Citi Achieves 2025 Celent Model Bank Award for Transforming Client Connectivity
Citi’s Developer Portal platform wins award for Enabling Effortless Multi-Channel Corporate Integration
NEW YORK – Citi’s Developer Portal, its market leading self-service platform, won the 2025 Celent Model Bank Award for Enabling Effortless Multi-Channel Corporate Integration. The Developer Portal was created to meet the growing demand for real-time, automated treasury solutions, enabling seamless implementation of services by facilitating direct connectivity to Citi systems.
Citi revamped the Citi Developer Portal last year. The integrated self-service platform enables Citi’s corporate, financial institution and commercial clients to more seamlessly connect with Citi’s portfolio of products and services digitally, including instant payments, virtual cards and real-time balance visibility.
We’re honored to be recognized for our Developer Portal – a testament to Citi’s commitment to innovation and delivering world-class, client-centric solutions. At Citi, we continuously evolve to meet our clients’ needs, and this award reflects the strength of our platform in helping clients access the full breadth of Citi’s self-service capabilities with speed simplicity, and seamless connectivity.”
Citi has empowered clients and partners to directly integrate with Citi’s comprehensive suite of products and services, transforming a traditionally fragmented and manual integration process into a centralized, automated, and client-centric ecosystem—one of the first of its kind in corporate banking.
By combining self-service design, embedded certificate provisioning, pre-built integrations, and a solution-oriented marketplace, the portal sets a standard for enterprise API platforms in the financial industry. The Developer Portal works with client systems to help them process their vendor payments for exchange of data, including account balances, and many other transactional purposes.
Citi’s innovations demonstrate the bank’s commitment to delivering world-class developer experience while helping clients accelerate time-to-value with scalable, secure, and user-friendly integration options.
