What is Pay-on-Behalf-Of (POBO)?
POBO allows an authorised business or central treasury function to execute payments on behalf of its legal entity or affiliated entities through centralised infrastructure. The model is commonly used for supplier payments, payroll, expenses, and cross-border settlements.
Centralisation can improve cash visibility, standardise approvals, reduce operational complexity, and maintain a complete audit trail while preserving the identity of the underlying business.
