Changes in the ACL (December 31, 2025 vs. December 31, 2024)
The total allowance for credit losses on loans, leases, unfunded lending commitments, other assets and HTM debt securities (in aggregate, total ACL) as of December 31, 2025 was $21,373 million, a decrease of $804 million from $22,177 million at December 31, 2024, driven by the reclassification of AO Citibank to held-for-sale, including the related ACL, resulting from Citi’s planned sale of AO Citibank (which was sold on February 18, 2026), largely offset by ACL builds and changes in FX during the year.

Consumer ACLL
Citi’s total consumer allowance for credit losses on loans (ACLL) as of December 31, 2025 was $16,194 million, an increase of $176 million from $16,018 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by changes in the macroeconomic outlook, FX translation on the ACLL and higher volume, largely offset by changes in credit quality.

Corporate ACLL
Citi’s total corporate ACLL as of December 31, 2025 was $3,053 million, an increase of $497 million from $2,556 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by changes in credit quality, changes in the macroeconomic outlook and higher net lending activity.


ACLUC
As of December 31, 2025, Citi’s total allowance for unfunded lending commitments (ACLUC), included in Other liabilities, was $1,833 million, an increase of $232 million from $1,601 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by changes in the macroeconomic outlook, changes in credit quality and higher net lending activity.

ACL on Other Assets
As of December 31, 2025, Citi’s total allowance on other assets was $147 million, a decrease of $1,718 million from $1,865 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by the reclassification of AO Citibank to held-for-sale, including the related ACL, resulting from Citi’s planned sale of AO Citibank (which was sold on February 18, 2026).
