 Pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act and final rules issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, a U.S. bank or a U.S. broker-dealer in securities (a "Covered Financial Institution") is required to obtain certain information from any "Foreign Bank" that maintains a correspondent account with it. As permitted by the final rules, Citigroup has prepared a Global Certification for use by any financial institution that believes it requires a Patriot Act Certification from a Citigroup entity, for example, an overseas branch of Citibank, N.A. Please use this Certification instead of asking an individual Citigroup business to complete a separate Certification form. If the particular Citigroup business that maintains a correspondent account with your institution is not listed in our Certification, or if you have any questions with regard to this Certification, please advise us by e-mailing us at usapatriotact@citigroup.com.
