Citigroup has invested in UK-based fintech Genesis, a startup that develops technology for financial firms to build applications such as trading systems, according to Reuters.

The companies did not disclose the amount and terms of the investment. Genesis has developed a low-code application platform, or tools to enable banks and other financial institutions to build new software for various business lines with fewer amount of coding. Genesis’ technology can make it on average 80% faster than building an application from scratch, according to company staff.
