How cash pooling works

Cash pooling is a way for a group of related companies to manage their bank balances together. Instead of one company sitting on spare cash while another pays for an overdraft, the balances are combined or offset. In physical pooling money is actually moved into one main account; in notional pooling it stays put and interest is worked out as if the balances were combined.

What to check first

Moving cash between companies can create intercompany loans, which may have tax effects. Some countries restrict how money can move across borders, directors of each company still have duties to their own company, and not every bank offers notional pooling in every country.
