Worldwide banking service Citi recently introduced the "multi-currency notional pooling" capability into the Netherlands. Prior to this, the service was only available in London, catering to its multi-national clientele. Citi users are given the choice and convenient option of operating their finances with a minimal interest rate through multiple accounts held by Citibank Europe on a single net amount. This enables an efficient process at managing substantial operational advantages by immediately automating funding.
The CEO of Citibank Europe Zdenek Turek explains that "the launch of Multi-Currency Notional Pooling capability in our Netherlands branch is in line with Citi’s strategy to offer full cash management capabilities from our single EU bank that has a physical presence across 22 countries in Europe and offers connectivity to Citi’s global network.” This expansion allows global account holders to broaden their work according to their respective treasury settings.
