London – Citi has been awarded the Best Global Bank for Liquidity Management award by Global Finance magazine. The publication also named Citi's Cash Pooling solution as best in the world, as well as recognized Citi in a number of regional awards in Liquidity and Cash Management.

Joseph D.

In addition, the innovative way in which Citi Cross-Currency Sweeps combines cash concentration sweep capabilities with an automated currency conversion, is greatly positioned to help treasurers reduce their FX risk exposure, across their global banking structure."

We continue to ensure we are creating innovative solutions to help solve our client's pain points, enabling them to grow in this ever-changing real time world.
