Delivering firm-wide, cross–border payment

control and visibility

Challenge:

Our client with a small Treasury team and a

Shared Service Centre (SSC) wanted to pay suppliers and

vendors globally, limit the number of accounts and use

existing connectivity. Automation and transparent FX

were important.

Solution:

WorldLink allowed the client to make

payments in multiple currencies and payment types

through its existing connectivity channel, with agreed

FX spreads and integrated FX conversion.

Benefits

• Streamlined payment processes and rationalised

bank accounts

• Extra capacity to Treasury team

• Large volume of payments facilitated through SSC

• Easy expansion of payments to new countries

Guaranteeing customer pricing to help

increase sales and earn new revenue

Challenge:

Our client needed to offer an online local

currency purchasing experience to its customers

without incurring any added FX risk and earn

incremental revenue in the process.

Solution:

We provided guaranteed rates for the client

to price goods online for a 24-hour period. The client

only had to return one file for all transactions at the end

of the period. Proceeds would be converted from local

currency to the functional currency of the client.

Benefits

• Protected margin on thousands of micro-transactions and

low infrastructure costs

• Currency risk mitigation while allowing customers to pay

in their local currency

• Incremental FX revenue stream as the client added

additional markup to Citi’s competitive rates
