Citizens Financial Group's Competitive Edge and Growth Opportunities
Citizens Financial Group aims to capitalize on growth opportunities by offering distinctive services, focusing on private banking, and wealth management. By targeting high net worth and ultra high net worth individuals, the bank plans to provide comprehensive and integrated services that combine personal banking, business banking, and wealth management under one point of contact. This approach addresses the white space left by larger banks with siloed services and bureaucratic structures, positioning Citizens Financial Group for significant growth in the banking sector.

Citizens Financial Group foresees substantial growth potential in its private banking and wealth management initiatives, aiming to propel the brand into the top five US commercial and retail banks. The bank has committed to external targets for 2025, including billion in deposits, 10 billion in AUM, and 9 billion in loans, expecting a 5% EPS accretion. To achieve medium-term return objectives of 16-18% ROTC, the bank plans to leverage the strong deposit quality and expanding wealth management services for sustained growth and profitability.
