Results of the poll were based on valid responses from 3,801 participants.

Citi was also ranked highly by clients in many service categories, including a #1 ranking for overall service and in categories such as: Provision of Cross-Border Cash Pooling, Availability of Global Banking and Electronic Tools, Innovative Payment and Collection Methods, Global Liquidity Capabilities, Bank Credit Rating, and Comprehensive Electronic Banking Capabilities.
