    GSCF Launches C4: Connected Capital Control Center

    Delivering Visibility and Control to Corporates, Banks & Asset Managers

    RELEASE DATE: 26 March, 2026, 9:00 am EDT   

    NEW YORK, March 26, 2026 – GSCF, a leading global provider of working capital solutions, today announced the launch of Connected Capital Control Center (C4) – a servicing platform designed to help banks, asset managers and enterprise corporates originate, manage and analyze working capital with greater visibility, control and confidence across multiple programs.

    Built to support GSCF’s Connected Capital ecosystem and the broader market landscape, C4 addresses a growing market need: organizations are deploying multiple working capital programs across regions, funders, insurers and service providers, yet lack a single source of truth to track exposure, liquidity, cost and risk across their entire portfolio of programs.

    C4 consolidates program data and workflows into one unified control layer for programs serviced by GSCF or external providers, enabling financial institutions and enterprises to scale working capital more efficiently while reducing operational friction and risk.

    “As working capital portfolios grow more complex, fragmented views and manual oversight aren’t sustainable,” said Doug Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of GSCF. “C4 brings portfolio-level clarity to enterprises and their funding partners – so decisions can be made with confidence, limits can be enforced proactively, and working capital can be deployed more strategically across the global ecosystem.”

    C4 for Enterprise Corporates: Advanced Intelligence for the Office of the CFO
    For global enterprises relying on multiple working capital programs across regions, funders and administrators to drive liquidity and fuel growth, C4 provides a single, aggregated view of all working capital activity to eliminate data silos and enable centralized oversight.
    Key capabilities for corporates include:

    • Aggregated Data Views: A single source of truth consolidating all working capital programs, regardless of funder or platform
    • Portfolio-Level Intelligence: Holistic visibility across regions, buyers, suppliers and counterparties to support CFO- and Treasurer-level decisioning
    • Cross-Funder Transparency: Clear insight into funding flows, utilization and pricing across multiple banks and capital partners
    • Global Operational Workflows: Standardized and automated processes designed for multi-region, multi-funder environments
    • Exposure and Concentration Management: Program- and portfolio-level analytics to identify risk, adjust limits and optimize capital allocation

    By unifying data and decisioning at the portfolio level, C4 allows enterprises to move beyond reactive reporting and manage working capital as a strategic asset.

    C4 for Banks: Scaling Working Capital with Confidence and Control
    For trade finance and structured working capital teams, C4 delivers real-time visibility and embedded controls across multi-program and multi-funder portfolios to enable faster origination, stronger governance and scalable growth.
    Key capabilities for banks include:

    • Portfolio-Level Visibility: A consolidated, real-time view of exposure across obligors, regions, insurers and structures
    • Built-In Limit Management: Embedded credit limits, concentration thresholds, alerts and automated “pause” mechanisms
    • Streamlined Accounts Receivable: Standardized AR processes that scale from simple programs to complex, insured structures
    • Co-Origination and Extended Capacity: A unique combination of servicing expertise and funding capabilities that expands balance-sheet flexibility

    C4 empowers banks to shift from a model of program-by-program oversight to true portfolio management, reducing blind spots while increasing confidence in the ability to grow with efficiency and discipline.

    A Control Center Built for Scale, Not Silos
    Unlike today’s working capital landscape that can be fragmented across operations, technology and data, C4 is designed as a portfolio-level control layer that integrates technology with GSCF’s world-class managed services. Backed by more than 30 years of experience operating complex working capital programs globally, GSCF embeds operational precision directly into the platform – allowing clients to offload complexity while fully retaining control.

    “C4 addresses the needs of banks and enterprises today while supporting their growth across multiple programs, partners and jurisdictions,” said Shannon Dolan, Chief Product Officer of GSCF. “By consolidating data, limits, workflows and decisioning into one control center, C4 will help teams act faster, reduce risk and continuously optimize working capital performance at scale.”

    “The evolution of working capital management is moving beyond process efficiency toward liquidity orchestration. As enterprises and their financial partners deploy programs across an increasingly complex ecosystem of funders, regions and structures, the demand for portfolio-level visibility and control is intensifying. C4 reflects where the market is heading – a unified control layer that enables CFOs and Treasurers to manage liquidity not just as an operational necessity, but as a driver of business performance and resilience,” said Senior Research Director, IDC Enterprise Applications, Kevin Permenter.

    Why Forward-Thinking Banks Are Partnering to Lead the Next Era of Working Capital Innovation

    The role of banks in working capital is evolving. No longer confined to traditional financing, future-proofed banks are stepping into a broader, more strategic role – one that positions them as key members of a Connected Capital ecosystem.

    This ecosystem isn’t just about funding. It’s about collaboration, technology and real-time liquidity, delivered through partnerships that extend the bank’s capabilities and deepen its relevance to corporate clients.

    One of the most transformative moves a bank can make today? Partnering with integrated working capital experts like GSCF to deliver innovative working capital solutions that go beyond the balance sheet.

    Why the Ecosystem Matters

    Corporate clients are navigating increasingly complex supply chains, volatile demand cycles and rising pressure to optimize cash. They need more than credit – they need capital connectivity across their supply chain.

    A Connected Capital ecosystem enables:

    • Real-time liquidity across the supply chain of suppliers and buyers
    • Multi-party collaboration between platforms, banks, asset managers, suppliers and buyers
    • Integrated data flows that drive smarter decisions, increase global visibility and reduce risk

    Banks that plug into this ecosystem become more than lenders – they become growth enablers.

    The GSCF Partnership: A Strategic Gateway

    GSCF’s servicing platform and alternative capital solutions are purpose-built for multi-funder, multi-jurisdictional working capital programs. By partnering with GSCF, banks can:

    • Extend their reach into structured receivables and payables
    • Accelerate deployment of working capital programs without building new infrastructure
    • Retain client relationships while offering off-balance sheet solutions that complement core banking products

    This partnership model allows banks to stay at the center of the client relationship while leveraging GSCF’s technology, Blackstone-backed funding and expertise to deliver scalable, flexible solutions.

    The Strategic Advantage for Banks

    By participating in a Connected Capital ecosystem, banks can:

    • Increase wallet share by addressing broader liquidity needs
    • Strengthen client retention through embedded, value-added services
    • Unlock new revenue streams from program structuring and servicing
    • Position themselves as innovators in a space traditionally dominated by FinTechs

    More importantly, they help their clients build resilient supply chains and free up trapped capital – all without compromising their own risk frameworks.

    Leading the Future of Working Capital

    The future belongs to banks that think beyond products and embrace a platform with complementary alternative capital solutions. By partnering with GSCF and participating in a Connected Capital ecosystem, banks can lead the next wave of innovation in working capital – delivering liquidity, agility and strategic value at scale.
