Citi Funds Transfer Pricing Application has been built and rolled out to execute Funds Transfer Pricing ("FTP") Policy globally across Citigroup and for all businesses. Fund Transfer Pricing is a key regulatory function and is very important in how Citi determines the internal transfer price when allocating funds between businesses and treasury. This FTP allocation adjusts the revenues/expenses of businesses for the costs/ benefits associated with funding and liquidity risks taken through asset and liability generation.

CitiFTP Application will consolidate the FTP process as a single stop solution to reflect funding costs flowing through a standardized, transparent, and consistent framework with robust oversight and governance.
