Citigroup's realty arm is sponsoring a $1.06 billion RMBS of highly seasoned mortgage loans with troubled histories. All of the loans were acquired via a Fannie whole-loan auction.

Jane Fraser, a longtime Citigroup executive, will be the first female CEO of a major Wall Street bank. She succeeds Michael Corbat, who had held the post for eight years.

The bank — which said it has been upgrading its loan operations platform after a review it undertook last year — said it mistakenly transmitted the payments after an employee didn't manually select the correct system options in its loan operation software.

Citigroup scored court orders freezing almost half of the more than $900 million it says was accidentally sent to Revlon lenders this month.

The company has now filed three lawsuits in its bid to recoup nearly $900 million it inadvertently sent to the cosmetic company's creditors.

The bank has begun briefing regulators about how it mistakenly sent payments to creditors of Revlon, the financially strapped cosmetics company. Citi has also filed a lawsuit against Brigade Capital Management seeking to recoup $175 million it sent to Brigade on Revlon's behalf.

The bank has recouped part of the payment, which it blamed on a clerical error, but some of the lenders say they were owed the money in connection with an ongoing dispute.

Policymakers have eased some rules and the Supreme Court recently dealt a blow to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But as the landmark legislation approaches its 10th anniversary, the post-crisis regulatory regime has stayed largely intact.

The single-borrower deal, sponsored by Brookfield, was pulled in the spring due to market conditions that halted most securitizations at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak.

As COVID-19 infections increase across the country, including in California, Citigroup has structured a residential mortgage-backed securities offering fit for the times, providing investors with a strong deal structure and robust collateral.
