In Brief: Citibank Meets Securities Standards for Asia

Citibank's securities operations in six Asian markets have been certified by the International Organization for Standardization.

The international securities group certified the bank's securities services in Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and India. The bank's Hong Kong-based global custody operations also received the organization's stamp of approval.

Though the certification does not change the bank's legal rights or obligations in these countries, it indicates that Citibank's Worldwide Securities Services division has met the group's operating recommendations. Citibank, the banking subsidiary of Citigroup, has securities operations in 100 countries, including 21 in Asia. - Compiled by J. Alex Tarquinio
