History
[edit]Formerly known as First National City Bank, Citibank opened its first Malaysian branch in Jalan Medan Pasar, Kuala Lumpur with 17 employees in July 1959.[6] Two more branches opened in 1965, another one in Kuala Lumpur and one in Penang.[9]
Citibank Berhad locally incorporated on April 22, 1994[5] making it the first American Bank to do so.[6]
Consumer and corporate banking operations were brought under one roof at the new headquarters, Citibank Menara, on June 11, 2001.[9]
In 2006, following the lifting of restrictions on foreign banks, Citibank opened branches throughout Malaysia in Bukit Tengah (Penang), Damansara Perdana (Petaling Jaya), Klang, and Puchong (Selangor).[6][9] In 2009, Citibank opened another four branches in Taipan USJ, Cheras, Melaka, and Kuantan, expanding its branch network to eleven.[10]
