Citi Business Banking for Modern Funding

Citi provides business banking to companies ranging from startups to enterprises. Your Citi business accounts contain the transaction data that demonstrates your business health. Founderpath connects to this data to provide funding without the traditional loan application burden.

Transaction Data Replaces Paperwork

Traditional Citi business loans require extensive documentation and take weeks to process. Your Citi transaction history already contains the information lenders need.

What We Learn from Your Citi Transactions:

  • Revenue collection patterns and consistency
  • Operating expense levels and timing
  • Cash management practices
  • Growth trajectory signals
  • Financial stability indicators

This data is more current and complete than financial statements compiled months ago.
