Citi Is Now Live With a Trade Digitization Solution Integrating Supply Chain Solutions

Key Terms

straight-through processing financial

Straight-through processing is an automated workflow that completes financial transactions from start to finish without manual intervention, like a self-service checkout that scans, charges, and bags items automatically. It matters to investors because it reduces mistakes, speeds up settlement, lowers operating costs and counterparty risk, and helps firms scale their business more efficiently — all of which can improve profit margins and reliability.

purchase order financing financial

A short-term financing arrangement where a lender advances money to a seller based on a confirmed purchase order from a buyer, allowing the seller to buy materials, pay production costs, or ship goods before receiving payment. Think of it as a bridge loan paid against a customer’s order rather than the seller’s inventory or invoices. It matters to investors because it affects a company’s cash flow, ability to scale, reported working capital needs, and exposure to order or customer credit risk.

dynamic discounting financial

A payment arrangement where a buyer can pay a supplier's invoice earlier than the due date in exchange for a discount that changes depending on how soon payment is made. The discount rate is dynamic — larger savings for earlier payments and smaller savings as the invoice approaches its due date — like a sliding price for paying a bill faster. It matters to investors because it affects companies' cash flow, working capital needs, margins, and the financial health of both buyers and suppliers.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Citi has launched Citi Consolidate™, a new invoice processing solution powered by Infor, the Industry Cloud Complete company. Designed for buyers and their suppliers, Citi Consolidate™ streamlines and digitizes the invoice approval, purchase order, and payables processes, creating a fully end-to-end digital solution for clients leveraging Infor Nexus, Infor’s multi-enterprise supply chain business network.

Historically, invoice creation, reconciliation, and payment approvals were fragmented manual processes and could take weeks, leaving buyers without access to critical data and suppliers unable to access needed financing to support their operations. The new Citi Consolidate™ solution will help Citi’s corporate clients enhance straight-through processing, minimize invoice approval time, and accelerate access to working capital.

“Citi Consolidate demonstrates our relentless commitment to driving innovative solutions to help our clients advance their digital journeys,” said Adoniro Cestari, Global Head of Trade and Working Capital Solutions at Citi Services. “This new capability will help our clients realize their goal of eliminating paper processes, while also optimizing their working capital. At the same time, it will provide accessible and actionable data that our clients can use to help manage their businesses more efficiently.”

For buyers, Citi Consolidate™ provides:

• One-Stop Access to Data - A single, shared repository for purchase orders, invoices, and transportation documentation within a structured data environment.
• Process Automation and Acceleration - Automated document matching, invoice approval, and discrepancy resolution workflows streamline processes and compresses cycle times.
• Enhanced Cash Flow Visibility - Efficient order management and streamlined invoice approvals provide buyers with improved visibility, allowing for better cash flow management.
• Risk Mitigation – Since critical suppliers have more access to required financing, Citi Consolidate™ can help buyers to mitigate supplier risk, helping ensure their businesses have required inventory.

For suppliers, this new solution provides:

• Access to Needed Financing – Citi Consolidate™ accelerates invoice approval timeframes and provides suppliers with earlier access to financing.
• Improved Transparency – Suppliers gain visibility into the status of their invoice approvals and payments.
• Financing Flexibility – Suppliers can now access a wider array of finance solutions, including Purchase Order Financing, Deep-Tier Financing, and Dynamic Discounting.

“Infor has been bridging physical and financial supply chains for two decades and is excited to work with Citi, a global leader in Trade, to further automate customers’ trade flows across industry verticals,” said Gary Schneider, VP, Financial Services at Infor. “Infor Nexus’ network capability will help drive data management, leading to harmonized invoice processes and improved cash flow visibility, while Citi’s global network and advisory services optimize the use of capital across a company’s supply chain. Together, we will digitally transform an organization’s financial supply chain.”

Additionally, Citi recently commenced as a Financing Service Provider to Infor Nexus clients in the United States. With Citi acting as a Financing Service Provider on Infor Nexus, Citi clients will no longer have to juggle multiple platforms.

Citi Consolidate™ is currently available to Citi’s clients in the United States and Canada, with plans to expand to additional countries in 2026.
