Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--Clients have voted Citi the best overall provider of foreign exchange (FX) services for Asian corporates in 2008. Over 1000 clients voted in the annual poll, which was conducted between June and August this year and was organized by Asiamoney Magazine. The survey asked clients to rank FX providers by a combination of innovation, pricing and client service. Citi has retained the award from 2007, where clients also voted Citi number one.

Clients also voted Citi the best foreign FX provider for corporates in South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

"These awards are welcome recognition for the team's passion and commitment. I would also like to thank our clients who place their trust in us day in, day out, to handle their FX needs. Citi is honoured to receive this recognition from our clients," said Rodrigo Zorrilla, Co-head of Markets for Citi in Asia.

In the editorial write up that accompanied the awards, the editors of Asiamoney said "Citi's continued dominance is a testament to the bank's strength with its clients and its willingness to expand." A client response was also quoted in the editorial write up that said "Citi provides outstanding services and pricing, with timely answers and constant market updates."
