Project Description

Bank-Grade Encryption

Facing stringent regulatory mandates and escalating threat vectors across public mobile communication networks, the client needed a flagship consumer banking application engineered with zero-compromise security.

Citi Solution architected a zero-trust mobile banking platform integrating biometric device authentication, hardware-backed tokenization, and end-to-end mutual TLS encryption with automated anomaly scoring.

The application provides seamless instant settlements while maintaining a 99.999% uptime track record, fully certified for SOC2 Type II, PCI-DSS, and Open Banking regulations.
