In fact a large part of BankBoston's reputation in corporate America is based on their expertise throughout South America. Citibank is also pretty big, especially in Brazil. When I was with Citi we were earning as much as 1/6 of total bank earnings in Brazil. As management put, Citi was a bigger part of the Brazilian economy than the US economy.

Corresponding banking used to be a very big deal in the US. When I got into banking US banks would have corresponding relationships with banks in other states.
