Citicorp

Citicorp was the descendant of First National City Bank, founded in New York. It was one of the oldest banks in the United States (founded in 1812), and had the largest international branch presence of any United States headquartered bank. It specialized in large corporate banking, and was one of the largest banks in the United States at the time. The CEO at the time of the merger, John Reed, was instrumental in pushing for the acceptance and use of ATMs, and had seen the company through a financially bleak period when it had many problems with international loans defaulting. Reed had been trying to change the corporate culture of Citicorp, for example by hiring top executives from consumer product companies, not banks. Reed felt that the chance to merge with the Travelers Group would help effect change in this area.
