Construction banking operations with real-time cash visibility, draw management, loan tracking, trust account compliance, and multi-entity treasury management.

Cash flow is the lifeblood of construction companies, yet most contractors lack real-time visibility into their cash positions. Money flows in from owners, flows out to subcontractors and suppliers, cycles through trust accounts, and moves between entities — often with timing mismatches that can threaten project viability. Bank Genius provides construction banking operations intelligence that gives contractors real-time control over their most critical financial asset.

Bank Genius delivers real-time cash position visibility across all accounts, draw request preparation and tracking, construction loan balance monitoring, trust account compliance management, multi-entity treasury consolidation, cash flow forecasting and projections, wire transfer and ACH management, and bank fee analysis and optimization. It is a treasury management platform built specifically for the cash flow patterns and regulatory requirements of construction.

The results are immediate and measurable. Bank Genius provides real-time cash visibility, processes draws 3 days faster, achieves 100% trust account compliance, and generates average annual fee savings of $180K. For construction companies managing multiple bank relationships across multiple entities, these capabilities transform treasury operations from a manual, spreadsheet-driven process into an automated, intelligent system.

Construction draw management is one of Bank Genius's most valuable capabilities. Preparing draw requests requires assembling supporting documentation — lien waivers, progress photos, schedule updates, and cost breakdowns — from multiple sources. Bank Genius automates this assembly, tracks lender approvals through the review process, and reconciles draw proceeds against project costs. The result is faster funding and fewer draw rejections.

Cash flow forecasting in Bank Genius goes beyond simple projections. The system models cash positions across all accounts and entities, incorporates contract payment terms, historical payment cycles, and known disbursement schedules to produce forecasts that enable proactive cash management. It can model scenarios — what happens if a major owner payment is delayed two weeks, or if a subcontractor requests early payment — giving treasury teams the intelligence to optimize timing of disbursements and collections.

Trust account management addresses one of the most regulated aspects of construction banking. Many states require contractors to maintain trust accounts for project funds, with strict rules about commingling and disbursement. Bank Genius maintains compliance with state trust fund statutes, tracks restricted funds by project, and generates required trust account reports automatically. Non-compliance with trust account regulations can result in personal liability for company officers — making this capability essential.

Bank Genius integrates with major banks, Sage 300, Viewpoint, CMiC, and treasury systems, and operates within the Procure to Pay workstream. It provides the financial visibility and control that construction companies need to manage cash flow confidently, even across complex multi-entity structures with dozens of active projects.
