PROVIDENCE, RI — Citizens has been recognized by Global Finance as a Best Treasury and Cash Management Bank for 2026, earning top regional honors for cash management in both the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

In payments, Citizens continues to advance real-time capabilities that empower clients to transition seamlessly from traditional payment types to faster, more secure and more efficient options.

These innovations are complemented by solutions such as the Insured Deposits Program, which provides expanded FDIC coverage while maintaining full liquidity, and Citizens Edge™, a commercial card designed to help middle market companies scale with flexible spending, integrated expense management and enhanced security features. Citizens has made significant investments in its treasury management capabilities, including enhancements to its online cash management platform, accessOPTIMA™, which provides clients with a fully integrated, customizable experience across payments, reporting and information management. The bank has also expanded its accessLiquidity™ solution, giving clients a centralized, real-time view of liquidity positions and the ability to research and execute investment decisions directly.
