Citi’s roots in Canada date back to 1919. Currently, the company employs approximately 1,450 employees with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto and Mississauga. Citi is one of the most global financial services organizations in Canada, with access to Citi’s far-reaching network in 160 countries and jurisdictions.
Citi’s key strategic focus in Canada is to continue to enable progress and help our clients succeed through these major lines of business: Citi Corporate and Investment Banking, Citi Treasury and Trade Solutions, Citi Markets and Securities Services, Citi Private Bank, and Citi Cards Canada.
Using a “more than philanthropy” approach, we put the strength of Citi’s business resources and people to work to help improve communities.
We recognize that the challenges communities face are complex, and to enable progress no single organization can do it alone. Citi collaborates with public agencies and community organizations to develop innovative and scalable solutions that help families achieve financial empowerment. Citi provides its employees with a number of internal programs and opportunities that encourage participation and engagement in all our charitable endeavours.
