Citigroup Inc.’s dealmakers have been keeping busy with family offices looking to get in on the blank-check frenzy. Now the lender wants to bring its private bank a piece of the action.

Citigroup encouraged its banking, capital markets and advisory business this week to begin cross-selling private-banking services to clients. Last year, the bank established a joint venture between the two divisions in the hopes of deepening ties with customers.
