streamlined as Kyriba is a SaaS-based payments concentrator that helps with treasury management system and keeps cash visibility up to date.

Once a merger, acquisition, or demerger is announced, the legal team reaches our treasury team for a sign-off on onboarding these accounts. We perform KYC on different levels, running in parallel with the account opening process or migration novation process. Then we reach out to Kyriba. As an admin in Kyriba systems, I have the privilege to make modifications, create accounts, company codes, budget codes, and everything that pertains to these accounts so that it can have day-one capability from treasury's visibility and cash visibility perspective. This helps us onboard accounts and readily use Kyriba for treasury operations and other accounts payable and receivable perspectives.

Kyriba is the best software available, and I have no comments to make otherwise. I have seen a return on investment based on the user data we have and industry standards. The initial investment on cost or yearly fee gets superseded by the transaction fees and tax savings we have on bulk transactions and cross-border connectivity Kyriba offers. The return on investment is certainly above 1x, which means we get more than what we have invested. I would say Kyriba is a very profitable proposition when pricing is done correctly and then implemented on a large level.

The best features Kyriba offers include cash and liquidity management, automatic reconciliation, AI-based forecasting, cash forecasting, and the ability to generate cash position worksheets. Kyriba streamlines batch payments and has worldwide connectivity reach, even dealing with sanctioned countries or sanctioned states so that business can run while respecting sanctions and other restrictions under the law of the land.

AI-based forecasting has the ability to learn through machine learning. Once the nature, practices, or repetitive transactions are fed as backtesting, they can be implemented to create further cash positions and forecasting, which leads to effective operative cash flow fluidity and helps businesses reduce unnecessary costs on intercompany transfers, cross-border transfers, and tax implications. On a global level, we have accounts that are really connected and help with effective cash management, ensuring that cash does not sit idle at any branch or entity and generates inorganic income along with the organic business that a particular company has to offer.

Kyriba has had a positive impact on my organization. Prior to implementation, cash visibility was somewhere around 60 to 70 percent. After post-implementation, the efficiency runs at 99.8 percent, with the 0.2 percent being restricted entities that we are not supposed to integrate due to some compliance issues. Otherwise, Kyriba works well, and cash management improved with an efficiency of 102 percent, which is an outstanding achievement.

I do not have any improvements that come to mind because Kyriba is so perfect.

I have been using Kyriba for over five years.

Kyriba is very stable and operates in a human-like manner. Even AI gets shied away in front of Kyriba because of its approach to operations.

Kyriba's scalability is exceptional as it can handle growing needs and more users easily. I can say with certainty that even Microsoft, Steve Jobs, Apple, and everyone will get defeated by Kyriba with its scalability in the coming 50 years. Kyriba will rule Earth with all its operations and will be a unified system where everything is used. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to integrate UPI and BHIM UPI with Kyriba for effective governance and payment connectivity.

Customer support with Kyriba is very nice. We always go for team lunches and outings where we share beverages, and they offer good solutions and customer support anytime, around the clock, 24/7.

Kyriba is the first solution I have used and I did not previously use a different solution.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Kyriba is that they are very fluid with their pricing. They have a good sales and pre-sales team who give a realistic price target based on operations volume and business continuity plan, so they provide a good competitive offer.

My company is the principal platinum partner for Kyriba in its implementations.

I have seen a return on investment based on the user data we have and industry standards. The initial investment on cost or yearly fee gets superseded by the transaction fees and tax savings we have on bulk transactions and cross-border connectivity Kyriba offers. The return on investment is certainly above 1x, which means we get more than what we have invested. I would say Kyriba is a very profitable proposition when pricing is done correctly and then implemented on a large level.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Kyriba is that they are very fluid with their pricing. They have a good sales and pre-sales team who give a realistic price target based on operations volume and business continuity plan, so they provide a good competitive offer.

Before choosing Kyriba, I evaluated other options such as 360T, Lodumodu, and Chodumal, but they were very limited in their offerings in the market. They had similar operations but were on a lower level, which got superseded by Kyriba, and we chose Kyriba because of this.

I recommend that all the modules that Kyriba uses are something clients or prospective businesses who wish to implement Kyriba as the treasury management system software could delve into and try to implement. I rate Kyriba a 10 out of 10 because I do not see any other alternative in the market for the next 50 years. With Deloitte as the principal alliance partner for Kyriba implementation with clients, I think nobody sits even at the fence. My advice for others looking into using Kyriba is to close your eyes and believe it blindly. I give Kyriba an overall review rating of 10.

