CNS Treasury vs Hedgebook

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.

Hedgebook is a cloud treasury management service for managing treasury risk and hedging decisions. Its corporate solution records and values FX forwards and options, commodities, and interest rate swaps. The FX Exposure Tool combines foreign-currency cash flow forecasts with existing forex hedges to display the hedging position, and it can model hypothetical FX scenarios for potential P&L impact and changes in hedge levels. A valuation tool provides independent mark-to-market or fair value valuations and sensitivity reporting. The corporate solution supports IAS 39, IFRS 9, CVA/DVA for IFRS 13, IFRS 7 calculations, and US GAAP. APIs connect it to third-party proprietary FX trading systems for exchanging deal and valuation information. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, the platform is accessed through a web browser and secure login. Hedgebook lists a free trial before purchase and a starting price of $250 a month per corporate licence. It says implementation is guaranteed within 24 hours and supports modern versions of most major browsers, but Microsoft Edge is not currently supported. Hedgebook was formed in 2011 and has offices in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
