Cvent Announces Global Strategic Alliance with Citi Commercial Cards
Cvent,
Inc., a market leader in meetings, events and hospitality
technology, today announced a strategic alliance with Citi®, the largest
global issuer of self-owned and managed corporate cards, servicing more
than 100 countries. By leveraging Citi's global network and leadership
in Commercial Cards, this alliance offers Cvent (News - Alert) users and Citi clients a
simplified payment path to quickly and easily settle any Meetings &
Events (M&E) expense - with a Citi payment product - all without ever
leaving the Cvent event management platform.
Through this global alliance, Cvent's event management software will
also integrate with Citi's Virtual Card Account functionality to allow
joint clients the ability to request a Citi Virtual Card Number for
payment directly through Cvent's platform. When meetings-related
expenses can be made from the same tool where the expense is sourced,
budgeted, and invoiced, the end-to-end meetings payment process will be
more accurate, ultimately resulting in less time and labor spent
consolidating M&E expenses.
"We are pleased to join forces with a global provider that is equally
committed to delivering a best-in-class solution for their customers,"
said Gonca Latif-Schmitt, Global Head of Citi® Commercial Cards. "We
believe this integration between Citi and Cvent will make the payments
process more efficient for our clients and, will facilitate the use of
our Citi Meeting Card and Virtual Card Accounts as the payment of choice
for all Meetings and Events spend."
The Cvent and Citi integration was recognized with a 2018 Treasury Today
Adam Smith Award. The awards highlight achievement in corporate treasury
and are well-known across the industry.
"By joining our technologies together, we are able to provide both Cvent
and Citi customers a more streamlined approach to online payments," said
Patrick Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at Cvent. "This alliance enables
organizations to manage all of their meetings and events activities,
from planning to payment, in one place. Earning the Adam Smith award
reinforces the strength of our combined solution and valdates our
mission to work with enterprises as true strategic business partners."
