What Hellenic Association of Treasurers - Σύνδεσμος Ελλήνων Χρηματοοικονομολόγων does

The Hellenic Association of Treasurers (HAT) — Σύνδεσμος Ελλήνων Χρηματοοικονομολόγων — is a non-profit professional association headquartered in Athens, Greece, serving corporate treasury professionals, CFOs, and banking partners in Greece, Cyprus, and the Hellenic diaspora. Founded in 2021 around its first International Treasury Summit, HAT has grown an 18-person operation that runs the annual flagship HAT International Treasury Summit (now in its 6th edition, scheduled for October 2026 at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center), specialized working groups (e.g., Treasury Operations), the HAT Treasury Awards program, and a knowledge hub of newsletters, articles, and recorded webinars. Its core technology stack is built on a Wix.com-hosted website, Glueup for event and membership management, Microsoft Teams for webinars, and a Glueup-powered mobile app available on iOS and Android; the platform integrates with Google, Outlook, and Yahoo calendars.

HAT monetizes through three streams: recurring annual membership subscriptions from individual treasury professionals, transaction-based revenue from Summit tickets, exhibition fees, and sponsorships, and professional-services revenue via its partnership with the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT), which provides members discounted access to internationally recognized treasury qualifications (CertTF, CertT, AMCT, cash management). The association sources members through a hybrid go-to-market spanning LinkedIn, YouTube, email newsletters, the website, working groups, and the annual summit, and is supported by an extensive network of strategic alliances — ACT and EuroFinance at the flagship tier, and EACT, IGTA, Open Treasury, Digital Euro Association, University of Piraeus, and the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens at the core tier. Customer co-hosting arrangements include a 2026 Account-to-Account payments event with Eurobank, with named participants from D-Marin, OTE Group Treasury, Worldline, and Waterdrop.Governance is via an elected six-member Board of Directors, most recently refreshed at the General Assembly of 3 April 2026 under incoming President Iliana Angelakis.

Others

• EuroFinance: The organizer of the world's most influential annual treasury event (35th edition in 2026). EuroFinance is an HAT strategic partner but operates a different model—global B2B events and intelligence—rather than a national membership association, making it an adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor.
• International Group of Treasury Associations (IGTA): The global umbrella network of national treasury associations of which HAT is a member. IGTA connects HAT to peer associations worldwide and is comparable as a federated membership governance layer rather than a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Digital Euro Association (DEA): A Frankfurt-based think tank focused on CBDCs, stablecoins, and digital money that HAT partners with for digital-euro education. DEA is an emerging player with partial thematic overlap on next-generation payments and treasury infrastructure relevant to HAT's programming.

Broad incumbents

• Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT): The UK-headquartered chartered professional body for treasury and HAT's flagship qualification partner. ACT offers the global benchmark treasury credentials (CertTF, CertT, AMCT) and serves as the umbrella standards setter; HAT delivers the Greek-localized layer for ACT credentials and references.
• European Association of Corporate Treasurers (EACT): The pan-European umbrella organization for national treasury associations of which HAT is a member. EACT coordinates EU-level policy advocacy and cross-border treasury initiatives, providing the broader forum in which HAT's Greek members participate.
• Association of Finance Professionals (AFP): The largest US-based association for treasury and finance professionals, offering certifications (CTP, FP&A) and an annual conference. AFP is a useful comparable on scale, membership model, and certification economics for a professional treasury body.

Direct peers

• National Association of Corporate Treasurers (NACT): A US-based national membership association serving corporate treasurers, similar in scope and mission to HAT. NACT is a direct functional comparable for member services, peer networking, and educational programming targeting treasury professionals in a single national market.
