Treasury Vault
The Treasury Vault is a specialized entity residing under the broader Program entity. Acting both as a ledger and an underlying bank account, it is managed by your company for designated Programs. The primary role of the Treasury Vault is to support and enable key fund flows essential for the financial modules that form the Program.
Treasury Vaults function as bank accounts tailored for distinct programs. They can facilitate a variety of financial transactions based on the rules of the specific Program. Accessible mainly through Alviere’s Portal under the "Treasury Management" function, these vaults are generally restricted to users with Finance profiles.
With the exception of the Master FBO, each Vault type can be linked to specific Payment Methods for loading and withdrawing funds. Though typically these Payment Methods will be bank accounts operating via ACH, credit or debit cards can also be used.
