# Citigroup

The same corporation as two U.S. public registries record it — registries that share no common identifier.

## CFPB · consumer complaints (RECORDED)

**135,570** complaints name companies matching Citigroup. Chiefly **CITIBANK, N.A.** (135,570) — drill down at `/finance/companies/citibank-n-a`.

| Product | Complaints |
| --- | --- |
| Credit card | 39,120 |
| Credit card or prepaid card | 25,033 |
| Checking or savings account | 19,392 |

## GLEIF · legal entities (RECORDED)

**255** entities in the GLEIF LEI registry carry a name matching "CITIGROUP", "CITIBANK": 143 active, 78 lapsed, 31 retired; 92 US-registered. Top non-US: GB (19), KY (12), CA (11), HK (10), MY (9).

> This count is a **name-match floor**, not an org chart — it includes funds, pension trusts, and SPVs that carry the brand, and misses subsidiaries under unrelated names. GLEIF Level-1 records carry no parent/child ownership, so these are not asserted to be Citigroup's subsidiaries.

Sample entities:

- CITIBANK NIGERIA LIMITED — issued (NG)
- CITIGROUP PTY LIMITED — issued (AU)
- BANCO CITIBANK S A — issued (BR)
- Citigroup Funding Inc. — retired (US)
- CITIBANK N.A., DANIEL C. DONOGHUE II & RHODORA M DONOGHUE II CO-TTEEE OF THE LEGION OF CHRIST CONSECRATED JFDII TRUST — issued (US)
- CITIBANK N.A., DANIEL C. DONOGHUE II & JOHN F. DONOGHUE II CO-TTEEE OF THE LEGION OF CHRIST CONSECRATED RMD TRUST — issued (US)
- Citibank International plc (Publiczna Spółka Akcyjna) Oddział w Polsce — lapsed (PL)
- Citibank Europe plc (Publiczna Spółka Akcyjna) Oddział w Polsce — annulled (PL)

## The cross-registry link (DERIVED)

CFPB and GLEIF share no common entity ID, so associating these records as one corporation, Citigroup, is a **name match** over the patterns "CITIGROUP", "CITIBANK" — robust for a distinctive brand, but never a verified ownership graph.

## What this is — and is NOT (interpretation)

A cross-registry **footprint** of public records — not a corporate org chart, not a due-diligence verdict, not advice about doing business with Citigroup. Lapsed LEI registrations are neutral (usually an unpaid annual renewal). The complaint count is not a quality ranking; a complaint is an unverified allegation.
