LSEG and Citi Deepen Strategic Ties With Enterprise Data and Analytics Agreement
LSEG and Citi have announced a multi-year strategic partnership that will view LSEG deploy its data, analytics, and workflow answers across Citi at enterprise scale. The agreement is designed to strengthen Citi’s core data foundations, support its broader modernisation programme, and enhance the quality, consistency, and speed of client delivery across the bank.
Under the arrangement, LSEG’s data and analytics will be embedded into Citi’s front-to-back workflows spanning markets, investment banking, wealth, trading, risk, finance, and compliance. By consolidating data access and standardising governance, entitlements, and usage rights, Citi aims to reduce fragmentation and enable more consistent data-driven decision-making across business lines.
The partnership reflects the growing importance of treating as strategic infrastructure rather than point answers. For global banks like Citi, aligning models has become a prerequisite for scaling client service, managing risk, and deploying advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence.
AI-Ready, Multi-Asset Intelligence Embedded Into Daily Workflows
As part of the agreement, LSEG will provide Citi with AI-ready content and multi-asset class data covering economic indicators, pricing and market data, company and reference data, , fund and Lipper data, deals data, commodities, news, and regulatory and risk intelligence. This curated dataset is intended to support clearer insights and more informed client conversations across Citi’s global franchise.
The partnership also gives Citi access to LSEG’s end-to-end workflow answers, led by LSEG Workspace, alongside . These capabilities will be complemented by multi-channel delivery of real-time and historical pricing, investment and advisory content, wealth and trading feeds, FX and purchase-side trading functionality, and professional services.
David Livingstone, Citi’s Chief Client Officer, said: “High-quality data underpins how we deliver for clients. This partnership with LSEG gives our teams a comprehensive, trusted base of intelligence that spans Citi’s franchise, strengthening how we design products, advise clients, and execute on their behalf. By integrating LSEG’s data and analytics directly into our workflows, we can deliver sharper insights, quicker responses, and a more consistent client experience.”
Governance, Risk and Compliance Central to the Agreement
Beyond front-office and advisory use cases, the partnership places strong emphasis on governance, risk, and compliance. By integrating LSEG’s World-Check risk-intelligence data, Citi aims to strengthen the consistency, auditability, and coverage of its KYC, onboarding, and ongoing monitoring processes across markets.
Ron Lefferts, Co-Head of Data & Analytics at LSEG, said: “We are proud to deepen our relationship with Citi through this long-term agreement. Our focus is on delivering trusted, multi-asset class content and workflow answers that function as strategic infrastructure. By combining AI-ready content, cloud-native analytics and integrated workflow tools such as LSEG Workspace, we are supporting Citi’s modernisation agenda while strengthening governance, compliance.”
Together, the capabilities are expected to support a broad range of internal and client-facing activities, from portfolio construction, index-linked product design, and wealth advisory, to treasury operations, trading decisions, investment banking origination, risk management, and regulatory reporting. The agreement underscores LSEG’s role as a strategic data and analytics partner to global financial institutions viewking to modernise infrastructure and unlock new sources of growth.
