Case Study: Ingredion achieves centralized Asia‑Pacific currency and risk management with Reval

Consolidating global currency and risk management processes in Asia Pacific

Ingredion Inc., a global ingredient solutions provider with more than 11,000 employees serving customers in over 100 countries, expanded its footprint significantly after acquiring National Starch and faced a fragmented Asia-Pacific operation with disparate banking systems and increased foreign-exchange exposure. The treasury team needed to decide between creating a centralized regional treasury in Singapore or adopting a systems-based approach to manage multi-country FX risk and operational complexity.

Ingredion chose a systems-first solution, integrating a multi-bank trading platform with Reval for currency risk management and Misys for settlement and confirmations, so trades automatically feed into risk and accounting systems with no manual intervention. The approach—centralized control through technology while training and empowering local teams—delivered a single bank/currency platform, automated accounting and confirmations, improved rates, faster processing, greater transparency and cross-border backup, and a scalable model for other countries.
