Paying 3,400 carriers in 14 currencies without a treasury team

Cormorant Freight · Global · 1,200 employees · on Ledgerline since 2024

4 → 14 Carrier payout currencies
-0.9 pt FX cost per conversion
-88% Fuel-card reconciliation time

Four currencies, three intermediaries

Carrier payouts ran through three banking intermediaries, each adding margin. Carriers outside the four settlement currencies absorbed conversion costs that Cormorant had to rebate.

Balances where the carriers are

Cormorant now holds balances in 14 currencies and pays carriers on local rails at mid-market rates with the fee shown separately. Fuel cards for drivers carry per-vehicle limits that bind at authorization.

Treasury without a treasury

Sweep rules convert excess balances weekly, and statements per currency drop straight into the ERP. The two-person finance ops team runs payouts for 3,400 carriers without a dedicated treasury function.

“Carriers get paid in their own currency at a rate we can explain, and the fuel cards reconcile themselves. That combination did not exist in our RFP.”

Daniel Okafor — Head of Treasury Operations, Cormorant Freight
