Citi Latin America Wins Top Honors for Its Treasury & Trade Services

Miami, Fla. – Citi Latin America has won 10 awards in Global Finance's 2021 Best Trade Finance Provider and Best Treasury & Cash Management Banks and Providers awards. The awards recognize Citi's treasury and trade services and include "Outstanding Achievement in Treasury Operations During the COVID Pandemic in Latin America," a new award created in response to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the sector.

Citi was also named "Best Trade Finance Bank in Latin America," "Best Trade Finance Bank in Argentina," "Best Bank for Liquidity Management in Latin America," "Best Provider of Short-Term Investments/Money Markets Funds;" and "Best Overall Bank for Cash Management" in Bahamas, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Additionally, at a global level, Citi won "Best Global Bank for Liquidity Management," "Best Global Bank for Financial Institutions," and "Best Global Cash Pooling Solution."

"We have continued making strategic investments to digitize our solutions and streamline access to our clients, that includes investments into our digital platform, CitiDirect BE®, which has been essential to expand our solutions and services in Latin America," said Steve Donovan, Citi Latin America Treasury and Trade Solutions Head. "Three years ago, we set ourselves the challenge to become Latin America's digital bank by the end of 2020. This meant not simply digitizing the way that clients interact with us at the front end, but end-to-end, across the entire bank. This digital investment has been critical to supporting our clients effectively during both good and bad times."

The editorial review board of Global Finance selected the best banks and providers based on entries, a multi-tiered assessment process, as well as input from industry analysts, corporate executives, and technology.

Citi's long-term vision and significant investments in technology that have supported clients to pursue growth and competitive advantage have also helped them to adapt their business rapidly in response to the COVID-19 widespread across the world. In the last year, the use of Citi's digital connectivity solutions in Latin America grew by 47%.
