Citi Bank secures top honors in 'Commercial Banking' and 'Environmental, Social, and Governance' categories at the 2025 Banking Excellence Awards
In a series of awards, Citi has been honoured for its significant contributions to Taiwan's financial sector and its commitment to sustainability.
The bank has been awarded the 'Best Commercial Banking' and 'Best ESG' awards in the foreign bank category for the 2025 Excellence Banking Awards. This marks the third consecutive year that Citi has won the 'Best Commercial Banking' award.
Citi's dedication to sustainability was also recognised, with the bank being named 'Best ESG Bank' for the fourth consecutive year. This accolade underscores Citi's ongoing efforts to integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into its strategy and operations.
Michelle Yu, head of Citi Commercial Bank Taiwan, emphasised the importance of integrated solutions for cross-border cash flow, liquidity management, financing, and expert analytical teams in today's volatile economic environment.
Citi's Taiwanese CEO, Christie Chang, also commented on the bank's commitment to sustainability, stating that they look forward to advancing toward net zero together with their clients.
Citi's extensive global network and comprehensive financial services have been instrumental in helping Taiwanese companies accelerate international expansion. Since 2020, Citi has raised over US$27 billion for local clients from global capital markets to support their financial needs.
In addition to its work with local businesses, Citi remains committed to facilitating outbound growth for Taiwanese companies and attracting inbound investment from global firms, enhancing Taiwan's overall competitiveness. The bank has a presence in over 90 markets, serving as a key bridge for Taiwanese companies to grow globally.
These recognitions highlight Citi's role as a trusted bank and a provider of professional solutions that integrate responsible business practices. By supporting Taiwanese enterprises in building a sustainable future, Citi continues to demonstrate its commitment to driving sustainability in finance.
While Citi did not receive any specific awards documented from 2022 to 2025 in the provided search results, other banks such as Taishin International Bank and Taiwan Business Bank were recognised with awards like New Consumer Lending Product of the Year and Financial Inclusion Initiative of the Year during this period. However, Citi's consistent recognition in the Excellence Banking Awards and other accolades this year underscores its ongoing commitment to Taiwan and its businesses.
