LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citi has been appointed as the global custody solutions provider for Mitsubishi UFJ Investor Services & Banking (Luxembourg) (MIBL).

The deal will result in the transfer of approximately $630 billion of assets onto Citi’s platform. As part of the deal, MIBL will white label Citi’s custody platform to provide instruction capabilities for securities, cash, and foreign exchange transactions, as well as the associated asset servicing to its clients.

“The platform and global service model we created for MIBL demonstrates our ability to deliver individualized solutions to our clients,” said Sanjiv Sawhney, Global Head of Custody and Fund Services at Citi.

“We were attracted to Citi’s unique technology and extensive global footprint,” said Yoshinobu Hirota, CEO of MIBL. “We are confident that Citi is the right partner to help us provide world-class service to our clients and achieve our future growth plans.”

Built on open architecture, it gives institutions access to custody infrastructure, technology, and expertise to create tailored solutions to meet their clients’ needs.

The new business mandate, whose platform implementation and asset migration are expected to be completed in early 2022, is an important milestone for Citi’s Securities Services business in Luxembourg.

“Luxembourg is a strategic market for our business,” added Pervaiz Panjwani, European Head of Custody and Fund Services at Citi. “This new partnership is a significant expansion of our local footprint and reaffirms our commitment to building a market leading business.”
