(1)    The definition of maximum exposure to loss is included in the text that follows this table.
(2)    Included on Citigroup’s June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3)    A significant unconsolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company has any variable interest or continuing involvement considered to be significant, regardless of the likelihood of loss.
(4)    Citigroup mortgage securitizations also include agency and non-agency (private label) re-securitization activities. These SPEs are not consolidated. See “Re-securitizations” below for further discussion.
(5)     Included within this line are loans to third-party-sponsored private equity funds, which represent $136.5 billion and $138.7 billion in unconsolidated VIE assets and $2.0 billion and $1.7 billion in maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The previous tables do not include:

certain investment funds for which the Company provides investment management services and personal estate trusts for which the Company provides administrative, trustee and/or investment management services;
certain third-party-sponsored private equity funds to which the Company provides credit facilities. The Company has no decision-making power and does not consolidate these funds, some of which may meet the definition of a VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is generally limited to a loan or lending-related commitment. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to these transactions was $10.0 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively (see Note 12 and Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2025 Form 10-K);
certain VIEs structured by third parties in which the Company holds securities in inventory, as these investments are made on arm’s-length terms;
certain positions in mortgage- and asset-backed securities held by the Company, which are classified as Trading account assets, Investments or Loans, in which the Company has no other involvement with the related securitization entity deemed to be significant (see Notes 11, 12 and 21);
certain representations and warranties exposures in Citigroup residential mortgage securitizations, in which the original mortgage loan balances are no longer outstanding; and
VIEs such as preferred securities trusts used in connection with the Company’s funding activities. The Company does not have a variable interest in these trusts.

Consolidated VIEs
The Company engages in on-balance sheet securitizations, which are securitizations that do not qualify for sales treatment; thus, the assets remain on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, and any proceeds received are recognized as secured liabilities. For additional information on consolidated VIES, see Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2025 Form 10-K.
The following tables present assets and liabilities related to consolidated VIEs, which are included on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of consolidated VIEs. In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs include only third-party balances and exclude intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation. The liabilities also exclude amounts where creditors or beneficial interest holders have recourse to the general credit of Citigroup.

Credit Card Securitizations
The Company securitizes credit card receivables through two revolving master trusts established to purchase the receivables. These trusts are consolidated entities given Citi’s continuing involvement. For additional information, see Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Consumer Loan Securitizations
Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, Citi relaunched a program securitizing other consumer loans into asset-backed securities. The principal securitized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.6 billion and $0.8 billion, compared to $0.3 billion and $0.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The proceeds from new securitizations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $0.6 billion and $0.8 billion, compared to $0.3 billion and $0.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The gains recognized on the securitization of consumer loans were $2.6 million and $14.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)
In connection with the securitization of mortgage loans, Citi generally retains the servicing rights, which entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Citi retains ownership of the servicing rights and engages with a third-party subservicer to perform servicing activities on Citi’s behalf. Accordingly, Citi continues to recognize the MSR asset and remains responsible for oversight of the servicing performed by the subservicer. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual requirements may lead to the termination of the servicing rights and the loss of future servicing fees. These transactions create intangible assets referred to as MSRs, which are recorded at fair value on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 21 for the valuation of MSRs). The MSRs correspond to principal loan balances of $60 billion and $57 billion as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company receives fees during the course of servicing previously securitized mortgages. The amounts of these fees were as follows:

In the Consolidated Statement of Income these fees are primarily classified as Commissions and fees, and changes in MSR fair values are classified as Other revenue.

Re-securitizations
The Company engages in re-securitization transactions backed by either residential or commercial mortgages in which debt securities are transferred to a VIE in exchange for new beneficial interests. Citi did not transfer non-agency (private label) securities to re-securitization entities, nor did Citi hold retained interests in such securitizations, during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Citi held no retained interests in private label re-securitization transactions structured by Citi.
The Company also re-securitizes U.S. government-agency-guaranteed mortgage-backed (agency) securities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, Citi transferred agency securities with a fair value of approximately $10.2 billion and $18.6 billion to re-securitization entities, compared to approximately $6.7 billion and $13.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in agency re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $2.5 billion (including $1.6 billion related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2026), compared to $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 (including $1.9 billion related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2025), which is recorded in Trading account assets. The original fair values of agency re-securitization transactions in which Citi holds a retained interest as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were approximately $92.8 billion and $83.4 billion, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not consolidate any private label or agency re-securitization entities.

Citi-Administered Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Conduits
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the commercial paper conduits administered by Citi had approximately $20.0 billion and $19.2 billion of purchased assets outstanding and unfunded commitments of approximately $16.2 billion and $17.5 billion, respectively.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the weighted-average remaining maturities of the commercial paper issued by the conduits were approximately 66 and 58 days, respectively.
The conduits have obtained letters of credit from the Company that total approximately $2.0 billion and $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In the event that defaulted assets exceed the credit enhancements described above, any losses in each conduit are allocated first to the Company and then to the commercial paper investors.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company owned $8.2 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively, of the commercial paper issued by its administered conduits. The Company’s investments were not driven by market illiquidity and the Company is not obligated under any agreement to purchase the commercial paper issued by the conduits.

Municipal Securities Tender Option Bond (TOB) Trusts
Municipal TOB trusts are consolidated VIEs that hold fixed- or floating-rate, taxable or tax-exempt securities issued by state and local governments and municipalities. TOB trusts finance the purchase of their municipal assets by issuing two classes of certificates: long-dated, floating rate certificates (Floaters) that are putable at par pursuant to a liquidity facility and residual interest certificates (Residuals). The Floaters are purchased by third-party investors, typically tax-exempt money market funds, and the Residuals are purchased by the
Company and provide the Company with the unilateral power to cause the sale of the bonds held by a TOB trust.
Approximately $3.5 billion and $2.9 billion of putable Floaters issued by consolidated TOB trusts are reflected in Short-term borrowings at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.




Asset-Based Financing
The primary types of Citi’s asset-based financings, total assets of the unconsolidated VIEs with significant involvement and Citi’s maximum exposure to loss are presented below. For Citi to realize the maximum loss, the VIE (borrower) would have to default with no recovery from the assets held by the VIE.
