Citi’s growing team of Financial Advisors garnered 35 positions on Bank Investment Consultant’s annual Top 100 Bank Advisors list, with Citi Personal Wealth Management’s Andrew Vahab ranked Number One among advisors in the industry.

Financial Advisors Josh Haber and Robert Hanes in New York City and Alex Marks in Chicago were also named to the Top 10.

“Over the last year, Citi's U.S. Consumer Bank has implemented a truly client-centric relationship model to seamlessly provide our Citigold clients with the best products, value and convenience across the spectrum of banking, mortgage, and wealth management,” said John Cummings, Head of U.S. Consumer Wealth Management. “This industry recognition is a true testament to the outstanding work our team is doing every day.”
