CNS Treasury vs Forge aHedge

CNS Treasury is a web-based SaaS platform for managing foreign exchange exposure and treasury risk, primarily for corporate and institutional users. It tracks exposure, cover and policy performance in real time and supports scenario analysis. For IFRS 9 workflows, it automates hedge documentation, effectiveness testing and month-end journal entries. Bank connectivity captures trades from ANZ, ASB, Westpac, BNZ, CBA, NAB, Barclays, Citibank and Deutsche Bank; Bloomberg and 360T are also named as connected trade-capture platforms. CNS says it connects to ERP systems to retrieve exposures, send journals and reconcile accounts. Its free FX dashboard offers live charts, news, an economic calendar, forward-rate benchmarks, trade simulation and forward curves, with graph and table export to PDF and tabular export to CSV. The full-platform trial lasts 90 days and does not require a credit card; the free dashboard is for eligible businesses. The privacy policy describes encrypted transmission and storage, access controls and authentication. Primary hosting is in Sydney, with backups in Hong Kong. CNS describes its service as a reporting and automation tool, not financial or hedging advice.
