Company News
Citi and Coinbase have expanded their partnership to bridge traditional banking and digital payments. The collaboration introduces two initiatives: Coinbase Virtual Accounts, which uses Citi's Banking-as-a-Service infrastructure to provide bank-account-like functionality with automatic fiat-to-stablecoin conversion, and merchant stablecoin acceptance through Citi's Spring platform, powered by Coinbase Payments. The solutions allow businesses to operate between traditional and digital finance without building separate infrastructure. Merchants can accept payments from over 150 million stablecoin holders globally, with automatic conversion to fiat. Citi serves as the bank of record for settlements. Launching initially in the United States, the partnership aims to enable interoperability between fiat and digital payments. Citi moves approximately $6 trillion daily and banks 90% of top e-commerce companies and 15 of the world's 20 largest fintechs.
Citi, Mastercard and the FinTech Association of Hong Kong co-hosted their third annual fintech forum in Hong Kong, focusing on agentic AI in financial services. The event brought together regulators, financial industry leaders and fintech innovators to discuss responsible AI adoption across wealth management, banking and payments. A key highlight was Citi Sky, Citi Wealth's conversational AI platform developed using Google Cloud and Google DeepMind technologies. The platform serves as an always-on digital companion designed to help clients access market insights and engage with wealth advisors. Speakers included representatives from Citi, Mastercard, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Accenture, AlipayHK, Ant International, Google Cloud, Hong Kong Cyberport and NVIDIA. Discussions covered customer engagement, governance, cybersecurity and the future of work in an AI-driven financial landscape.
International Payments Identity has raised $16 million in Series A funding led by Foundation Capital, with participation from Citi, HSBC, and existing investors. The payment intelligence firm addresses insufficient payment verification as digital transactions accelerate globally. IPID highlights that information flow lags behind payment system advancements, leaving institutions uncertain about recipients. This verification gap increases fraud vulnerability, with losses projected to reach $331 billion by 2027. The company currently operates bank account verification across more than 50 countries and plans to expand into US payments and digital assets. The funding will strengthen its global network and improve payment decision-making capabilities for financial institutions.
