Citigroup unexpectedly lost a legal battle to recover half a billion dollars it sent Revlon lenders, after the embarrassing blunder forced it to answer to regulators and tighten its internal controls.

Bank of America and Citigroup trimmed compensation for their chief executives in 2020, a year in which banks exercised restraint in compensating employees as the pandemic ravaged the economy.

Still under fire for financing oil-and-gas exploration, banks are now being criticized for bankrolling producers of the single-use bottles and wrappers that are piling up in landfills and waterways. How will they respond to the mounting pressure from environmentalists?

Citigroup will refund an additional $4.2 million to some credit card customers who were overcharged years ago.

Citigroup’s incoming CEO, Jane Fraser, created a new global operating team aimed at improving accountability among its top executives, as the firm continues to address a litany of concerns raised by regulators last year.

The bank considered terminating the relationship with professional golfer Justin Thomas, but instead decided to use his platform to increase awareness of discrimination against the LGBTQ community, Chief Marketing Officer Carla Hassan said Monday in a blog post.

Citigroup, one of the few companies to offer a frank assessment of the difference in wages it pays to men and women, has made gradual progress toward narrowing that gap.

Citigroup will reduce bonuses for dozens of its top executives after the bank was reprimanded by regulators last year.

However, it beat analysts' estimates thanks to a big reserve release, a smaller-than-expected rise in expenses and other factors.
