Citi Integrates U.S. Institutional eCommerce Payments and Electronic Bill Presentment Platforms

Combined Solution Enhances Flexibility and Choice for Citi Clients and their Customers

Spring by Citi®, Citi’s digital payments service enabling ecommerce and B2B funds flows launched in the U.S. in 2020, has now been fully integrated with Citi® Present and Pay, Citi’s electronic bill presentment platform. The combined solution offers comprehensive digital payment acceptance and electronic bill presentment in one integrated platform.

With the new solution, Citi’s institutional clients will now have the ability to both collect payments across a full range of U.S. payment methods and provide world-class digital billing capabilities through a single contracting structure with Citi and a single technical integration, helping them save time and streamlining implementation. Previously, support for all relevant payment methods would have required a connection to an external third party – this comprehensive solution now makes it possible for payment acceptance all in one single contracting structure with Citi.

“For many companies, the ability to offer their customers a fully digital billing experience can be very complex; requiring various third parties, and it is often expensive to migrate away from using manual, time-intensive paper-based processes,” said Anupam Sinha, North America Payments and Receivables Head, Citi Treasury and Trade Solutions. "This new combined solution gives our clients an easier way to digitize their invoice presentment and payment processes, providing additional payment options to their customers.”

The combined solution helps institutional clients simplify access to the following services through a single contracting structure and technical integration:

  • More options for their customers to pay from a wide range of U.S. payment methods, including credit and debit cards, ACH direct debit and real-time Requests for Payment, and alternative payment methods such as digital wallets
  • Ability for their customers to receive and pay their bills via a variety of methods, including web/mobile web, secure email, SMS text and voice (automated IVR and live customer service)
  • Ability to validate payer bank account details in real-time to help ensure compliance with NACHA related to ACH direct debits without needing an additional technical integration with another third party

"As a trusted treasury bank to leading enterprises, we are always looking for ways to make it easier for our clients to use our solutions and we are constantly innovating to help reduce friction for them," continued Sinha. “The integration of Spring by Citi with Citi Present and Pay is one of several initiatives targeted at helping institutional billers address pain points associated with accepting digital payments.”
