Citi Jordan and Inclusive Finance: Advancing Financial Access for 10,000 Women
By Nour Jarrar, CCO Citi Jordan and Kyla Gineitis, Vice President, Citi Inclusive Finance January 24, 2019 04:30 PM
Despite significant progress in expanding financial access for underserved communities across the globe, one billion women remained unbanked in 2018, according to Global Findex data from the World Bank. Jordan is one country that in recent years has successfully advanced financial inclusion for women. In 2018, 26.6% of women in Jordan had a bank account, an increase of more than 10% since 2014 (15.5%). With just over one in ten women in Jordan participating in the formal economy, however, much more needs to be done to ensure that more women gain access to financial services.

Global Pay Equity at Citi
By Sara Wechter, Head of Human Resources January 16, 2019 09:00 AM
Citi’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is longstanding. Last year, Citi was the first financial institution to publicly release the results of a pay equity review comparing compensation of women to men, and U.S. minorities to U.S. non-minorities. Our review was conducted in three countries representing 36% of our workforce, with a commitment to do the work across all countries where we currently have colleagues. We did this because we believe increasing our transparency in this critical area is the best way to hold ourselves accountable for making progress.
