This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2422 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,800, and Citi is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4123 (Bank and post office clerks, Client service queries and administrative tasks), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Citi what the duties actually are.
