Citigroup

Citigroup is a global financial services company providing a broad range of banking, capital markets, and wealth management services. Its primary activities include consumer banking and credit cards, corporate and investment banking, treasury and trade solutions, and wealth and investment management, serving retail customers, corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth clients. The firm targets both mass retail markets in core consumer jurisdictions and institutional and corporate clients worldwide. Operating in the financial services sector, Citigroup is one of the largest global banks by assets and market footprint, with total assets exceeding $1 trillion and a presence in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions. The company is headquartered in New York City, is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker: C), and exists in its current form following the 1998 merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group (with origins tracing to 1812). Citigroup employs over 200,000 people worldwide and generates annual revenues in the tens of billions of dollars. Distinguishing characteristics include its deep transaction banking network, extensive cross-border capabilities in emerging markets, and an ongoing strategic overhaul under CEO Jane Fraser aimed at simplifying operations, exiting non-core consumer markets, and strengthening capital and risk management. Citigroup serves roughly 200 million customer accounts, partners with global corporates and fintechs, raises capital through public equity and debt markets, and continues to prioritize institutional businesses and selected consumer markets as part of its growth and restructuring initiatives.
