FundBank Europe, BNY Launch Liquidity Platform for Alternative Asset Managers

FundBank Europe, part of the FundBank Group, has partnered with BNY to deliver liquidity and cash management solutions to alternative investment fund managers, general partners, and private asset managers across private markets.

The partnership integrates FundBank’s banking and payment infrastructure with BNY’s LiquidityDirect platform, giving managers tools to centralize, safeguard, and optimize cash across fund structures, SPVs, and management companies. The offering is designed to help sponsors navigate growing complexity around capital flows, regulatory oversight, and operational governance as private markets scale.

Through the collaboration, managers will gain access to cash management capabilities spanning the fund lifecycle, including capital raising, deployment, distributions, and wind-downs. The platform is expected to enhance visibility into cash positions, support liquidity optimization, and provide reporting tools calibrated to governance and regulatory requirements.

“Alternative asset managers are increasingly looking for liquidity solutions that match the sophistication of their investment strategies,” said Kieran Dowling, Chief Business Development Officer at FundBank (Europe) S.A. “This strategic collaboration with BNY enables us to support clients with infrastructure that enhances control, efficiency, and transparency across complex fund structures.”

Clint Craft, Executive Platform Owner, Liquidity & Margin Platform at BNY, said the initiative aims to embed treasury thinking more deeply into private markets. “Together with FundBank, BNY is providing AIFMs and GPs with enhanced visibility, control, and efficiency, bringing treasury discipline and cash governance to the forefront of modern alternative investment operating models,” he said.
