By Matt Baer, Senior Associate for Public Sector Innovation at Living Cities and Rodrick Miller, President & CEO of Ascendant Global June 19, 2018 04:00 PM
Americans love entrepreneurs.
Politicians of both parties routinely call small businesses “the backbone of our economy.” Plenty of well-known books and movies profile owners of both real-life and fictional companies; on popular TV shows like "Shark Tank," aspiring entrepreneurs compete for money from successful investors. Countless podcasts, master classes and inspirational online talks have been devoted to small businesses and the self-starters who run them.

Banking Beyond the Bank at Citi
By Gavin Michael, Head of Technology, Citi Global Consumer Bank June 08, 2018 02:30 PM
In our quest to become our customers’ always-on life partner, we are looking to deliver an experience that is simpler, better, faster and consistently excellent across channels. For example, at Citi we launched our first-ever voice capability for iPhone users last month. Customers with Touch or Face ID enabled for Citi Mobile can now “ask Siri” for their bank and credit card balances, which provides them with a new, easy way to check their finances. We’re among the first banks to offer this capability.