My main use case for Kyriba is reconciliations.

I can give you a specific example of how I use Kyriba for reconciliations: we get payments coming to us, and they come under Kyriba to be manually updated. Once we get the payment and the GL account number where to post those payments, I go into Kyriba under cash accounting, cash management, cash review.

When I receive the payment, I believe it is automatically uploaded to Kyriba from the bank. Once it is uploaded into Kyriba, we need to post those payments to the accounting that whatever department expects those funds for us to update into Kyriba. I go under Cash and Liquidity, Cash Accounting, and then review entries to be manually updated. I go under the GL entries to be manually updated, and all the payments needing updates will be under this specific spot. From there, I click on the payment and update the accounting screen where the payment needs to go. Once all the payments are cleared and updated from Kyriba, we will send the file to SAP. That is how I use Kyriba for reconciliation.

I also use Kyriba to approve the ICD, short-term debt, and to approve wires. Once the positioning team is done creating the wires in Kyriba, I have to go into Kyriba to approve those wires.

The best feature that Kyriba offers is easy reconciliation. On the positioning side, there is a way where if we have a negative balance, instead of just having the negative sign by the amount or balance, we now have the possibility to have it colored in red, which makes it easier on the eyes and attracts attention.

Kyriba has positively impacted my organization by making our work easier compared to the first software we were using. Before I joined the company, they used something called TWS, Treasury Web Service or Treasury Web System. From conversations with my peers, they think Kyriba is an upgrade that works better for them compared to TWS.

It has saved time. My peers feel like the previous system was time-consuming compared to Kyriba, which has been an upgrade and is working great for us.

Something I would like to see improved in Kyriba is that on the reconciliation side, we do get payments where someone might send us a ten thousand dollar payment and then want that split into forty-five different entries. That is a very manual process, so I would like Kyriba to give us an opportunity to upload an entire entry, such as on a spreadsheet, into Kyriba and have it auto-populate. We could just check to make sure nothing was captured wrongly and adjust whatever has been captured incorrectly. In my reconciliation time, I have seen many payments coming in where they want them split into multiple entries, which is time-consuming and can lead to errors. Having the capacity to automatically upload a spreadsheet with multiple breakouts would be very helpful.

I have been using Kyriba for the past two and a half years.

For the most part, Kyriba is stable. We have had some roadblocks along the way, but for the most part, it is stable.

Kyriba's scalability is good.

Customer support from Kyriba is absolutely great from what I have witnessed. Anytime we reach out, we do get our issues solved.

Before I joined the company, my department used a system called TWS, Treasury Web Service or Treasury Web System. According to my colleagues, it was time-consuming and pretty manual, so they think Kyriba is better, works better, and is an upgrade from that.

I would advise others looking into using Kyriba to give it a chance; if they have something to compare it with, that would be great. I would recommend Kyriba to anyone who would like to try it.

I attended Kyriba Live in Las Vegas, and it was a great experience. This is my second time attending Kyriba conferences, and each time I have learned something new. I have connected with other industry individuals and met our consultant and the people who worked with Xcel on the Kyriba implementation. It has been a great experience attending those conferences, and I am looking forward to the next ones. I am also looking forward to the implementation of trusted agency AI or similar AI into Kyriba and seeing how that could help us improve our work in the days ahead.

My overall rating for this review is nine.

Kyriba serves as my main use case through its APIs as a payment provider that I integrate with my Mule flow. We receive payment requests from Kyriba in our MuleSoft flow, convert that data through data transformation, and call third-party bank APIs such as HSBC, SCV, and Deutsche Bank. I connect Kyriba with our API, which integrates with nearly eight of the largest banks.

Kyriba has encryption and decryption formats for data in three to four different kinds of formats, which require conversion when we call that API. We perform the transformation according to those requirements before calling the bank API with the required payload using CAMT.052 and CAMT.053 JSON formats for statuses.

Kyriba offers excellent features, including its user-friendly UI as a payment provider. The feature where we receive payment requests with an inbuilt capability to retry in 30 minutes for the status makes the process straightforward.

