We identified HighRadius as the leading provider and Citi Ventures invested in the company. TTS subsequently announced the launch of Citi® Smart Match, which leverages HighRadius' distinctive automation and machine learning technology to make the cash application process more efficient and generate key insights for Citi's corporate clients.
