This was followed by the introduction of CitiDirect BE Tablet in 2013, which offers clear visualizations of liquidity positions and helps senior treasury executives in their decision-making process, by giving them an appealing and intuitive platform.
These award-winning services were conceptualized in 2011, when Citi undertook a market-leading effort to launch a full set of digital banking capabilities for institutional mobile and tablet devices. Using a nimble development model, the Citi Innovation Lab in Dublin, Ireland was able to transform Citi’s digital presence from online to mobile by providing clients with anytime, anywhere access.

CitiDirect BE Mobile’s ease of use reflects our ability to deliver best-in-class institutional banking solutions through strong client partnerships and focused execution across our in-house innovation labs as well as technology, operations, product, and relationship teams. As new technologies emerge, we look forward to continuing to deliver value-add innovation for our clients,” added Mike Whitaker, Global Head of Institutional Clients Group Operations & Technology at Citi.
