PROVIDENCE, RIGlobal Finance has selected Citizens Bank as the Best Treasury and Cash Management Bank in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions for the second year in a row. 

Winners were selected based on criteria such as customer service, product innovation, competitive pricing and the extent to which they successfully differentiate themselves from their competitors. 

Citizens continues to make significant investments in its Treasury Solutions offerings to clients and this year will roll out its new commercial online banking platform —accessOPTIMATM— an easy to navigate suite of tools that can help improve efficiency and productivity by simplifying daily cash flow processes and deliverables.
