Citi’s award-winning electronic platform CitiDirect BE greatly supports institutional clients in the challenging times of COVID-19

In corporate banking, Citi’s award-winning electronic platform CitiDirect BE helped to ensure that institutional clients can continue to perform their core banking activities in a controlled, digital way during the challenging environment of COVID-19.

From 2019, Citi’s institutional clients in Vietnam could also use fingerprint or facial recognition to access Citi’s institutional banking platform on mobile. The bank has also recently launched CitiDirect Digital Onboarding (CDDO) in Vietnam, providing corporate clients with a digital channel for account opening and product implementation.

In consumer banking, Citi cardholders can request a doctor to visit their home via the app or conduct video chats with certified doctors around the clock via JioHealth.

Citi clients can digitally sign documents or alternatively, download, complete, scan, and upload documents, eliminating paper submission to Citi branches.

“During COVID-19, Citi Vietnam launched a series of digital measures to offer further assistance to retail and institutional customers. The bank’s priority is on supporting clients through this challenging period especially via digital. We are proud this progress was recognised and that Citi Vietnam received the prestigious Certificate from the prime minister on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the normalisation of relationship between Vietnam and the US,” said Ansell.

Citi was the first US financial institution licensed in Vietnam after the normalisation of relations between the two countries.
