CONNEXOR Success Story: Citi

In its structured products business, Citi sought a robust and scalable way to efficiently disseminate point-of-trade information, executed levels, and observation schedules to their clients worldwide.

Citi is one of the world’s largest financial institutions, with operations in nearly 180 countries and on‑the‑ground presence in more than 90 markets. Within its structured‑products business, Citi looked for a robust, scalable approach to distributing point-of-trade data, executed levels, and observation schedules to its global client base.

To support this objective, Citi looked to leverage an established market infrastructure capable of scaling across geographies and asset classes, while maintaining high data quality and meeting demanding timelines.

The Solution

Building on its existing use of CONNEXOR for the distribution of electronic term sheets and event data, Citi expanded the platform’s role to include point-of-trade reporting. This enabled CONNEXOR to serve as a centralized distribution hub for executed levels and observation schedules within Citi’s structured products workflow. By consolidating these processes, Citi benefits from a streamlined and standardized approach to data dissemination.

For Citi, using CONNEXOR delivers:

Reliable, High‑Quality Data

CONNEXOR captures reference data electronically at the source and distributes it in a standardized, straight‑through format.

Ensured Consistency

Eliminating the need for repeated reconciliation across different systems.

Automation and Efficiency

Straight-through processing enables scalable data distribution without manual intervention.

Scalability and Global Reach

CONNEXOR supports Citi’s ability to distribute structured product data across its global network.

Business Impact

By integrating point-of-trade reporting into CONNEXOR, Citi was able to scale its data dissemination capabilities without adding operational complexity. The automated workflow supports timely and accurate delivery of information to clients, while freeing up front-office capacity for higher-value activities.

The partnership demonstrates how a global institution like Citi can leverage market infrastructure to enhance client service, improve operational efficiency, and support global scale, all while maintaining the highest standards of data quality.

CONNEXOR has proven to be the right partner for Citi at a global scale. The collaboration has delivered clear and measurable value by supporting automation and enhancing consistency and accuracy of data distribution. As a result, we estimate reducing around five hours of front-office work per week, optimizing and strengthening the timely dissemination of information to our clients.
