DACT - Dutch Association of Corporate Treasurers

What DACT - Dutch Association of Corporate Treasurers does

DACT (Dutch Association of Corporate Treasurers) is a Netherlands-based nonprofit professional membership association serving corporate treasurers and treasury professionals. Personal membership is priced at €200 per year (excluding VAT), with 800+ members as of 2025 growing from 720 in 2023 and 777 in 2024, an approximate 8% annual growth rate. Members span 54 countries with 79% of Dutch origin, and the demographic skews male (79%) with DEI prioritised on the agenda since 2022. The association's addressable user is an individual working in corporate treasury (cash management, liquidity, financial risk, financing) at multinationals, large or mid-sized enterprises, government, or non-profits.

The association's product surface is community-led rather than technology-led: the annual Treasury Fair (March) and DACT Academy (November) anchor the events calendar, complemented by the Mentoring Programme (~50 mentors), DACT Treasury Award (Accell Group 2024 winner; Airwallex, TenneT, Aalberts 2025 nominees), DACT Thesis Award (Karolina Poziemska 2025), the Talk to the Treasurer interview series, and the Treasury Trends Tracker biennial research initiative launched in 2025 with Rabobank and Orchard Finance. Delivery runs through dact.nl (website), my.dact.nl (member portal for registration, profile, event access), a jobs board (free for members, €200 for non-members), and IGTA e-Journal access.

The business model combines individual membership subscriptions (€200/year), per-transaction job posting fees for non-members (€200 each), and likely sponsorship and partnership revenue from a deep bench of core partners (ABN AMRO, Allen & Overy, Aon, Bloomberg, BNP Paribas, Clifford Chance, Deutsche Bank, Deloitte, EY, HSBC, ING, JPMorgan, Marsh, Orchard Finance, PwC, Rabobank as flagship, Société Générale, Zanders) plus executive search firms (Financial Assets, Treasurer Search). The association is headquartered in Almere (Transistorstraat 71-M), is governed by a Board chaired by Maaike Vermeulen, and is led by General Manager Helen Derksen following the January 2026 succession of Milena Babovic. No parent company, funding rounds, or financial disclosures are present.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• DGfK (Deutscher Verband für Corporate Treasurers): The German corporate treasury association serves a comparable professional membership role in the largest European treasury market. Comparable in scale, structure, and programming (events, certification, publications) to DACT.
• EACT (European Association of Corporate Treasurers): Pan-European federation of national treasury associations including DACT. EACT operates at the same professional membership model (advocacy, events, research) but at the European level, so it is the directly comparable supranational counterpart and potential collaborator/competitor for cross-border content.
• ACT (Association of Corporate Treasurers, UK): The UK-based Association of Corporate Treasurers is the most established national treasury association, offering membership, the MCT/CTCert qualification, events, and policy advocacy. It is the closest international analogue to DACT in scale, structure, and offering.
• AFTE (Association Française des Trésoriers d'Entreprise): The French corporate treasury association operates a similar member-driven model with events, training, and certification for French treasury professionals. Directly comparable in mission and structure to DACT.

Broad incumbents

• Association of Finance Professionals (AFP): US-based association for treasury, corporate finance, and AFP professionals offering certification (CTP), events, and research. Comparable in core mission (treasury professional development and certification) but with a much larger US-anchored scale.
• CFA Institute: Global investment professional association with a much larger membership (200k+). Comparable as a finance professional credentialing body (CFA charter) but operates in adjacent (investment) rather than overlapping corporate treasury space.
• EuroFinance (Event/Conference Organizer): Major commercial organiser of treasury conferences and research (a Reuters Events brand). Competes with the DACT Treasury Fair for treasury professional mindshare and partner sponsorship, though at a much larger international scale.
• IGTA (International Group of Treasury Associations): Global umbrella of national treasury associations that DACT belongs to. While not a directly competing membership body, it coordinates content (e-Journal) and knowledge exchange across member associations, including DACT.

Regional players

• NEOMA Alumni Treasury Club / Treasury unlimited: French-based treasury professional community affiliated with NEOMA Business School. Comparable as a treasury-focused professional network offering events and content, but with regional rather than national-association positioning.

Emerging players

• Treasury Coalition (Germany): German treasury networking platform with a more digital/community-led GTM versus DACT's traditional association model. Comparable in target audience (corporate treasury professionals) but newer and more technology-native.
