Overview

Citi’s history in the Philippines dates back to July 1902 when the International Banking Corporation, forerunner of Citibank, established a branch in Manila.

Today, Citi Philippines is the largest foreign bank in the country in terms of asset base. With over 7,000 employees, Citi proudly serves the public sector, top-tier local corporates, multinationals and financial institutions operating in the country.

Citi banks 90% of the top 20 companies in the country by listed market capitalization and settles around US$5bn of transfers daily. Since 2020, the bank has raised over US$10bn for Philippines issuers from global capital markets for both sovereign and corporate issuers. Citi has also been the sole settlement bank of the Philippine Domestic Dollar Transfer System (PDDTS) for the past 30 years.

Citi’s country office is in Citi Plaza in Bonifacio Global City. The 24-story custom-built site showcases Citi’s latest global workplace environments and is one of Citi’s largest investments in office infrastructure in ASEAN. The site was awarded a double Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. Today, it is the largest building in the Philippines to achieve this recognition for its Core and Shell design.
