Cash Management
Corporate Accounts Services
World-class corporate banking at your finger tips! As thousands of our Corporate Customers have experienced across the world, Citi delivers to you the key to your operating efficiency: your Company's Operating Account with Citi.
Through your single window interface with Citi you can open current accounts in Moscow or St. Petersburg, on-shore or off-shore, in Russian Rubles, US Dollars, Euros or other foreign currencies (as long as they subscribe to the local and international currency regulations).
Account statements on all your accounts opened with ZAO Citibank in Russia and Citibank N.A. global network in over 100 countries are available electronically in a uniform format through CitiDirect Online Banking.
Electronic Payments & Collections
ZAO Citibank is a direct member of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) and Sberbank clearing and uses these systems for domestic ruble settlements, while Citibank N.A. global network and other international standards such as SWIFT are used for foreign currency settlements. All local currency payments initiated by our customers are transmitted electronically to the CBR clearing system.
To manage your day-to-day payables in a flexible and efficient way, we offer you our Extended Cut-off Time service. For a nominal fee you can use this service to extend initiation of same-day Ruble payments by up to two hours beyond standard cut-off times for CBR clearing.
Payments in any foreign currency can be initiated from a current foreign currency account opened with ZAO Citibank, so your foreign currency account can be considered as a multi-currency one.