Kyriba has positively impacted our organization by improving our client relationships. Our clients who use Kyriba expressed interest in connecting their platform from Kyriba to the bank. The improvement in our client relationship stems from the fact that customers using Kyriba for their payments can seamlessly connect their platform with ours, resulting in good customer reviews based on the ease provided by Kyriba's payment provisions.

Kyriba could be improved in the areas of connecting with multiple banks and managing various statuses. I noticed delays and had to wait for further details during these times, which could extend from two to five days.

I have been using Kyriba for nearly two years.

Kyriba's stability is sometimes affected by internal work, such as deployments or changes related to payment processes, which can lead to downtime that takes time to resolve.

Kyriba's scalability is strong, as it can handle growing workloads and more users with ease.

Kyriba's customer support is good, and I have had positive experiences when reaching out for help.

My advice for others looking into using Kyriba is to read the documentation properly since the integration part can be complex initially. Understanding the decryption and decomposition processes makes it easier. Discussing everything with your team before starting is also essential. I would rate this product a 7 out of 10.

Kyriba is used for cash forecasting, cash liquidity, banking connections, GL reconciliation, and cash accounting.

For liquidity, bank statements are received daily in electronic format within Kyriba from all banks across the country. Based on that, all bank flows are codified into budget codes, which makes these budget codes very useful for creating a cash liquidity position and comparing actuals versus forecasts.

Kyriba is used for GL reconciliations and bank reconciliations. Accounting transactions come from the ERP into Kyriba, and since bank transactions also come directly to Kyriba, the two can be reconciled and matched, speeding up all bank reconciliations that must be completed on a month-to-month basis during the accounting close.

Kyriba has positively impacted the organization by providing a view of all bank accounts around the world and helping to secure payments, as all payments now have double signature and there is an audit trail in the tool, allowing visibility into who signed what payments, which is excellent in terms of security and cash visibility. Kyriba gives a view of all liquidity across the world and enables financial decisions based on that.

Kyriba has helped the team by saving time. A few years ago, reconciling cash required going into every bank portal and attempting to do cash management through Excel, which took hours and was not precise or fully accurate. Now, bank transactions are received every morning, and the process can be automated with mapping rules, so it should take only thirty minutes every morning for the treasurer to do daily cash management.

Kyriba offers the best TMS on the market for cash liquidity, cash forecasting, net debt, and GL reconciliation. The ergonomics of the tool are excellent, and it is very easy to use.

Integrations with Kyriba are excellent, but regarding reporting, there is still a lot of work to do. Excel and PDF files can be exported from the tool, but Power BI is significantly better for reporting. Many companies export data to Excel from Kyriba and then create PowerPoint presentations and graphics outside of Kyriba, so if Kyriba could improve in terms of reporting, that would be beneficial and save considerable time for finance departments.

Regarding improvements, reporting and AI capabilities are priorities. Kyriba is developing some capabilities in this area, but having an AI agent within the tool to assist with analysis would be valuable.

Concerning customer support improvements, while there is the ability to escalate cases, it would be beneficial to have something more instantaneous. Rather than receiving an answer within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, receiving a faster answer would be ideal.

Kyriba has been used across three different companies for approximately eight years.

Kyriba is stable.

Kyriba's scalability is excellent, as it can be scaled very quickly if more licenses are purchased and implemented across all desired countries.

Customer support is excellent.

Prior to using Kyriba, the organization operated manually using Excel.

A return on investment has been realized in terms of time saved, as hundreds of hours have been saved with bank reconciliations, cash accounting, cash management, and cash forecasting.

The experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is very expensive, as the licenses are quite expensive. Regarding the setup cost, implementation is excellent and the team really knows what they are doing, but the only issue is that year over year, to renew the licenses, all these different types of licenses cause the costs to add up very quickly.

Before choosing Kyriba, an RFP was conducted with GIS Treasury.

My advice for others looking into using Kyriba would be to ask how many countries they want to use it for, how many bank accounts, and how many banks, as it only makes sense to implement Kyriba if you are part of a large organization. Kyriba is the best tool on the market right now, and I really recommend it. This review has been given a rating of nine out of ten.

My name is Hrushikesh Praveenand Thapar, and I am a Technology Specialist at Heineken Global Shared Services, Hyderabad, India.

I have been working with Kyriba since 2022 to the present date.

I initially implemented the payments module while I was at Deloitte. At Heineken, we are using Kyriba for bank statements and GL reconciliation and in intercompany loans.

