Citigroup Inc. has advised employees at its offices in Paris and Frankfurt to work from home, a company spokesperson confirmed on Thursday, April 2, 2026. The directive comes as several US financial institutions in major European cities enhance their security protocols.
The precautionary measures follow recent security alerts and a general climate of heightened vigilance. While specific threats prompting the move were not detailed by the bank, the action aligns with increased security postures observed across the sector.
Other American banks with significant operations in European capitals are also reported to be reviewing their security arrangements, though Citigroup's work-from-home order appears to be among the most direct responses implemented this week.
The bank stated that it is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates to staff as necessary. Operations and client services are continuing without interruption.
