Citibank, N.A. (with "N.A." denoting "National Association" and stylized as citibank) serves as the principal banking subsidiary of the global financial services corporation Citigroup in the United States. Established in 1812 as the City Bank of New York, it subsequently adopted the name First National City Bank of New York. The institution operates branches across 19 countries, with a significant presence in six major metropolitan areas in the U.S.: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Miami. Citibank ranks as the fourth largest bank in the United States by total assets.

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