The workflow involves another tool called SWIFT STM Broadridge, which acts as the SWIFT service bureau between the SWIFT network and the STM Broadridge tool. The payments flow via the ERP to STM to the bank portal via the SWIFT network, and the bank statements come from the bank to STM and then to Kyriba.

Kyriba is the balance builder. It does not directly copy the balances from the statements. Instead, it builds the final balances using the transactions that are in the statement. So even if the balance is sometimes wrong or something, there would be an issue. Kyriba acts as a balance builder, which is a great feature as far as the bank statements are concerned. Another great feature is the position across all accounts, which helps treasurers get an insight on the position across the operating companies and subsidiaries at a glance.

I would also highlight payments and the APIs. Apart from the SFTP and SWIFT service bureau, the API connectivity and the customizability and the ease of implementing Kyriba helps a lot in convincing clients about choosing the best TMS for their use case and also provides faster implementation timelines.

User experience is definitely a valuable feature. I have worked on SAP TRM, and the user experience is much simpler in terms of the end-user perspective in Kyriba, whether it is the payments module or the bank statement module. The daily tasks are straightforward and you have templates and easy insights into the daily tasks. If there is an error or if there are any rejected EBS, it is definitely easier to troubleshoot.

Treasury managers have better visibility to their idle cash. A glance overview of all accounts at one place is available without logging into each bank portal. This definitely provides better visibility and hence better use of the idle cash.

Reduced errors is another valuable feature. Going from Excel spreadsheets to Kyriba might be a bit of a hesitancy initially for the end-users, the people in the treasury front offices in the operating companies. However, once they get used to the tool, it has been very much handy and time-saving for the daily tasks.

There are a bit of glitches sometimes. Overall, it is pretty stable and it is cloud-based. I think it is pretty good as far as the tool is concerned compared to other treasury management systems. It is pretty stable and offers much more functionality.

There is room for improvement in terms of making the user experience better. If Kyriba can improve the user experience with a smoother interface, I think that would be enough. It is already smooth enough and there are monthly Windows patching as well that happens with improvements and upgrades. I think they are already doing this and the updates would follow.

I have been working with Kyriba since 2022 to the present date.

There are a bit of glitches sometimes. Overall, it is pretty stable and it is cloud-based. I think it is pretty good compared to other treasury management systems. It is pretty stable and offers much more functionality.

It is pretty much stable. There are no known glitches as of now. Even if there is any downtime, it is prescheduled and informed in advance.

It is pretty high. We definitely have many operating companies under it, so it is scalable. I would not say it is not scalable. Compared to SAP TRM, it might be a bit lesser, but it is definitely a much faster implementation than SAP TRM. It has its own benefits and is definitely scalable.

Customer support has been great. Kyriba's support portal is available and they have been pretty responsive, even after the implementation. Any query or knowledge question in terms of the tool or any functionality is handled pretty well by Kyriba support.

This was the first TMS that was implemented. It was chosen as the most suitable one after comparing across other treasury management systems.

The initial setup was pretty good.

We looked at the implementation timelines and the support. SAP TRM, G-Treasury, and FIS Quantum were other options we compared.

It is definitely not very cheap, but it is definitely useful once the end-user knows how to get the maximum value from the tool. The benefits might seem less in the near term, but in the long term, it definitely offers tangible and substantial benefits.

I would recommend comparing the functionalities and the implementation timelines, and then make your call. The results would definitely be in the favor of Kyriba, depending on your use case.

There is room for improvement in terms of making the user experience better. Nothing comes to mind as of now in terms of what they have not been pretty good about. If they can improve the user experience with a smoother interface, I think that would be enough. It is already smooth enough and there are monthly Windows patching as well that happens with improvements and upgrades. I think they are already doing this and the updates would follow. When considering Kyriba, setup cost should be discussed and long-term benefits should be considered. My overall review rating for Kyriba is eight.

My main use case for Kyriba includes cash forecasting, manual reconciliation, in-house banking, bank statements, reporting, and payment approvals.

We have an ERP named D365 which is linked to Kyriba and the bank, so when a payment is generated in D365, Microsoft AX Dynamic, the files are sent over to Kyriba for approval. In Kyriba, we approve those payments, which are then sent over to the banks. The payment sent yesterday comes to Kyriba in MT940 format where we can see all the transactions manually reconciled, and in each of the entities in the cash forecasting model, we can see what has been paid and what has been forecasted. We can also do the forecast for a longer period to determine in which accounts we need funds.

