In 2011, CitiFX Pro plans to launch in other key European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets. In addition, CitiFX Pro plans to introduce a new FIX-API solution which will provide state-of-the art technology to sophisticated clients. This service will be available to clients in May 2011.

"We have been extremely pleased with the response to CitiFX Pro among small- and mid-sized institutions as well as experienced individual traders," said Sanjay Madgavkar, Global Head of Margin Foreign Exchange Trading at Citi. "In order to meet growing demand from this important segment of the margin FX market, we are increasing our investment in the product, particularly in relation to technology. We expect our new API solution will offer market-leading, low-latency liquidity to active FX traders."

Since its launch in 2008 in the United States, CitiFX Pro has expanded to new markets including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore and other Asian markets and has become one of the leading platforms in targeted segments of the FX market.

CitiFX Pro offers highly competitive spreads starting from 1.2 pips in the EURUSD for individual clients and provides its users access to both CitiFX Strategy and Technical reports-both of which consistently rank at the top of the market polls. Its platform was named Best Retail Platform by Profit & Loss magazine for the past two years running. Citi will soon be the only major bank offering Margin FX in the United States.

"With CitiFX Pro, we believe we have the right platform to service this important client segment", said Jeff Feig, Citi's Global Head of G10 Foreign Exchange. "Our latest investment shows our commitment to this growing market and will ensure CitiFX Pro will offer its clients the highest standards of technology and liquidity."
