PROVIDENCE -- Lawrence K. Fish, a top executive at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, the parent company of Providence-based Citizens Financial Group, promised today that the rapid growth of Citizens would not diminish its connection to Rhode Island.

In a speech at the Business Over Easy Breakfast, sponsored by the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, Fish said Citizens is committed to its Rhode Island-based employees and its charitable initiatives in the state.

"Our roots in the community of Rhode Island are very deep," Fish said. "Citizens began in Rhode Island, it has grown up in Rhode Island."
