Mission Rock Residential Unlocks $1.7M in Treasury Optimization Without Changing Banks
Challenge
Mission Rock Residential was managing vendor negotiations internally but faced increasing costs and missed opportunities within treasury operations, particularly around bank fees, underperforming ECR rates, and idle cash balances not generating returns.
Approach
SIB conducted a detailed treasury analysis across KeyBank and US Bank using real-time pricing data and market insights to uncover non-competitive fees and underperforming rates.
- Identified 41 total service charges outside benchmark range across both banks
- Negotiated rate reductions and ECR increases
- Implemented hybrid interest-bearing accounts to monetize excess balances
- Partnered with KeyBank to deliver custom monthly reporting that aligns with property-level accounting needs
All improvements were achieved without changing banking relationships, preserving operational continuity.
Results
total savings
- $478K in annual bank fee reductions ($435K KeyBank, $43K US Bank)
- Additional $300K+ identified in upcoming interest income (second tranche)
- $504K in annual ECR benefit improvements
- Full implementation completed in ~2 months
- $450K+ in new annual interest income (first tranche)
These results demonstrate how treasury optimization can unlock significant, recurringvalue, especially for third-party property managers handling large pooled balances.
