This new enhancement continues Citi's commitment to a superior client experience for connectivity and integration - and enables Citi's institutional e-banking platform, CitiDirect Banking Evolution (BE) to accept ISO XML files - a true global EDI standard that improves integration with many ERP systems and treasury workstations to deliver payment instructions.
Delivering an additional connectivity option to CitiConnect, Citi's premier connectivity solution, this enhancement provides clients with the flexibility to choose the right delivery channel based on their integration needs and system capabilities. "We are extremely pleased to offer this enhanced capability to clients," said Hubert JP Jolly, Global Head of Channel and Enterprises Services at Citi's Treasury and Trade Solutions. "It offers the interoperability and a choice that clients want and need, helping them gain more efficiencies and ease of use."
"The option to use CitiDirect BE File Import to upload our ISO XML files has helped us to accelerate our project with Citi." said Giancarlo Cicuttini, Treasurer at Brembo Group. "This allowed us to best leverage the existing capabilities of our payments system without having to create a new host-2-host interface to Citi."
