Citibank, N.A. (with "N. A." representing "National Association"; stylized as citibank) serves as the main U.S. banking subsidiary of the global financial services corporation Citigroup. Established in 1812 as the City Bank of New York, Citibank later adopted the name First National City Bank of New York. The bank operates branches in 19 countries, with its U.S. locations primarily situated in six metropolitan regions: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Miami. Citibank ranks as the fourth largest bank in the United States based on assets.

The City Bank of New York was established on June 16, 1812. The inaugural president of the City Bank was Samuel Osgood, a statesman and retired Colonel. Following Osgood's passing in August 1813, William Few took over as President, serving until 1817, succeeded by Peter Stagg (1817–1825), Thomas Smith (1825–1827), Isaac Wright (1827–1832), and Thomas Bloodgood (1832–1843). After the Panic of 1837, Moses Taylor gained control of the institution. Under Taylor's leadership, the bank primarily operated as a treasury and financial hub for his vast business interests. Subsequent presidents of the bank included Gorham A. Worth (1843–1856), Moses Taylor himself (1856–1882), Taylor's son-in-law Percy Rivington Pyne I, and James Stillman (1891–1909).
