About the Business

History

Citi has had a presence in Nigeria since 1984. Citi is the oldest existing international bank in Nigeria, with service bank branches spread across the nation.

Businesses

Citi continues to focus on competitively creating value and providing efficient service delivery to its clients while maintaining a robust risk and control environment. Citi consistently assists its clients by creating innovative solutions, which are mostly first-of-their-kind landmark structures in the market, to resolve their banking needs. Citi brings its global expertise, coupled with in-depth knowledge of the local market, to provide appropriate banking solutions.

Citi has welcomed the recent regulatory measures initiated by the Central Bank of Nigeria, as they have brought local banking standards closer to international best practices. A more transparent and rigorous regulatory regime ensures a level playing field for all market operators. Citi has taken the lead in complying with several of the recent regulatory reforms and has worked hard to build overall industry capacity in this regard.

At Citi, we also assist local clients strategically, in their adoption of best practices in their corporate governance standards.

Landmark Transactions

Citi's global connectivity is highly valued by its clients in Nigeria, including Nigerian customers looking to expand their businesses beyond the shores of the country. Citi builds enduring relationships with our clients by providing them with a broad suite of strategic advisory and financing products. Over the years, Citi's clients have been able to conform to the highest global standards and as a result have been able to raise capital by tapping into international capital markets.

Sustainability

At Citi Nigeria, we are committed to the needs of the communities in which we operate. By driving sustainability through corporate citizenship, we have developed an Environmental and Social Risk Management (ESRM) Policy that includes categorization requirements, environmental due diligence, elevated review and approval requirements for the following transaction types:

  • corporate and government loans
  • project finance
  • equity transactions
  • acquisition finance
  • letters of credit
  • bid and performance bonds
  • project finance advisory mandates

In 2003, Citi was pivotal to the development of the global Equator Principles. These standards serve as a voluntary set of guidelines for managing environmental and social risk issues. They are utilized for the funding of development programs, such as project financing and advisory with capital costs of over US$10 million.

It is important to state that these principles have been vetted by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Similarly, Citi has implemented guidelines to manage risks in corporate loans, debt securities and underwritings greater than US$50 million where use of proceeds is known.

Citi in the Community

We continue to applaud the efforts of our non-profit partners like Junior Achievement, Technoserve, LEAP Africa, United States African Development Foundation who, alongside Citi, continue to promote economic progress and improve the lives of people in low-income communities around Nigeria. Our combined efforts have seen an increase in financial inclusion, job opportunities for the youth and innovative approaches to building an economically vibrant nation.

Citi has donated more than US$1.29 million to support various IDP Projects that are run by the International Rescue Committee, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA and Junior Achievement Nigeria (JAN).

Citi upgraded the library at Government Senior College Victoria Island as part of Lagos State Project 350 initiative, which is focused on building and sustaining the infrastructure that will help improve the academic performance of students within the state.
