Canada can trace its Canadian history back to February 1919, when the National City Company Ltd., National City Bank’s investment arm, first opened offices in Toronto and Montreal to service the needs of Canadian investors.
Today, Citi Canada continues to capitalize on Citi’s global network and ability to do business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions, bringing Canada to the world and the world to Canada.

With 100 years of history in Canada and a global footprint reaching 160 countries and jurisdictions, Citi is guided by its mission to enable growth and progress in the communities we serve. Acting responsibly and ethically while holding ourselves to the highest business standards, we constantly consider how we can be the best for our clients and deliver the greatest positive financial and social impact.
Even in our early days, enabling progress for our clients and our communities was central to our mission. When our first office opened in Montreal in 1919, our first leaders hired only veterans to become our first employees in support of the local community. Today, our impact in the communities we serve stretches across Canada, helping to improve the lives of the country’s most vulnerable and in-need populations. Our global Pathways to Progress initiative has made significant inroads in assisting youth around the world, and as you will read in this document, we’ve had a significant impact in Canada as well.
In the following pages, we are pleased to share the details of our efforts, from our philanthropy and volunteerism to the unique facets of our operations and what guides us as a global leader, a community champion and a trusted partner in progress over 100 years. Thank you to our employees across Canada whose hard work and dedication make these efforts a reality.
Thank you for taking the time to review our contribution.
