European clients increasingly rely on mobile treasury tools, with payment volumes rising 25% in the first seven months of 2026

• Mobile treasury usage has reached mainstream adoption across Europe.
• Clients increasingly view security and convenience as complementary, not competing, priorities.
• Direct client feedback continues to guide enhancements to the CashPro® App.

LONDON and BARCELONA, Spain, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- European companies are increasingly turning to Bank of America's CashPro App to manage time-sensitive treasury tasks. In the first seven months of 2026, clients in the region used the app to approve more than €100 billion in payments, as transaction volume rose 25% and payment value increased 21%^[1].

The shift reflects how mobile access is becoming embedded in corporate treasury workflows, particularly for secure authentication and payment approvals. Bank of America has continued to expand the app's functionality and simplify its design so treasury teams can complete more tasks securely from a mobile device.

Mobile becomes the preferred way to access CashPro

CashPro mobile token, Bank of America's mobile authentication solution, replaces the need for a physical token. Together with biometrics, QR Sign-In and push authentication, it enables corporate treasury users to access CashPro and approve transactions securely from their mobile devices.

Across Europe, 74% of CashPro users now choose a CashPro mobile token as their preferred way to authenticate and access the platform, underscoring the growing role of the app in day-to-day treasury management.

"Mobile is an integral part of the daily treasury workflow, giving clients the flexibility to manage critical tasks securely wherever they are," said Matthew Davies, head of Global Payments Solutions EMEA at Bank of America. "The fact that 74% of CashPro users in Europe now choose the app as their preferred security token demonstrates how firmly mobile has become embedded in day-to-day treasury and cash management."

Client feedback shapes the payment approval experience

As clients conduct more business through the app, Bank of America recently enhanced the payment approval experience to provide greater visibility into payment details and make approvals more efficient.

The updates were informed by direct input from clients, including those who participate in the bank's CashPro Boards.

"Moving from a physical token to the CashPro App was a natural step for us," said Kunwarjit Singh Suri, EMEA Controller at F5 Limited and a member of the bank's UK CashPro Board. "It gives us the security we need while making it easier to review and approve transactions wherever we are. The new payment approval process is another nice touch making it easier for us to review and approve payments."

Extending secure mobile access

Bank of America is developing new digital identity verification capabilities for corporate administrators, building on the app's cybersecurity protections and patented integrated mobile token.

"Clients around the globe have embraced mobile and continue to ask us to expand what they can accomplish through the app," said Heath Bergman, CashPro App Product Executive at Bank of America. "Their feedback is helping shape our investment as we extend secure mobile access to more treasury workflows."

Die Einigung zwischen den USA und dem Iran auf ein Rahmenabkommen zur Beendigung des Iran-Kriegs sorgt in der Handelsschifffahrt für vorsichtige Erleichterung. Besonders im Fokus steht die Straße von Hormus, eine der wichtigsten Seepassagen für den weltweiten Öl- und Flüssiggas-Handel. Seit Beginn des Konflikts Ende Februar ist die Meerenge weitgehend blockiert, zahlreiche Handelsschiffe sitzen im Persischen Golf fest. Nun soll die Passage nach der geplanten Unterzeichnung des Abkommens wieder geöffnet werden.

US-Präsident Donald Trump kündigte an, dass die Straße von Hormus nach dem Abschluss der Vereinbarung wieder für den Verkehr freigegeben werden solle. Die Unterzeichnung ist für Freitag in Genf vorgesehen. Für die deutsche Handelsschifffahrt wäre dies ein entscheidender Schritt zur Normalisierung. „Die Signale aus den Gesprächen zwischen den USA und dem Iran machen auch der Schifffahrt Hoffnung“, sagte Martin Kröger, Hauptgeschäftsführer des Verbands Deutscher Reeder (VDR). Zugleich mahnte er, es müsse sich erst zeigen, ob die Passage dauerhaft sicher befahrbar sein werde. Man sei „vorsichtig optimistisch“.

Die Branche hat allen Grund, auf rasche Entspannung zu hoffen. Nach Angaben des VDR sitzen aktuell noch 46 Schiffe deutscher Reedereien mit rund 1.000 Seeleuten im Persischen Golf fest. Die Blockade der Meerenge trifft nicht nur die Reedereien, sondern bremst den globalen Energiehandel. Die UN-Sonderorganisation für Seeschifffahrt (IMO) begrüßte die Einigung ausdrücklich. Seit Ausbruch des Konflikts wurden der IMO zufolge 46 Angriffe auf Handelsschiffe in der Region bestätigt, bei denen 14 Seeleute ums Leben kamen.

Trotz der diplomatischen Fortschritte sehen Branchenverbände die Lage in der Region weiter kritisch. Der internationale Schifffahrtsverband Bimco bewertet die Sicherheitslage in der Straße von Hormus auch nach Bekanntwerden des Rahmenabkommens als instabil. Eine Durchfahrt bleibe sehr riskant, heißt es aus dem Verband. Für Reeder und Charterer stellt sich damit die Frage, wie schnell und in welchem Umfang sie ihre Routen wieder über die Meerenge führen können – oder ob Ausweichrouten zumindest mittelfristig bestehen bleiben müssen.

Für den Moment überwiegt in der Schifffahrt die Hoffnung, dass die geplante Vereinbarung in Genf die Voraussetzungen für eine nachhaltige Entspannung an einem der neuralgischsten Punkte des globalen Seehandels schafft. Ob und wie schnell sich die Zahl der festliegenden Schiffe reduziert und sich die Risikoeinschätzungen der Versicherer und Verbände anpassen, dürfte entscheidend dafür sein, wann sich der Verkehr durch die Straße von Hormus wieder weitgehend normalisiert.
