OPERATING STATUS: Fully operational. Citibank N.A. Bangladesh is a branch of Citibank N.A. (US parent, part of Citigroup Inc.), focused exclusively on institutional and corporate clients. No retail franchise. No imminent change in status. HISTORY: Representative office opened 1987. Full-service branch license from Bangladesh Bank dated 1995-01-26; operations commenced 1995-06-24. On 2000-06-18 a Chattogram branch was opened. Currently 4 branches: Motijheel (Dhaka), Dhanmondi (Dhaka), Gulshan (Dhaka, also serves as head office at 8/109 Gulshan Avenue), and Agrabad (Chattogram). Two offshore banking unit (OBU) booths: Dhaka OBU (Gulshan) and Chattogram EPZ OBU. FINANCIALS: No BDT balance-sheet figures could be confirmed from publicly accessible primary sources as of 2026-05-20. Citibank publishes annual onshore audited financial statements on citigroup.com (most recent publicly accessible: FY2022 PDF), but file sizes exceed fetch limits. Total assets, deposits, loans, net profit, CAR, and ROA/ROE are all left null pending access to the FY2022 or FY2023 audited statements. The only confirmed financial indicator is NPL below 1% in 2024, per The Daily Star's industry survey of foreign banks (alongside State Bank of India and CBC). Global Citigroup total assets as of 2018 were USD 1,917 billion — this is NOT a Bangladesh-specific figure and is not used. EMPLOYEE COUNT: Multiple official Citigroup sources state 'more than 150' employees in Bangladesh; this is used as-is since no more precise figure was found. COUNTRY OFFICER: Md. Moinul Huq appointed Citi Country Officer (CCO) on 2022-12-05 per Asset Servicing Times (exact date from that article). Prior to this role, he led the Treasury and Trade Solutions division of Citibank Bangladesh since 2012. He joined Citi in 2002. The CCO role is recorded in md_ceo field as it is the equivalent head-of-operations role for a branch-structure FCB. NOTE: 'Citibank Bangladesh' (this entity, SWIFT: CITIBDDX) must not be confused with 'The City Bank PLC' (a Bangladeshi private bank, DSE: CITYBANK), which is a distinct and unrelated institution. VERIFICATION STATUS: partial. Branch count, CCO name and appointment date, establishment year, and NPL below 1% are verified from primary sources. All financial figures null due to inaccessible PDFs; no BDT figures found in press coverage.
