Smart Storage for Dynamic Banking Teams

Citi Bank is a leading global retail bank serving more than 100 million clients worldwide. In its London headquarters at Canary Wharf, the bank supports a large, agile workforce across multiple floors. Traditional storage could not keep up with flexible work patterns, and Citi sought a modern locker solution that blended security, convenience, and design.

Working with Keynius, the bank deployed a smart locker system tailored to personal storage and IT asset management, all integrated into its own workplace app.

Citi Bank’s Challenges

Inflexible Locker Space
Existing lockers could not adapt to changing team sizes or support hybrid workers needing temporary storage.

Manual Key Management
Traditional locks required staff oversight and presented risks of lost keys and reduced security.

Workflow Integration
The bank needed lockers connected to its workplace app with both PIN access and mobile booking for IT and resource management.

Office Aesthetics
Any storage solution had to complement the newly renovated office environment and uphold Citi’s polished image.

A Smarter Solution

Discovery
Citi Bank sought a flexible locker system that adapts to an agile workforce, integrates with its workplace app, and meets strict security and design requirements.

Solution & Recommendation
Keynius recommended smart lockers across five floors, controlled through Citi’s workplace app and terminal PIN codes.

Customization & Collaboration
Citi’s facilities team, Keynius, and the design firm customised the software, integrated it into the workplace app, and completed the installation.

Why Keynius
Keynius combined functionality, design, and integration, offering lockers tailored to Citi’s aesthetic and workflows, with plug‑and‑play relocation and data insights.
