## Content

## In Short
Citi has published new details on its firmwide AI strategy. The bank says it is rolling out internal AI tools globally to support staff productivity, software development, and risk controls.

## What Happened
Citi said its AI programme is led by Group Head of AI David Griffiths, with a mandate to embed AI across the bank’s operations. Citi described itself as moving nearly $6 trillion daily.

The company highlighted several platforms and assistants. These include Arc, described as an agent platform, meaning software that can take multi step actions like gathering information and completing tasks, not just answering questions. Citi also referenced “Citi AI”, an internal suite of AI tools, and “Citi Sky”, a wealth management assistant designed to support client facing work.

Citi’s flagship internal tool is Citi Stylus Workspaces. The bank said it has rolled out to more than 180,000 employees across more than 87 countries and jurisdictions. Citi also said staff have interacted with its AI tools more than 65 million times since the internal rollout began in December 2024, with adoption above 87%.

A key theme in the update is standardisation and controls. Citi said it is building AI in a “uniform way” so implementations in one region or business can work with others. It also said platform level controls help reduce manual approvals and checks, and that a human remains in the loop across the AI lifecycle.

Citi also pointed to partnerships with major AI and cloud vendors, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft.

## Why It Matters
For African fintechs and banks, Citi’s approach signals what large regulated institutions increasingly want from AI, integrated platforms, audit trails, and consistent governance across regions. “Agentic AI” is moving from pilots to production, especially where it can accelerate software delivery and reduce operational risk.

It also raises the bar for enterprise buyers. Vendors selling AI to banks will likely face tighter requirements around data controls, review workflows, and cross border deployment, not just model quality.
