Citi Introduces the Citi International Savings Account: A New Cross-Border Savings Solution for International Wealth Clients
London | 2026
As global wealth becomes increasingly international, investors are demanding banking solutions that are as mobile as the lives they lead. Today marks the introduction of the **Citi International Savings Account (CISA)**—a premium savings solution designed exclusively for eligible internationally based investors who access Citi through participating wealth management firms and family offices.
The launch represents a significant addition to Citi’s international wealth offering, combining the security of one of the world’s most established financial institutions with the simplicity of a traditional savings account. Rather than requiring investors to manage complex investment portfolios or actively monitor markets, the CISA enables clients to place cash deposits in a professionally administered banking solution offering competitive interest rates across four major currencies—Australian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling.
Built upon more than two centuries of banking experience, Citi remains one of the world’s largest financial institutions, operating across approximately 160 countries and jurisdictions with around US$2.4 trillion in assets. For international savers, that heritage provides more than just scale—it offers confidence. Deposits are held with Citibank N.A., with eligible balances benefiting from applicable FDIC deposit insurance limits, while clients continue to benefit from Citi’s extensive expertise in treasury management, fixed income markets and global liquidity management.
Unlike products distributed through traditional retail banking channels, the Citi International Savings Account has been structured as a private wealth solution available only through selected wealth management firms and family offices that have access to the programme. Applications are made exclusively through participating advisers, ensuring every account is opened within a professional wealth management relationship. The product is intended for eligible international investors residing outside the United States and the United Kingdom, providing access to a dedicated savings solution that is not broadly marketed to the general public.
The account has been designed to accommodate different liquidity requirements. Clients may choose between an instant-access savings option or fixed-term deposits extending to two years, with staged annual equivalent rates depending on the selected term. Throughout every option, the underlying proposition remains deliberately straightforward: clients place their savings with Citi, Citi manages the balance sheet and treasury allocation, and clients receive the agreed deposit rate without purchasing investment securities or assuming investment management responsibilities themselves.
Behind the scenes, Citi leverages one of the world’s largest institutional balance sheets, deploying deposits across high-quality banking activities including government securities, institutional fixed-income assets, mortgage-backed securities and global treasury operations, alongside prudent currency and interest-rate management. These activities have long formed part of the bank’s institutional funding model and enable Citi to support attractive savings propositions while simultaneously strengthening its international currency funding base across multiple jurisdictions.
