Global Rollout of the Funds Transfer Pricing System

Volkswagen Financial Services AG (VW FS AG) is one of the largest financial services companies in the automotive sector. 

Results at a Glance

Volkswagen Financial Services, in collaboration with zeb, implemented an expanded funds transfer pricing model to consistently account for liquidity costs across the Group and enable uniform management across all national subsidiaries.

Global Rollout

Launch in pilot markets, followed by a group-wide rollout to other national subsidiaries.

Liquidity Costs

Explicit consideration of liquidity costs in the controlling framework.

Funds Transfer Pricing

Development and implementation of a group-wide, standardized FTP approach.

Software solution

Provision of a software tool for operational use.

Group-wide Management

Consistent implementation of processes and methods across all subsidiaries.

Background & Objectives 

The financial market crisis led to a sustained increase in liquidity costs. This created the challenge of systematically and consistently accounting for these costs in the national subsidiaries of Volkswagen Financial Services. The existing controlling framework was therefore expanded to explicitly account for liquidity costs.

The Solution: Concept Development and Pilot Implementation

In the first phase of the project, the methodological foundations of funds transfer pricing were defined, and a software tool was developed to support the implementation. In addition, pilot markets were selected and training materials were created.

 

Key elements

  • Methodological Design
  • Development of an FTP software tool
  • Selection of pilot markets
  • Preparation of training materials
  • Preparation for the international rollout

Rollout to the regional subsidiaries

Rollout and Implementation

After the concept phase was completed, the rollout was initially carried out in selected pilot markets. During this process, processes, organizational structure, data availability, and the IT landscape were analyzed, and areas requiring action were identified. Based on the insights gained, the rollout was then extended to other national subsidiaries.

Key areas

  • Analysis of the Current Situation
  • Gap Analysis and Identification of Action Items
  • Parameterization of Non-Interest-Bearing Positions
  • Employee Training
  • Further Rollout to 18 Subsidiaries
