Citi Mobile Challenge is coming to Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) in search of ideas which can change the way we bank. They invite the best and the brightest talent to harness their APIs to bring their vision to life. You will retain the intellectual property for the solution you develop.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE?
1. Consumer solutions
Consumers demand a great service from their bank. How can you make what we offer even better? Solutions in this category should help us provide them with personalized, intuitive products and services that transform how they think about banking.
2. Business solutions
Develop the next big FinTech solution for Citi’s business clients. These clients range from small businesses to large corporations and include institutions, organizations and governments. We want to provide the financial technology tools and services to help these clients fuel progress in their industries.
APIs
The APIs made available through Citi® Mobile Challenge power some of Citi’s latest digital offerings and will give developers an opportunity to create apps and other innovations that could function with existing Citi technology. No customer data will be shared. Citi will also encourage developers to use APIs outside of Citi to support and add additional features to their innovations.
