Citibank Plus Everyday Account

finder.com.au is an online comparison service so we can’t recommend specific products to you.

I’m very new to all of this and am wondering if you can tell me how I would find out the exchange rate I will receive if I put money into this card. For example if I put $10,000 on."]
For the Citibank Plus Everyday account, the Mastercard exchange rate is used at the time of transaction. This exchange rate has a commission built into it, which means that you don’t pay any additional fees on top of the rate.

The Citibank Plus account is a fee-free everyday account. In the event that your card is lost or stolen, you will need to contact Citibank directly.

For fee-free overseas withdrawals, you will need to withdraw from a Citibank-branded ATM in Scandinavia. Bear in mind that while Citibank might not charge you for overseas withdrawals, the owner of the ATM machine might.

If you visit the Citibank website, you can locate your nearest ATM or branch anywhere in the world by using their ‘Find Citi Locations.’ Please note that although Citibank will not charge a fee for withdrawals from Citibank-branded ATMS, some ATMS may owner charge fees.

You will need to ensure that you have sufficient funds in your Plus account to make transactions overseas. There are no currency conversion fees or international transaction fees applicable when using the Citibank Plus Debit MasterCard overseas. Citibank will not charge you ATM fees when using any ATM overseas. Please kindly note that non-Citibank ATM owners may charge a fee for use of their ATM.

With the Citibank Plus account, they change no foreign transaction fees and no international ATM withdrawal fees for purchases overseas. However, please note that while Citibank may not charge you for overseas withdrawals, the owner of the ATM machine might charge a fee. Citibank Global Transfers allows you to convert currency at the exchange rate specified to you on Citibank Online before you confirm your transaction. This exchange rate includes a commission for the conversion service.

Both statements are correct. In most cases you’ll find that the ATM operator will charge a fee.

There is a Citibank branch located in Auckland – unfortunately Citibank Australia don’t have any partners overseas.

The Citibank Plus account uses MasterCard exchange rates.

Unfortunately no, you need to withdraw from a Citibank-branded ATM for fee-free withdrawals.

There’s a daily limit of $1,000 which you can withdraw or spend from this account, as well as a daily transfer limit of $10,000. You can change these at anytime by calling Citibank.

Unfortunately its only possible to have two Citibank debit cards linked to the one account. This is because there is a maximum of two people per joint account. Either your daughter or son-in-law will need to get their own Citibank Plus account.

The Citibank Plus account doesn’t attract any currency conversion fees.

Your Citibank Plus debit card can be used at ATMs, retailers or any other location that accept MasterCard. Spain also has a number of Citibank-branded ATMs where you can withdraw your money fee-free.

It doesn’t need to be verified to use overseas, but it would be good to tell Citibank about your plans to travel beforehand. Two cards are provided for a joint account.

Please note that finder.com.au is an online comparison and information service and does not represent Citibank. This card is actually a debit card, not a travel card. It only holds AUD and there are no fees for ‘reloading’ into this account.

There is no annual fee on the Citibank Plus account.

If your Citibank Plus account has not been operated on by deposit or withdrawal for a period of at least 6 months, and your account is either in debit (apart from a secured overdraft) or has a nil balance, Citibank may close your account without any prior written notice to you.

A Multi Currency Account can hold both USD and EUR. Please note that finder.com.au is an online comparison service and is not in a position to recommend specific products, providers and services.

Please note that finder.com.au is an online comparison service and is not in a position to recommend specific products, providers and services. You can use the debit card wherever MasterCard is accepted, including ATMs and merchants. MasterCard has one of the biggest networks worldwide.

As the age requirement for this account is 18, you may want to consider getting your one of your parents to apply as a joint account with you.

This card doesn’t charge currency conversion fees.

Please note that finder.com.au is an online comparison service and does not represent Citibank. It’s likely that you’ll be charged a foreign ATM operate fee is you use a non-Citibank ATM to take out money, this can go up to a few dollars. There are no currency conversion fees charged. You can apply for this card online, but if you’re a new customer Citibank will require that you visit a branch to show 100 points of ID. There’s no charge to transfer any left over funds electronically when you return.