One of the best features Kyriba offers is that you do not have to log in to a banking portal; you can directly do the transfers from Kyriba itself if you have any internal transfers between your accounts.

The ability to do transfers directly from Kyriba has saved time and reduced the effort of taking approvals from an external party, creating a memo, creating the template in Citibank or any other bank, and obtaining additional levels of approval, since in Kyriba, I can create the payment and only one person can approve it.

This change has led to measurable improvements, such as faster payment processing and fewer mistakes.

Kyriba can be improved by allowing us to delete deactivated users or unused FX rates linked to something, as we cannot clean up the data in Kyriba.

Kyriba can improve its interface to make it more interactive or visually appealing, and it would be helpful to allow deletions of unused data that are not linked.

I have been using Kyriba for four years.

I chose a seven because of the interface and the support services we have with Kyriba, as sometimes payments get stuck during production or working hours, resulting in delays for vendors.

Kyriba's scalability is good; it can handle growing needs or more users easily.

Kyriba's customer support is good, though there were internal changes at Kyriba's support service where many people left, leading to a delay in some case resolutions; however, everything was eventually resolved.

I would rate the customer support a seven.

Regarding Kyriba's AI capabilities, I was introduced in a session to an upcoming AI feature that can monitor all cash flows, providing reports and identifying errors, but we have not implemented it as a function in our Kyriba yet.

Kyriba's AI will be a lot of help; it can boost the performance of new users who will not need to depend on senior staff to solve queries but can simply ask the AI and get started.

My advice for others looking into using Kyriba is that it is a good system for organizations that do not have large volumes and require a solution that handles everything, including reporting, user management, cash forecasting, payment module, FX, in-house banking, and beyond. I have rated this review a seven overall.

Kyriba is mainly used for cash reporting and payments at our organization. We use Kyriba to consolidate all our cash positions across the globe. From a payments perspective, we use it with SWIFT connectivity, so all the payments go through our own SWIFT BIC to the banks directly.

One of the best features that Kyriba offers is the fraud detection while making payments, which reduces the chances of duplication of payments and scams that might occur with payments going to a wrong bank account of the vendor.

The fraud detection feature catches duplicate payments and also catches errors where the name of the vendor in the bank's records and our accounts are different. It flags even if there is a small difference such as a space or a decimal point or a full stop between the names of the companies. This helps ensure that the vendor name and the account numbers are exactly matching as per the bank's record.

Apart from that, Kyriba has a very good dashboard which I can customize for cash reporting on a day-to-day basis.

Kyriba has saved a lot of time where teams were physically downloading bank statements and putting them into Excel, which was a time-consuming task. Now things are automated, and with a click of a button, I am able to see the global cash position within seconds.

I think Kyriba is pretty good in what they are. What they can maybe do is use more AI and improve the cash forecasting module which we have just started using to help better plan our cash flows going forward.

They already integrate with our ERP, and it is just that they need to use more predictive learning and AI to make these forecasts more accurate than what it currently is.

There is always a scope of improvement in any product. Kyriba is pretty good, but I think they still need to improve a bit more on the AI features of the cash forecasting, and maybe when it is done, then I will rate it 10 going forward.

I have been using Kyriba since 2023 in one of my previous organizations as well.

Kyriba is very stable for us so far.

Kyriba is scalable. We started with a few users and then implemented it across our other locations. So it has the scope of scaling as and when we need it.

Customer support has been good. They have teams across geographies, so the turnaround time for any issues is pretty quick, less than a day.

We did a lot of negotiations on the pricing and the licensing aspect, but that is something which happens in any RFP process for any vendor, not just Kyriba.

We evaluated all their competitors, which are FIS and G Treasury, Eon, mainly these three.

Kyriba has definitely saved time, and fewer employees needed aspect is also there. Money-wise, I think it takes two to three years to generate the full ROI on that investment, given the initial setup of implementation is a bit higher.

I would say at least a couple of hours every day is what the team was spending on cash reporting every day.

I would say Kyriba is a great product, but you need to see your organizational fitment for it. It is not a cheap product; it is expensive, so you need to have that kind of scale and volume to justify the cost of it. But once you start using it, it is one of the best treasury products I have come across in my career. I rate this product 9 out of 10.
