Citibanamex Overview

About Citibanamex

Citibanamex is a Mexican bank, now branded Banamex, operating through Grupo Financiero Banamex and its banking subsidiary Banco Nacional de Mexico. It provides retail and commercial banking, credit cards, deposit accounts, investment funds and retirement savings products to individuals and companies across Mexico. Citigroup acquired Grupo Financiero Banamex-Accival in August 2001 for approximately USD 12.5 billion and has since been divesting it. From December 2024 the bank operates under the Banamex brand and has dropped the Citibanamex name gradually. In December 2025 Citi sold about 25% of Banamex to a company owned by Fernando Chico Pardo, who became chairman of the financial group. In February 2026 Citi announced agreements to sell a further 24% to institutional investors, with a public offering of the remainder planned.

Feb 2026SecondaryQatar Investment Authority; Blackstone; Chubb; General Atlantic; Liberty Strategic Capital; Afore SURA MX; Banco BTG Pactual$2.5B$10BOn 23 February 2026 Citi announced agreements with a group of investors who committed to buy, in aggregate, 24% of the outstanding common stock of Banamex, about 499 million shares, at a fixed price of about MXN 43 billion, or about USD 2.5 billion. The buyers include General Atlantic, Afore SURA, Banco BTG Pactual, Chubb, funds managed by Blackstone, Liberty Strategic Capital and the Qatar Investment Authority, with each stake limited to a maximum of 4.9%. The price corresponds to roughly 0.85 times local GAAP book value and 1.01 times tangible book value, and closing was expected during 2026 subject to customary conditions including Mexican antitrust approval. The sale followed the December 2025 closing of a 25% sale to Fernando Chico Pardo, so that once all purchases close Citi will have sold 49% of Banamex. Citi is divesting Banamex, its Mexican consumer, commercial and wealth bank, and plans a public offering of the remaining shares. Banamex is one of Mexico's largest banks, with a nationwide branch network and millions of retail clients.
Sep 2025SecondaryFernando Chico Pardo (lead)$2.3B$9.1BGrupo Financiero Banamex is Mexico's fourth-largest financial group by total assets, founded in 1884, operating a network of 1,300 branches and 9,000 ATMs serving over 13.6 million retail clients with commercial banking, investment services, insurance, and investment management offerings. In September 2025, Citigroup agreed to sell a 25% equity stake in Banamex to Fernando Chico Pardo and members of his family for approximately $2.3 billion (42 billion Mexican pesos), based on a price-to-book ratio of 0.80 times Banamex's local GAAP book value at closing. The transaction was completed on December 15, 2025, after obtaining approvals from Mexico's financial and competition authorities. Following the closing, Chico Pardo was appointed Chairman of Grupo Financiero Banamex, while Manuel Romo continued as CEO and Ignacio Deschamps remained as Chairman of Banco Nacional de México. The sale represents a significant step in Citigroup's strategic divestiture of its Mexican consumer banking operations and the planned initial public offering of Banamex, which Citi originally acquired in 2001 for $12.5 billion.
