After reporting bigger-than-expected fourth quarter losses, the beleaguered banking icon is realigning into two businesses and ending its much-maligned financial supermarket model.


 

The ailing banking giant, perceived as the heart of America's finances, is heralding an end to its financial supermarket model by splitting into two. Smith Barney is the first division to go. Citi is also looking to shed from its traditional arrangement two consumer-finance units, Primerica Financial Services and Citifinancial. It is hiving off unwanted assets and businesses worth more than $850 bn and parting them into a `bad bank' called Citi Holdings. The other part, Citicorp will have its private bank.
