About Citi Private Bank
Citi's dedicated private bank serves UHNW clients with $25M+ net worth, offering institutional-grade investment banking, lending, and art advisory through Citi Art Advisory.
Known For
- Serves families and family offices with net worth generally above USD 25 million, with a dedicated global family office group
- Citi Art Advisory and Finance, established in 1979, provides collection advice and art-secured lending against major works
- Institutional-style capabilities: capital markets access, aircraft and yacht financing, and co-investment alongside Citi's investment bank
- Presence in more than 40 countries, with strong coverage of Latin America, Asia and the Middle East
Typical Mandate
Citi Private Bank's typical client is a first- or second-generation entrepreneur, a family office or a senior investment professional with a global footprint and a need for banking in several currencies and jurisdictions. Mandates combine custody and investment management with lending against concentrated stock, real estate, art or aircraft, and access to private markets and capital-markets execution. The family office group works with single-family offices that run their own investment teams and want institutional pricing and infrastructure rather than advice.
How to Engage
Prospective clients are usually introduced by a lawyer, an investment bank contact or an existing client; the website lists regional offices for direct inquiries. The bank's stated entry point is a net worth of about USD 25 million, with meaningful relationships considerably larger. Expect a structured onboarding process with source-of-wealth documentation for every entity, and a private banker paired with product specialists depending on the family's needs.