Unfortunately the best decision regarding this will ultimately come from how important different features are to you. The Citibank Plus will not charge you for overseas ATM withdrawals, whereas many travel money cards do. On the other hand, as you mentioned, the exchange rate isn’t locked in like a travel money card is. You might start by weighing up the difference ATM fees will cost you compared to the cost of the exchange rate dropping and see which option would be cheaper.

This account is able to be opened as a joint account, as long as both applicants are eligible, meaning they are over 18 years old and have a valid email address and Australian residential address.

As long as you satisfy the eligibility criteria mentioned below, your MasterCard won’t be a problem with Citibank. - Be over 18 years of age - Valid email and Australian residential address - If applying with a joint account holder, they will need to supply their details too - The account must be opened for personal use only - You will need to supply at least two forms of identification: Australian driver’s licence, Medicare card or Passport.

There should be no problem as long as you use the card at locations which accept MasterCard. The withdrawals will be free from Citibank regardless of which ATM you use, although some ATMs will charge owner fees which you will need to check before withdrawing.

I would recommend reading the terms and conditions for your son’s particular bank. Some banks set a refund period much shorter than this, but your bank may have set this 6-8 week period in their terms and conditions for their MasterCard product. I would also recommend regularly touching base with the bank during the time taken to organise the refund to see if there is any way of speeding it up.

Citibank has a fraud protection service called Fraudshield which may be able to help in this situation. It works similar to the fraud protection services other banks use – your account will be monitored for suspicious or irregular transactions e.g purchases made overseas, and if something is found, you’ll be contacted immediately to verify if you’ve made the transaction or if it is from a fraudulent source.

Unfortunately, this is up to the bank and the card scheme (Visa, MasterCard etc) to decide. What they’re most likely doing right now is investigating the transaction, figuring out where it came from and at what time, and then using other information to come to a decision as to who is liable. In most cases, if the cardholder didn’t act in contrary to the card terms of use then they will be not be liable and will be reimbursed. Good luck with this issue and please let us know when it is resolved.

You can withdraw a maximum of $1,000 each day, and the daily transfer limit is $10,000 with this account.

Unfortunately, as we’re not Citibank, we’re unable to help you with applying for a US-based account. I’d recommend contacting Citibank directly to talk about your options for setting up an account overseas.

This card can be used overseas in Italy to purchase items in stores and withdraw money at ATMS (I used it myself in Italy last year).

Unfortunately to be eligible for this account you must be a permanent resident of Australia and have a valid Australian residential address.

You will be able to apply for the Citibank Plus by clicking on the ‘Go to Site’ buttons on this page. Note that you can identify yourself online, but if this is unsuccessful you may need to identify yourself in person at a Citibank branch or Australia Post branch.

You may be able to obtain a form from Citibank to change your individual account to a joint one. Please get in touch with them directly to enquire about this.

Unfortunately this account is only available for those at least 18 years old. You could potentially open a joint account and have your daughter as the joint account holder. Alternatively you could open one in your name and let your daughter use the card.

He may have been locked out if he didn’t inform Citibank Australia that he was temporarily leaving the country. Alternatively, there could have been security breaches that caused the account to be locked. If he’s not having any luck with the customer service team over the phone, you may want to visit your local branch on his behalf to try and resolve the issue. Please also check that he has sufficient funds in his account and that he has been trying to use an ATM with the MasterCard logo on it.

Citibank can assist you with opening your account before you leave Australia. While the Australian Citibank Plus Transaction account won’t charge you for international money transfers, you’ll need to check with Citibank Uruguay will charge a fee for receiving the funds. It’s most likely that if you transfer funds into your Uruguay account that the funds will be in Pesos, so you won’t need to exchange the currency – but it’s best to confirm this with Citibank before committing to the product.

Please note that exchange rates are incredibly volatile and change all the time. You’ll receive a your account number once you’ve completed the online application form. It typically takes up to 5-7 working days for your welcome pack to arrive that will contain your Debit Master Card.

Citibank Australia doesn’t charge any fees of international money transfers (exchange rates will apply), but just double check with your American bank to see if they charge fees for receiving the money. The maximum amount you can transfer internationally is included in your daily transfer limit.

