In today’s fast-paced world, having seamless online access to your bank account is not just a convenience, but a necessity. Citibank understands this need and offers robust online and mobile platforms designed to provide customers with unparalleled access and control over their finances. This guide will walk you through the various benefits of Citibank Online Access, highlighting how it enhances your banking experience across different account tiers.
Citibank provides all customers with access to essential everyday banking features right at their fingertips. Whether you are managing your accounts from home or on the go, Citibank’s digital tools ensure you’re always connected to your finances.
Everyday Benefits of Citibank Online Access
Even without Relationship Tiers, all Citibank customers enjoy a suite of digital benefits designed for everyday banking needs.
Extensive ATM Network: Access cash conveniently with over 65,000 fee-free ATMs across the United States. Citibank customers can withdraw cash, check balances, and transfer funds between linked Citibank accounts without incurring surcharge fees at Citibank ATMs, ATMs in select retail locations, and ATMs within the MoneyPass® Network. It’s important to note that ATMs in retail stores and non-Citi locations may have limited functionalities. Utilize the Citi Worldwide ATM/Branch Locator available on Citibank Online or the Citi Mobile® App to pinpoint the nearest surcharge-free ATMs.
Mobile Convenience with Citi Mobile App and Mobile Check Deposit: The Citi Mobile App extends your banking capabilities to your smartphone. Deposit checks remotely with Mobile Check Deposit, manage your accounts, pay bills, and transfer funds all from the palm of your hand. Citibank does not charge fees for using the Citi Mobile app or Mobile Check Deposit; however, standard wireless carrier charges may apply. Mobile Check Deposit is available for personal checking accounts, subject to eligibility and deposit limits.
Say Goodbye to Overdraft Fees: Citibank’s policy of no overdraft fees offers peace of mind. While the bank encourages responsible account management and awareness of overdraft impacts, you won’t be charged overdraft fees. Keep in mind that overdraft facilities may be limited and accounts can still become overdrawn, potentially leading to Returned Item fees for unpaid deposited checks.
Seamless Payments with Zelle®: Send and receive money quickly and easily with Zelle®, integrated within Citibank Online and the mobile app. Zelle® allows you to send money to almost anyone with a U.S. bank account using just an email address or U.S. mobile phone number. It’s crucial to remember that Zelle® is best for sending money to people you know and trust, as transactions are not protected against fraud or if you don’t receive what you paid for.
Commission-Free Trading with Citi Self Invest: For those interested in investment, Citi Self Invest offers a digital platform for commission-free trading of ETFs. This benefit, available online and via the Citi Mobile® App, excludes leveraged and inverse ETFs and phone trades. While trading is commission-free, remember that ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses detailed in their prospectuses.
