ABOUT THIS EPISODE
APIs aren’t just a feature—they’re reshaping what lean treasury teams can accomplish and even influencing which banking partners they choose. In this AFP-filmed conversation, Joseph sits down with OneMain Financial’s VP, Managing Director, and Assistant Treasurer, Steven DeLutri, CTP, to explore how his team modernized treasury operations through API connectivity, strong data governance, and a tech-forward mindset. Steven shares how moving from Excel and 15 banking portals to fully automated, API-driven workflows gave his team half a day back every morning—unlocking more time for strategic, analytical, cross-functional work. They also discuss how the treasurer’s role is evolving, why bank technology now shapes RFP decisions, and how Steven’s rigorous approach to vendor evaluation has led to successful tech implementations like Trovata TMS.
Highlights:
- Why tech parity across banks is still lagging—and why it matters
- What to ask in a treasury tech or bank RFP (hint: don’t skip robust APIs for AI readiness)
- Why data governance is essential before adopting AI
- What makes a “tech-savvy treasurer”—and why that matters now
