Roger Leslie Farnham was an American banker at National City Bank of New York (predecessor of Citibank). He was involved with attempts to take over Haiti’s national bank.[1] He was instrumental in promoting U.S. intervention in Haiti and promoting the bank's interests there. His role has been described as an example of "racial capitalism".[2]
He was born in Washington D.C. in 1864.[3] He worked for a decade as a lobbyist for corporate law firm Sullivan and Cromwell before joining National City Bank in 1911.[4]