You need to use a Citibank (not MasterCard) branded ATM for fee-free withdrawals. If you use a non-Citibank ATM, then a foreign ATM fee will most likely be charged.

Citibank Australia doesn’t have any partner ATMs overseas. However, Citibank has a number of ATMs in Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia that you’ll be able to withdraw money from for free.

Unfortunately we can only provide general advice regarding the products we compare. Using a credit card for purchases could mean that you’re charged interest, so it just depends on your daughter’s spending style and her ability to make her repayments. Generally, when choosing ‘credit’ with a debit card means that the purchase has purchase protection and a zero liability policy. It adds a level of security to your purchases, but this feature is not available with all debit cards in the market. It advisable to check with Citibank to see if this feature is included.

There are no fees for the following: Card Issue, Account Open, Initial Load, Reload, Transfer between Currencies (because this account only holds AUD), Purchase Transaction, Cross Currency Conversion Fee, Card Replacement, Emergency Cash Advance (because it’s not a credit card), Transfer to Transaction Account, and Card Closure. If you withdraw money out of a Citibank branded ATM in Germany you won’t be charged a fee for going so. Otherwise a foreign ATM fee will most likely be charged. Unfortunately Citibank Australia doesn’t have any sister banks internationally. It’s also not possible to deposit Euros into this account. Once you’ve returned to Australia and there are still left over funds in your account, you can transfer it back into your normal Australian transaction account, or withdraw the funds from an Citibank ATM.

You’ll need to supply information about yourself including your Driver’s Licence number, place of birth, address, contact details, tax file number (you don’t have to provide this but tax will be deducted at the highest marginal rate if you don’t), and also details about your job. You must provide two forms of identification that will prove that you are identified in Australia. One of these items has to be a form of photo identification. Once your application is completed you’ll receive your card and PIN within 5 – 7 business days.

Please note that finder.com.au is an online comparison service. We don’t actually issue any of the products ourselves. It’s best for you to get in touch with Citibank directly to see if they can issue you the card within 5 business days.

Cash withdrawals for CBA accounts attract a fee of AUD$5.00 plus 3% of the transaction value (at the time of writing). Unfortunately we don’t recommend specific products, services or providers though you can compare a range of providers here that provide accounts to non-residents. It might be a good idea to check their overseas ATM withdrawal fees before committing to anything.

I’ll answer your question in corresponding points to make it easier to see: 1. This account charges no currency exchange fee. There is a margin as part of the exchange rate, which you can work out by seeing the MasterCard exchange rates, which is what the card uses. 2. Yes, the card is a regular debit card, meaning it will have your name printed on it, and has a security chip inbuilt. 3. There are no Citibank international ATM withdrawal fees, meaning the only fee you need to worry about is the local ATM fee. 4. The daily withdrawal limit is $1,000, and the daily transfer limit is $10,000. 5. No, there are no fees for making deposits, inactivity or closing your account. As I mentioned, this account is a debit card, not a travel money card, meaning many of the fees usually charged by a travel card are not charged by this fee-free transaction account.

If the ATM has a ‘plus’ symbol on it you can hit savings, if not you can select credit to withdraw money from an overseas ATM.

You’re unable to use BPAY to transfer funds onto your Debit MasterCard, you’ll need to use a direct debit transfer to credit your account. When you’ve done this you’ll be able to access these funds via your Debit MasterCard.

This account doesn’t charge fees for withdrawing from an ATM. It does allow you to deposit and transfer from this account to different bank accounts. There’s no extra insurance on this card, but as is the case with all Mastercards, it’s covered by Mastercard’s Zero Liability policy, which means that if you follow the conditions of use for this card you will not be held at fault for any fraudulent transactions. This means you’ll also receive provisional credit to cover any losses within five business days. If your card is stolen you can contact Citibank to have your account blocked and a new card issued.

No conversion fees apply to that withdrawal but you may be charged a foreign ATM fee. Citibank-branded ATMs allow fee-free withdraws for Citibank cards.

You can search for Citibank ATMs and branches across the globe by using findmyciti.

