Citibank Kenya selects Visionwave

November 2010 Surveillance

Citigroup, a global financial services company, has approximately 200 million customer accounts, over 300 000 employees and is present in more than 104 countries. Through its two operating units, Citicorp and Citi Holdings, Citigroup provides consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage and wealth management.

Citibank N.A. Kenya

Citibank is a part of Citigroup, the financial services organisation formed in 1998 as a result of the merger between Citibank and the Travellers Group. Citibank began operating in Kenya in 1974 as The First National City Bank of New York and has since evolved to be known as Citibank N.A. Kenya Branch (Citi Kenya). It is a full-service branch of Citibank N.A. headquartered in New York. Citi Kenya has its head office in Nairobi and branches in Nairobi and in Mombasa. Its total Kenyan staff stands at approximately 160.

Citi Kenya sought a high-end video surveillance system in its head office in Nairobi. In selecting the solution, Citibank was keen to exceed conventional standards in video surveillance performance. It wanted to ensure that the system complemented the stringent data and IP policies already in place at all of its global operations. UTCFS’s product and design expertise, together with the unique system capabilities of the VisioWave intelligent video platform (IVP), were decisive factors in the bank’s decision to choose UTCFS’s solution.

GE Security’s Solution

The VisioWave IVP solution manages over 60 cameras throughout the Nairobi office. The high-end VisioWave IVP can be optimised and has several features important to Citi Kenya, such as scalability, compression and the ability to offer various storage options. Total cost of ownership has been kept down by enabling the bank to use pre-existing cameras, IT infrastructure and other tools wherever possible.

Citi Kenya is the first bank in the region to implement an IVP solution for its surveillance and video recording requirements, putting it at the forefront of the region’s banking industry.
