Citi also tops the magazine's rankings in the following sub-categories in Central & Eastern Europe: Best Online Cash Management, Best Trade Finance Services, Best Web Site Design, and Best Information Security Initiatives.

It is the 10th year that world class experts have identified the most successful performers among financial institutions from all over the world based on, inter alia, breadth of product offerings, evidence of tangible benefits gained from Internet initiatives, and Web site design and functionality. Category winners, such as "best online cash management", were selected based on the relative strength and success of those Web products and services.
