Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CFG) is a U.S. bank holding company headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, founded in 1828. It provides retail and commercial banking products and services to individuals, small businesses, middle-market companies, large corporations, and institutions across the United States.
The company operates through two segments: Consumer Banking, which offers deposit products, mortgage and home equity lending, credit cards, business loans, wealth management, and digital banking services; and Commercial Banking, which provides lending, leasing, deposit and treasury management, foreign exchange, risk management, syndicated loans, corporate finance, M&A advisory, and capital markets services. The company serves a broad customer base spanning consumers, high-net-worth individuals, investors, and institutional clients across multifamily, office, industrial, retail, healthcare, and hospitality sectors.
As a regional bank under the GICS classification, Citizens focuses its operations within defined U.S. geographic footprints rather than operating a global retail network, which is a common structural distinction between regional and money-center banks. Citizens went public on the NYSE in September 2014, having previously operated as RBS Citizens Financial Group prior to its April 2014 rebranding.
