Our local expertise
Citi has had a presence in the United Kingdom since 1902 with the opening of IBC's (International Banking Corporation's) London office. Smith Barney opened its first office in London in 1968, and Salomon Brothers established its U.K. headquarters in London in 1971. In 1997, Smith Barney merged with Salomon Inc. to form Salomon Smith Barney. Citi merged Salomon Smith Barney with Schroder Plc. in 2000, creating a leading pan-European investment bank. Today, the U.K. provides global financial services across Markets, Banking, Services and Wealth to our clients around the world. We employ around 14,000 colleagues across our main office in London and sizeable offices in Belfast, Derby and Edinburgh.
