By modernising its technology infrastructure on Google Cloud, Citi will unlock the ability to offer improved digital products, streamline employee workflows, and run high-performance computing (HPC) and analytics platforms.

With Google Cloud, Citi will be able to fuel its generative AI initiatives related to developer toolkits, document processing, and digitisation capabilities to empower customer servicing teams.

“Citi is on a mission to modernise our infrastructure and increase our safety and soundness so that our businesses can continue to serve our clients with speed and agility,” said Tim Ryan, Head of Technology and Business Enablement for Citi. “Leveraging Google Cloud opens up a whole new frontier for us in how we can run applications with faster and more comprehensive outputs and provide our colleagues with the tools they need to deliver for our clients.”

“Our strategic partnership with Citi to continue to modernise its technology infrastructure and drive enterprise-wide innovation underscores Google Cloud’s commitment to helping the financial services industry transform with cloud and AI technology,” said Thomas Kurian, Google Cloud CEO. “By combining Citi’s deep banking and customer experience expertise with Google Cloud’s leading cloud and AI capabilities, we can deliver significant benefits to Citi’s clients and employees.”
