This is a mix between an everyday transaction account and multi currency account, so it’s suited to customers who travel overseas a lot or regular send and receive money internationally.
You can hold 10 different currencies in the account, and switch between each depending on where you are in the world.
You’ll also receive individual account details for the foreign currencies held in the account, allowing you to receive money in foreign currencies from the one account. This is super handy if, for example, you're paid in another currency or you receive regular payments from overseas.

Hi,
My pension will be paid in the U.K. but I am planning to live in Australia.
Can you recommend a bank that would best suit my purposes? Thank you!

1-Does the Internet transfer into another bank account attracts fees?
2- interest for other currencies balances?
September 14, 2021
Hi Vaheed,
This account doesn’t charge any transfer fees to send funds however, the bank that’s receiving the money may.
As for interest for other currencies, Citi Global Currency Accounts in a foreign currency do not earn interest.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Alison

Can a business use this account?
September 2, 2019
Hello Cathy,
Thank you for your comment.
I’m afraid that the Citi Global Currency Account is for personal use only and is not available for business use. You may see our page about business bank accounts. There’s a comparison table you can use to find the account that suits you. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button to apply.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
Regards,

If one uses the AUD account in the Citi Global Currency Account card in South East Asia:
1) Can one withdraw AUD from a selected Citi bank branch in SE Asia?
2) If so, are their any costs and/or fees involved
3) Is there a limit on daily AUD withdrawals
4) Does the card provide for swipe/pin withdrawals

Hi Frank,
Thanks for getting in touch! Please see responses to your questions below:
Can one withdraw AUD from a selected Citi bank branch in SE Asia? If so, are there any costs and/or fees involved
No, the card will only dispense the local currency of the country you are in.
Is there a limit on daily AUD withdrawals?
The default limit is $1000 AUD. But you may request to increase your combined ATM withdrawal and EFTPOS limit to $3000 per day. Note that for the fees, no service fees are charged for using Citi-branded ATMs. Other banks may charge you for using their facility.
Does the card provide for swipe/pin withdrawals?
Yes, you can use it for EFTPOS/in-store as well as online purchases. ATM withdrawal will be by inserting the card and entering an ATM PIN.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
