About Citizens Financial Group, Inc.
About Citizens Financial Group, Inc.
Citizens Financial Group held $226.4 billion in total assets, $183.3 billion in total deposits, and $26.3 billion in total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2025. The company's banking subsidiary, Citizens Bank, N.A. (CBNA), operates more than 1,000 branches and 3,100 ATMs across a 14-state footprint concentrated in New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Midwest, with the holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and CBNA regulated at the bank level by the OCC.
Citizens Financial Group generates revenue through two segments: Consumer Banking, which serves individuals, small businesses, and high-net-worth clients via deposits, mortgage, home equity, education loans, and wealth management products; and Commercial Banking, which serves middle-market and mid-corporate clients with lending, treasury management, capital markets, and advisory services. The company funds itself primarily through customer deposits, which the 10-K describes as the bank's 'primary stable and low-cost source of funding,' supplemented by FHLB borrowings, securitizations, and repurchase agreements. Net interest income is subject to asset-liability mismatch risk: if funding costs rise faster than asset yields, or if rates fall faster than deposit repricing, net interest margin may compress. Citizens competes against large regional banks and national institutions, as well as non-bank lenders, private credit providers, and FinTech platforms that face fewer regulatory constraints and can offer higher deposit rates due to lower cost structures.
Show full overview
Citizens Financial Group and CBNA are each classified under Category IV of the Federal Reserve's Tailoring Rules — the least restrictive of the four categories — based on asset size and risk indicators. The FRB imposes an institution-specific stress capital buffer on top of the three minimum risk-based capital ratios; failure to maintain the effective minimums would constrain dividends and share repurchases. If CFG were to lose financial holding company status — for instance, by failing to meet minimum capital standards — the FRB could order divestiture of banking subsidiaries or restrict activities permissible only for financial holding companies, not ordinary bank holding companies.
