    StrengthsGlobal network

    Through its operation in around 100 countries, Citibank has created a global network that has provedrobust in the face of economic slumps affecting many Western economies. Although hindered by loandefaults particularly in Argentina and Brazil, and the subsequent rises in provisions, the bank has beenbuoyant in certain European markets and furthered its geographical reach through strategic positioningin Russia and the Pacific Rim, particularly China.

    Backing of the Citigroup

    Citibank has the undoubted advantage over many of its rivals, of having the financial backing and supportof Citigroup, the hugely successful financial services company. The support this company providesmeans Citibank can approach ventures and business opportunities with considerably less trepidation thanindependent companies. The group is likely to benefit from an adventurous strategy, so long as it has thesustainability to survive the consequences when the groups ventures do not go to plan. Citigroupprovides Citibank with the sustainability required in such circumstances.

    Innovative product offering

  • 8/3/2019 Term Paper Citibank

    14/27

    Page 14 of 27

    Innovative product offerings enable Citibank to remain at the forefront of numerous markets. The bankhas continually developed partnerships to enhance its geographical and sector reach. For example, thebank formed a partnership with Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale. The aim of the deal was toreduce the settlement risk with foreign exchange transactions resulting from trading across various timezones. In addition, in 2003 the bank announced its intentions to develop products specific to the USHispanic population, in a move designed to capitalize further on the groups acquisition of Mexican bankBanamex in 2001. This ever-proliferating array of offerings has enabled Citibank to attract a diversity ofcustomers and have high customer retention rates.

    WeaknessesTarnished brand name

    Although Citigroup has been one of Wall Streets strongest performers over recent years, and hasachieved strong shareholder value since its creation, its brand has been severely tarnished since 2002due to the ongoing investigations into its banking practices, particularly in its investment bankingsubsidiary, Salomon Smith Barney. After examinations into a number of Wall Street banks regarding

    conflicts of interests, regulators indicated that Citigroup, due to wrongdoings at its Salomon Smith Barneyinvestment banking operation, will be hit with the hardest punishment, with the fine likely to be around$500 million. Although this is punishment for the group as a whole, particularly its investment bankingoperations, such a high-profile investigation sheds investor doubt over all practices of the group,ultimately also tarnishing the Citibank brand.

    Online operations are geared towards US clients

    Much of Citibanks online operatio ns are geared towards US clients. This is a major weakness inCitibanks armory, as it has worldwide operations, but not a sufficient Internet presence to compliment itsbranch business. In the increasingly competitive market that is online banking, Citibank needs to improveits online facilities for its international customers, or risk losing them to more dedicated companies.

    Branding problems

    Citigroup learned the hard way about the importance of branding for online operations. When its Internet-only bank operation, Citi f/i failed, part of the reason was because of poor branding tactics. Citigroupexecutives thought that by making Citi f/I completely separate from other banking operations, customerswould be more attracted to an Internet-only operation. For its payments business, the bank chose thename "c2it by Citibank". It wanted non-Citigroup customers to feel that they could use the service just asmuch as Citigroup customers could. Its success in the past taught the bank to make certain that the Citiname is leveraged as much as possible.

    OpportunitiesGrowth markets

    Citibank is continuingly focusing on growth markets. Although in some, less liberalized marketplaces riskis potentially higher, the bank has sought strategic positioning to attempt to reap the advantages of beingone of the first-to-market players. This is exemplified clearly by the launch in of retail banking operationsin Moscow. Although its presence to date remains minor, the bank is one of the first Western banks toseek a foothold in the country. The Russian banking market remains embattled and following the defaultsof domestic banks in 1998, much of the population prefer to keep their savings at home. However,Citibank is seeking to benefit on two fronts. Firstly, the Russian government is currently implementing anumber of liberalizing measures as condition for the countrys joining of WTO, which will drive the banksease of operation and the number of functions it is able to conduct. Secondly, as much of the population

  • 8/3/2019 Term Paper Citibank

    15/27

    Page 15 of 27

    still express concerns over the financial foundations of domestic banks, including state owned Sberbank,Citibank can exploit its standing as a financial titan, offering securityto savings deposits.

    Chinese market

    In addition, and perhaps most significantly, Citibank is positioning itself within the fast liberalizing Chinesemarket. In April 2002 Citibank announced a deal of co-operation with Galaxy Securities, where it issharing expertise on securities and banking issues. Citigroup will wait until a relaxation in the Chineselaws before it can make a significant impact in the market, and will use Galaxy to leverage its full entry.

    Online presence

    Citibank is heavily focused on the US, its largest market. Often Citibank uses the US as a test market forvarious business ventures before expanding internationally. But it also has a number of initiatives in othercountries. The bank is now trying to integrate international capabilities with what it does in the US (B2Btransfers from one country to another, for example). Citibank recognizes that around the world theInternet is used differently from the way it is used in America. For instance, mobile telephony(WAP phones) is larger in other parts of the world such as Europe and Asia. Citibank has a number ofpilots in other countries that are centered on these WAP technologies. It has rolled out its online bankingservice, Citibank Online, across the globe and will continue to expand its online presence on a worldwidescale.

    Click CitiCitibank felt that traditional credit cards did not necessarily meet all the needs that consumers had foronline shopping. Click Citi debuted as a niche product aimed at existing cardholders who were nervousabout revealing card information on the Web.

    ThreatsForeign exchange fluctuations

    Citibank, due to its geographical spread, can be rendered vulnerable to foreign exchange fluctuations andalso recessions in certain markets. At worst, for instance in Argentina and Brazil, this has landed Citibankwith substantial losses and increased provisions. In addition, exposure to high-risk sectors, includingtelecom and tech stocks, has led the bank to suffer sizable losses on its equity portfolios.

    Market conditions

    The company has been operating in tough market conditions, and its financial performance during thesetimes is testament to its strength. The last fiscal year was an extremely difficult operating environment forCitibank and other companies the longest bear market in a generation. Furthermore, a number ofcorporate revelations from a small number of companies tainted all of corporate America, putting the

    company under more pressure.

    Regulatory forces

    The companys consumer finance business operates in a highly regulated environment. Thesebusinesses are subject to laws relating to consumer protection, discrimination in extending credit, use ofcredit reports, privacy matters, disclosure of credit terms and correction of billing errors. They also aresubject to certain regulations and legislation that limit operations in certain jurisdictions. For example,limitations may be placed on the amount of interest or fees that a loan may bear, the amount that may beborrowed, the types of actions that may be taken to collect or foreclose upon delinquent loans or the
