Citigroup Inc

One of the world's largest financial services companies, Citi (short for Citigroup) runs global banking, credit cards, and wealth management through brands like Citibank and Citi Private Bank, serving everyday customers, big corporations, and governments. It was created in 1998 by merging Citicorp with Travelers Group—the name combines "Citi" from one and "Group" from the other—though its roots reach back to the City Bank of New York, founded in 1812. For years the combined company kept Travelers' iconic red umbrella logo until 2007.
