In an effort to continue its focus on core operations, Citigroup has sold its interest in three North American partner credit card portfolios, representing about $1.3 billion in managed assets – reported NASDAQ.

 

According to the company, the move is in line with its strategy to consolidate or sell businesses in its Citi Holdings segment, while working to generate long-term profitability and growth from Citicorp.

 

Until the acquirer takes over, Citigroup will continue to service the portfolios through the first half of 2009, added the news source.
