CNS Treasury

CNS Treasury is a web-based platform for corporate finance teams managing foreign exchange exposure and treasury risk. It tracks exposure, cover and policy performance in real time, and supports scenario analysis. For IFRS 9 workflows, the platform automates hedge documentation, effectiveness testing and month-end journal entries. It can capture trades through connections to banks including ANZ, ASB, Westpac, BNZ, CBA, NAB, Barclays, Citibank and Deutsche Bank; Bloomberg and 360T are also listed for trade capture. ERP connections can bring in exposures, send journals and reconcile accounts. A free FX dashboard provides live charts, news, an economic calendar, forward-rate benchmarks, trade simulation and forward curves, with exports to PDF and CSV. The full-platform trial is 90 days and requires no credit card. A separate free dashboard is for eligible businesses. CNS describes the service as a reporting and automation tool, not financial or hedging advice.

CNS Treasury combines FX monitoring, hedge-accounting workflows and bank or ERP connectivity for business finance teams. Its free dashboard offers market tools, while access to the full platform is described as a 90-day trial.

It suits finance teams, including importers and exporters, that need to monitor FX exposure or automate treasury workflows. The free dashboard is limited to eligible businesses.

Overview

CNS Treasury is a web-based treasury platform for corporate finance teams, particularly importers and exporters managing foreign-currency exposure. It is strongest for organizations that need exposure monitoring tied to hedge-accounting and connected-system workflows; teams seeking only general FX market information may not need its treasury focus.

Its main advantage is bringing FX monitoring, trade capture and IFRS 9 automation together, with a free market dashboard as a separate entry point. The dashboard is limited to eligible businesses, and the full platform is offered as a 90-day trial rather than an ongoing free tier.

Key features

Exposure monitoring and market tools

CNS tracks FX exposure, hedge cover and policy performance in real time, and supports scenario analysis and exposure forecasting. That makes it relevant to finance teams that need to compare positions with policy and consider potential scenarios. Trade execution is also supported, though the platform is described as a reporting and automation tool, not a source of financial or hedging advice.

The free FX Markets Dashboard includes live charts, news, an economic calendar, forward-rate benchmarks, trade simulation and forward curves. Its PDF graph and table exports and CSV tabular export are practical for retaining or sharing market views. It is a useful standalone option for eligible businesses that want market context, but it does not replace the full platform’s treasury workflows.

Hedge accounting and connectivity

For IFRS 9 workflows, CNS automates hedge documentation, effectiveness testing and month-end journal entries. That can reduce repetitive accounting work for teams already managing hedges, while organizations without hedge-accounting needs may find this depth unnecessary.

Trade capture connects with ANZ, ASB, Westpac, BNZ, CBA, NAB, Barclays, Citibank and Deutsche Bank, as well as Bloomberg and 360T. ERP connections can pull exposures, push journals and reconcile accounts. Exposure import also supports file uploads. These connections suit teams that want to link treasury activity with existing banking and finance systems, although the value depends on whether their counterparties and ERP workflows match the supported connections.

Security and support

The privacy policy describes encrypted transmission and storage, access controls, authentication and Azure monitoring. Primary hosting is in Sydney, with backups in Hong Kong. Users needing assistance can contact [email protected] through the help center.

Pricing

CNS Treasury uses a freemium model, with two free options but no published paid-platform price. The Full platform free trial costs nothing and provides 90 days of full-platform access with no credit card needed. It suits teams evaluating the complete treasury workflow, but the trial term means it is not a permanent free plan.

The Freemium Markets Dashboard costs nothing and includes the FX Markets Dashboard and pre-trade tools. It is restricted to eligible businesses, so it is not a general free tier; it also does not include the full platform’s hedge-accounting and ERP workflows. No paid-plan price is published, so ongoing full-platform access requires custom pricing.

Platforms

CNS Treasury is a cloud-deployed web platform. That makes it accessible through a browser, while teams looking specifically for a mobile app should consider another option.

Who it's for

CNS Treasury is best suited to corporate finance teams, including importers and exporters, that manage FX exposure and need linked trade capture, forecasting, hedge accounting or ERP workflows. The free dashboard can fit eligible businesses seeking FX market tools without adopting the broader platform. It is a weaker fit for individuals looking only for currency data, or organizations that need financial advice rather than reporting and automation.

Pros and cons

• Broad FX workflow coverage: Exposure monitoring, scenario analysis, forecasting and trade execution sit alongside automated IFRS 9 documentation, testing and journals.
• Useful connectivity: Named bank, Bloomberg and 360T connections, plus ERP links, can help teams connect trade capture and accounting work.
• Market dashboard exports: PDF and CSV exports give users ways to retain and share market views.
• Low-friction evaluation: The full platform has a 90-day trial with no credit card needed.
• Limited free access: The ongoing free dashboard is only for eligible businesses and does not provide the full treasury workflow.
• Web only: There is no listed mobile platform, which may not suit teams that require a dedicated mobile app.
• No advice function: Users must make their own financial and hedging decisions; CNS presents itself as a reporting and automation tool.

Alternatives

Kyriba is a paid option with Android, iOS, API and web platforms, making it worth considering when mobile access is a priority; its pricing is custom.

HedgePoint is another freemium web option. Its free plan covers 6 of 38 features, while Starter costs £2,500 a month with a 12-month minimum commitment and covers 14 of 38 features, so it is a more clearly tiered choice for buyers comparing defined feature counts.

Verdict

Choose CNS Treasury if your corporate finance team needs FX exposure management combined with hedge-accounting automation and bank or ERP connectivity. The 90-day full-platform trial and separate market dashboard offer useful ways to evaluate its fit. Look elsewhere if you need mobile access, a permanent free version of the full workflow, or financial and hedging advice rather than reporting and automation.
