Country Business Manager for Citibank China Simon Chow and Citi China Retail Banking Head Ricky Lin attended the opening ceremony for the new Smart Banking sub-branch.

Simon said, "We are delighted to be expanding in the city of Chengdu where we have enjoyed a long presence and witnessed a fast growing consumer base with evolving and growing financial needs.
