Treasury departments are under increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency, make smarter and faster decisions, and mitigate risks. Within current settlement systems, they continue to face pain points with impacts to liquidity optimization and payment speeds. For example, payment systems have not kept up with the pace of growth in the global B2B and direct-to-consumer economy. Additionally, in trade, the operational processes for traditional instruments are still heavily paper-based and require a significant number of manual processes.

In response, Citi has developed Citi Token Services, a foundational part of delivering next generation treasury and trade services that are 100% digital, real-time, and always-on. In building Citi Token Services, Citi is achieving the critical triple play of value, feasibility, and viability.
