A LONG COMMITMENT TO CHINA
Citi first established operations in China when it opened its Shanghai office in 1902. As the first American bank to fly the red, white and blue flag in China, Citi became known as Hua Qi Yin Hang, literally, the “Flower Flag Bank”. In the modern era, China remains one of Citi's greatest priorities.
