A message from the Director . . .
For the last 30 years, my team of Relationship Managers and I have been committed to bringing the highest quality service and solutions to our Queens clients, who represent an ever widening range of industries, from construction and manufacturing, to transportation, communications, electric & gas, sanitary services, wholesale & retail trade, attorneys, CPA’s, insurance, real estate, service and health care.
During my 14 years at Citibank, I’ve come to learn that the Queens marketplace is one of the most exciting and diverse in the country. We work to meet not only the business needs of our client base, but also their diverse language needs as well. My team speaks a variety of languages, from Spanish to Korean to Chinese, including both the Mandarin and Cantonese dialects.
Over the years, we have developed the depth of experience our clients need to reach their business goals. As a Citibank client, your success is our priority. That’s why you have a dedicated Relationship Manager who will work with you to understand your business goals and challenges, and tailor the right financial strategies to help you get where you want to go.

CitiBusiness® Global Solutions Account
Doing business in international markets and managing your global payments and collections can be costly and time consuming. That’s the reason why Citibank is introducing the CitiBusiness Global Solutions Account.
Designed especially for U.S. based companies with international sales activities, or significant foreign currency transactions, the new CitiBusiness Global Solutions Account makes sending and receiving payments overseas simple and easy. The new account provides greater flexibility, reduced costs, lower risks, streamlined operations, and better control over your foreign currency transactions by eliminating the need to establish individual bank accounts in each country or convert funds to or from U.S. dollars.
