According to the statement, thanks to the Citi Token service, corporate customers will be able to convert their deposits into digital tokens that can be sent instantly anywhere in the world.

Additionally, customers will not need to set up their own digital wallets and will instead be able to access the service through the bank’s existing systems.

Citigroup Global Services President Shahmir Khaliq said the following on the subject:

“Digital asset technologies have the potential to elevate the regulated financial system by applying new technologies to existing legal instruments and well-established regulatory frameworks.

The development of Citi Token Services is part of our journey to deliver real-time, always-on, next-generation transaction banking services to our institutional customers.

“This development goes hand in hand with our industry-leading work on the Regulated Liability Network to create interoperable digital asset solutions on a multi-bank basis.”
