Get a Clear Picture of What You Pay and What You Should Be Paying
Bank billing is complex. Statements are dense. Terminology is inconsistent across banks. Most corporate treasury teams manage multiple banking partners without a reliable external reference point for any of them. Without that data, it is difficult to know whether your fees are in line with the market or whether they have quietly increased since your last review.
Redbridge brings 25 years of bank fee data across hundreds of corporate clients and thousands of bank relationships to every engagement. That data informs every recommendation and gives your team a clear foundation for every conversation with your banks.
Full Audit
Starting with just one to three months of data, Redbridge maps every fee, account, and service line against what your company actually uses.
Market Benchmarking
Your fees measured against real pricing data across banks, service categories, and peer companies in your industry.
Negotiation Support
Redbridge leads or supports discussions with your banks, backed by data from 25 years of client engagements.

Statement Analysis
Redbridge starts with banking data found in your statements. That data (sourced with minimum effort needed from your treasury department) gives our analyst team what is needed to map the services you use, the rates you pay, and how your fees compare to the market. After our team builds a dashboard, our clients receive a view of their bank fees and relationships they have never seen before. Your team’s only contribution at the start is a recent set of statements.
Fee Mapping
Centralize and standardize billing data across all banks, accounts, countries, and currencies. Identify every service category in use and what it actually costs your organization.
Service Utilization Review
Separate the services your team genuinely uses from legacy setups and duplicates. The average Redbridge client manages more than 250 service line items per bank. Most have never been formally reviewed against current business need.
Benchmark Against the Market
25 Years of Bank Fee Data Comes with Every Project
Proprietary Database
Redbridge benchmarks every service line item against a global pricing database built from engagements with European and US corporate treasury teams across 25 years and multiple rate environments.
Peer Comparison
See where your fees fall relative to companies of comparable size, structure, and banking complexity. Pricing that feels standard is often above what peer companies are paying.
Rate Change Context
Fee structures change regularly, sometimes in response to market conditions and sometimes simply because no contract is in place to prevent it. Redbridge gives your team the context to understand what is driving a change and whether a conversation makes sense.
Negotiate From a Position of Strength
Redbridge Does the Work. Your Team Captures the Savings.
Structured Bank Discussions
Redbridge organizes and supports your conversations with banking partners, whether through a formal proposal process or direct discussions. The goal is always a constructive outcome that works for both sides. Most clients retain their existing banking partners and see no disruption to other services.
Minimal Internal Effort
From the moment you send your first statements, Redbridge handles the analysis, the framing, and the follow-through so the project does not consume your team’s bandwidth. Most clients spend a few hours total across the full engagement.
Lasting Structure
Good pricing needs a contractual foundation to hold over time. Redbridge helps clients establish the framework that keeps terms in place well beyond the initial engagement.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Bank Fee Optimization
This section answers the most common questions the Redbridge team hears about bank fee optimization. Click on any question below to read the full response.
Why are my bank fees so high?
Bank fees are usually based on rates your company agreed to years ago, often without a current benchmark in place. Fees that are above market tend to stay there until someone has the data to raise the question.
What makes Redbridge different from a software tool?
Software can show you what you are paying. Redbridge tells you whether that number is right and works with you to change it. The financial outcome comes from the benchmark data and the negotiation work, not the reporting.
How much in savings should we expect?
Every engagement is different, and Redbridge will not quote a number before reviewing your statements. Most clients find meaningful overcharges in the audit phase alone, before any bank conversation begins.
How do I know if my company is a good fit?
The most common fit is a company with multiple banking partners and fees that have not been formally reviewed in the past few years. If your team does not have a current market benchmark for what you are paying, that is usually a good reason to start.
How does Redbridge get paid?
Redbridge charges a fixed professional fee per engagement. Our compensation has no connection to the size of your savings, which keeps our recommendations focused entirely on what is right for your organization.
What happens after the engagement?
Redbridge delivers a documented pricing framework your team can reference to track future fee changes and hold banks to agreed terms. Clients with HawkeyeBSB can monitor billing compliance on an ongoing basis.
