The treasury layer councils never had.
400+ UK councils carry over £100bn of debt between them. Treasury teams set the strategy, manage the rate exposure, and answer to members for every basis point. Until now they did it without a shared toolset, without live PWLB intelligence, and without training built for the actual job. PWLBtoday changes that.
Treasury management has been opaque for too long.
The picture wasn't shared.
Every council does this work in isolation — same questions, same rate moves, same restructuring decisions, no shared view of what the sector is actually doing. We surface it.
The data moved faster than the tools.
PWLB rates reset against intraday gilts; treasury teams had to wait for the official notice to know where they sit. Our Predictor closes that gap to the minute.
Training was sparse and pricey.
Most treasury officers learn on the job from whatever PDF was passed down. We're building the training the sector deserves — written for the actual decisions a council has to make.
LA treasury experts, driven by the sector.
We're experts who care about local-authority finance. Every part of this site exists to help the sector: transparency on what's happening, visibility into how others are acting, efficiency in the everyday work. Tailored only for LAs, everything in one place. Where we've got gaps, we're working to fill them.
Everything in one place — for local authorities only.
Every tool shares the same live PWLB and gilt data layer. Where we've got gaps, we're working to fill them.
Live PWLB rates across every tenor and profile, latest fix and next-fix prediction, recent activity, briefings. The page treasury opens every morning.
What the next PWLB fix will look like — every minute, calibrated to within ±1bp of the published rate via per-segment delay calibration on the gilt feed.
Courses for officers and members. Pathways through the work, interactive widgets, quizzes, certificates. Built to replace the PDF cascade.
Who's borrowing, how much, at what tenor, this week. Sector-wide activity rolled up and broken down so you can see who's moving and what they're using.
Market-implied path of Bank Rate, what the curve says about cuts and hikes, fix-vs-view calculator and the full MPC table.
The market-moving releases that matter for rates — MPC decisions, CPI, GDP, DMO operations and US data — laid out so you know what's coming up and what to brief members on.
Metrics, allocations and loan analysis across the sector. Compare your council against peers without leaving the page.
Model decisions on your loan book — early repayment, restructuring, profile changes — and see what each scenario costs or saves before you commit.
Treasury Management Strategy tailored to your council in a single conversation: five decisions, accessible draft for members, model TMS, glossary.
