- Jan 14, 2026−20,000 cutMixedFinance · US
Citigroup is targeting roughly 20,000 job cuts by the end of 2026. The headline figure dates to a January 2024 management reorganization, but the bank has since tied the ongoing headcount decline to AI: CFO Mark Mason said he expects headcount to keep falling 'as AI tools and streamlined processes take hold', and CEO Jane Fraser said in January 2026 that technology and process simplification will mean some roles 'will no longer be required'. Logged mixed, with low confidence: AI is a stated driver of the continuing decline rather than the origin of the 20,000 target.
