The story
Citi Brasil operates as the Brazilian arm of Citigroup, focused on institutional/corporate banking (Treasury and Trade Solutions, Commercial Cards, FX, Custody) after divesting its Brazilian retail banking business to Itaú Unibanco in 2016. The bank's embedded-finance angle sits in its Services franchise: Spring by Citi (embedded payments acceptance), CitiConnect APIs, and CitiFX Pulse — with a global BaaS narrative being publicly articulated by Will Artingstall.
