Citi has successfully completed the sale of its consumer business in the Philippines to UnionBank, which is expected to result in a capital benefit of approximately $700m.

The sale covers Citi’s local credit card, unsecured lending, deposit and investment businesses. It also includes Citicorp Financial Services and Insurance Brokerage Philippines Inc. (CFSI), an insurance and investment product service provider.

Citi has also transferred 1,540 consumer bank and supporting employees under UnionBank.
