What the organisation has said about AI
Source-linked findings from official filings, investor presentations and published calls.
Products and use casesGrowth and efficiencyInferred
Internal AI adoption reaches nearly ninety percent
Nearly nine out of ten Citi employees are utilizing the company's AI tools, which is helping accelerate product delivery and improve productivity.
“Nearly nine out of ten of our people are using our AI tools. That is not only driving productivity and client experience, but also growth, helping us bring products to market significantly faster - as we are doing with Payments Express in Services and with our Citi Wealth Advisor Insights platform.”
Over one hundred processes mapped for AI and automation to drive efficiency
Citi has mapped more than 100 processes end-to-end to identify opportunities for technology and AI automation, which is managed weekly by the COO and Head of Technology.
“And then, the third leg of that structural efficiency push is the productivity opportunities that we see from technology and AI automation. And I spoke about how we have more than 100-plus processes that we’re mapping end-to-end, where we see opportunities for further automation.”
Strategic AI integration follows winding down of major transformation work
As major transformation programs wind down and internal audit validations progress, Citi is applying its lessons to systematically integrate AI into businesses and functions.
“As much of the transformation work winds down, we are not only taking down expenses, but we are applying what we learned about large-scale implementation to integrate AI into our businesses and functions wherever it makes sense.”
AI and supporting compute infrastructure drive corporate and market activity
Substantial investment in AI, data centers, and semiconductor infrastructure is acting as a tailwind for growth in the U.S. and Asia, dominating corporate client conversations.
“The extraordinary investment in AI - and its supporting cast of semi-conductors, data centers and related infrastructure - is providing a tailwind in the U.S. and parts of Asia, while a more vulnerable Europe faces yet another competitive headwind.”
Deploying next-generation AI native tools and LLMs
Citi is investing in next-generation technology by deploying AI-native tools, utilising 'Citi AI', leading large language models (LLMs), and piloting application layer specialists such as Rogo and Hebbia.
“Our other critical investment is in next generation technology. As I noted a moment ago, we're deploying AI native tools that will enable us to work smarter, to be more productive and serve clients better. From Citi AI and the leading LLMs, to piloting application layer specialists such as Rogo and Hebbia, we are putting the best tools in the hands of our teams.”

Embracing AI as a growth driver to disrupt traditional practices
Citi's banking division is instilling a culture shift to embrace AI as a catalyst for growth, aiming to use AI tools to disrupt traditional practices, increase efficiency, and drive better outcomes for clients.
“And finally, embracing AI as a growth driver. AI appears on this slide because it's really about a mindset shift. Our teams at all levels must embrace it as a catalyst for growth. Those stuck in a Jurassic warp are at risk of being left behind. We will use the tools to disrupt ourselves, to challenge convention, become more efficient and drive better client outcomes.”
