Funds Transfer Pricing A Complete Guide

You're under pressure. Stakeholders demand sharper insights. Executives question your ALM models. Risk teams want transparency. And you're expected to defend FTP frameworks without a single gap in logic - all while managing rising rates, regulatory scrutiny, and balance sheet volatility.

Sound familiar? You’re not behind. You’re just missing a structured way to master Funds Transfer Pricing - the core mechanism that drives profitability, risk alignment, and capital efficiency across every major financial institution.

Funds Transfer Pricing A Complete Guide is not another theoretical overview. It’s the definitive operational blueprint used by treasury analysts, ALM officers, and CFOs to build, validate, and defend robust FTP frameworks that withstand audits, drive accurate product pricing, and support strategic decision-making.

One associate at a Top 10 European bank used this guide to rebuild their FTP policy in under four weeks. The outcome? A 38% improvement in line-level P&L attribution accuracy, and formal recognition from Finance & Risk leadership. She moved from “data specialist” to “trusted advisor” at her next performance review.

This course bridges the gap between being uncertain and being indispensable. You’ll go from fragmented knowledge to delivering a fully documented, board-ready FTP framework - complete with methodology, governance controls, and transfer rate models - in under 30 days.

No guesswork. No outdated methods. Just a proven, step-by-step system that turns complexity into clarity.

Here’s how this course is structured to help you get there.

This Works Even If…

  • You’ve never built an FTP framework from scratch
  • Your institution uses legacy systems or outdated models
  • You’re transitioning from retail banking, risk, or finance into treasury
  • You’re not a quant but need to understand advanced transfer pricing mechanics
  • You work in a non-bank financial institution and need a tailored approach
This course was built for the real world - where data is messy, stakeholders are skeptical, and time is limited. Our graduates include assistant treasurers, ALM analysts, internal auditors, and transformation leads who’ve used this system to drive real change in organisations ranging from $2B credit unions to $2T global banks.

You don't need a PhD in finance. You need clarity, structure, and confidence. This course gives you all three.
