Payoneer , the global financial technology company powering business growth across borders, announced a collaboration with Citi to launch real-time, blockchain-enabled treasury transfers via Citi® Token Services, the firm's tokenized liquidity and payment platform. This new capability enables Payoneer to transfer funds between its global accounts in participating branches and currencies with greater speed, automation and transparency.

This marks a major step in Payoneer's long-term commitment to modernizing its financial stack through thoughtful, purpose-driven innovation. The collaboration leverages Citi's blockchain-based solution to move money across Payoneer-owned accounts, helping to reduce reliance on traditional payment methods and delays caused by banking cut-off times, holidays and weekends. This builds on Payoneer's existing relationship with Citi to leverage the global bank's Banking as a Service and cross-border FX and payment capabilities.

"We're constantly looking for ways to simplify the complex world of cross-border payments," said Bea Ordonez, Chief Financial Officer, Payoneer. "Blockchain-based infrastructure is transforming how money moves globally and with Citi Token Services, we gain the ability to move money in real time across borders, delivering a faster, more efficient experience for our customers."
