What is Citizens Bank also known as?
Citizens Bank is most formally recognized as "Citizens Bank, N.A." (National Association). It is the primary operating subsidiary of Citizens Financial Group, Inc., a major financial services company based in Providence, Rhode Island. The bank traces its origins back to 1828 when it was established as the High Street Bank in Providence. Through a long history of expansion, acquisitions, and restructuring—including the 1871 establishment of the Citizens Savings Bank—it eventually consolidated into the Citizens Trust Company, which evolved into the present-day Citizens Financial Group. While the brand is simply known as "Citizens" or "Citizens Bank" to most consumers, its legal and corporate identity is tied to the Citizens Financial Group, which operates a vast network of retail banking branches across 11 northeastern U.S. states.
