Citi announced today that it will begin piloting a new mobile peer to peer payment service with leading mobile payments provider Obopay. The mobile payment service will be initially offered to select new and existing Citi customers as part of a limited consumer trial in Boston and Chicago. 

From parents sending funds to a child in college to a friend
reimbursing a friend for dinner, peer to peer payments allow consumers to instantly, conveniently and securely send and receive money via their
mobile phone. Select Citi customers participating in the trial can add
money to their mobile payment account via Citi-Obopay through credit card or electronic bank transfer. Then, using the Obopay mobile
application, their mobile Web browser or text messaging, Citi customers can manage their mobile payment account directly from their mobile phone.

Citi trial participants will be able to check balances, view payment histories, and add funds to their mobile payment account. Funds received via the mobile payment service can also be accessed with a prepaid debit card to be provided with the service.
