PROVIDENCE, R.I., October 16, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CFG or "Citizens") today reported third quarter 2024 financial results.

"We continue to be pleased with the strong execution of our key initiatives during the third quarter," said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. "Our Private Bank reached $5.6 billion in deposits and $4.1 billion in AUM, our NYC Metro region continues to achieve strong growth, and we are close to launching a TOP 10 program with $100 million plus impact. Our balance sheet remains strong across capital, liquidity, funding and loan loss reserves. While Q3 was impacted by the drag from forward-starting swaps that commenced in July, as well as some fees that pushed out to Q4, we project a strong fourth quarter and launch into 2025."