As mentioned, the commission would be included in the exchange rate, which would make up some of the difference between the rate Mastercard offers and the prevailing rate available on the foreign exchange market. According to the Mastercard website, they charge financial institutions between 0.15 to 1% when the global payment system is used, so the amount of commission charged could vary. This would then be combined with the exchange rate to give you the final rate available on the Mastercard website. There are no fees added to a global transfer with this account. Your funds will be exchanged at the Mastercard rate applicable at the time of transfer, and as the fine print mentions, this will include a commission, so there are no additional fees added to this transfer. To find out the Mastercard exchange rate for the day please visit this page.

This card doesn’t charge fees for buying anything in store overseas. There won’t be any fees, though the exchange rates will apply.

On the Citibank website it states that, “You’ll receive a your account number once you’ve completed the online application form. Check the mail within 5-7 working days for your Welcome Pack which will contain your new Debit Mastercard, ATM PIN and CitiPhone Banking Telephone PIN (TPIN).” You can also check the status of your application.

If the ATM isn’t a Citibank ATM you may have to pay ATM owner fees, which are separate from the bank’s own ATM fee which they charge to their own customer. It should be noted that not every country and not every ATM will come with these fees. In answer to your second question, this will depend on the bank your account is with, and the type of account you use to transfer funds. Most Australian everyday accounts will allow you to transfer to another Australian bank account free of charge, but again this will depend on the account you have. It’s recommended that you notify Citibank of the locations you’ll be travelling to and the dates you’ll be travelling. As you mention, this will reduce the chance of Citibank placing a preemptive block on your account if they see charges being put on the card in a faraway location (a telltale sign that your card details have been stolen). There’s a daily limit of $1000 which you can withdraw from this account, as well as a daily transfer limit of $10,000.

This account uses the current Debit Mastercard exchange rate when you exchange funds.

Yes you can open a joint account online. There are no international transaction fees for this account but your funds will be subject to Citibank’s Exchange Rates.

The 2.5% transaction fee doesn’t apply to the Citibank Plus Account when withdrawing funds or using the card to make a purchase in store.

If you’re using an overseas ATM, withdrawals from a Citibank-branded ATM won’t incur a fee. Using a non-Citibank branded ATM will incur the foreign operator ATM fee.

Citibank do not charge ATM fees regardless of which ATM machine you use so you can use whichever you happen to come across.

1. Yes, this account uses the Mastercard exchange rate at the time of purchase. 2. No, you will not be charged ATM owner fees if using a Citibank ATM. 3. The answer to this will depend on how long you’re going to be staying in America and how often you’ll be making withdrawals at ATMs.

This is correct, if you use the Australian Citibank card you’ll be converting funds on the spot into American dollars, which could be a problem if exchange rates get worse during the time you’re there. Keep in mind that to open an American account you’ll usually need to provide a social security number as well as other identification. Citibank offer some checking accounts which give you free ATM use of non-Citibank ATMs worldwide, so you may want to compare these too. In terms of pros and cons, taking out a Citibank Australia account will give you an account which you can use worldwide without fees and which you may find useful if you do other overseas travelling. As you mention, a Citibank US account will not require continuous conversion of funds into US dollars like the Australian account, but may charge hefty monthly fees if you’re not completing qualifying direct deposits or bill payments or if you don’t fulfil their balance requirements. The Citibank website puts these fees for the Citibank Basic Checking account at $10 a month if conditions aren’t met. I’d recommend conducting a comparison of American bank accounts before settling on one option, or perhaps taking both!

You’ll receive your card within 5 – 7 days. In response to the second question, this will depend on your employer, as they might incur fees transferring to an Australian bank account.

This is correct, although it’s wise to remember that some ATMs will charge ATM owner fees so depending on the ATM you may have to pay these fees.

There are no conversion fees for this product when making a purchase at a store or withdrawing cash at an ATM.

Unfortunately it is very hard to comment to comment on exchange rates as they are very volatile. To compare exchange rates, please log onto the official site respectively and search for ‘current exchange rates’ – this should generate pages of their rates, but be mindful that these will change all the time.

When you open your Citibank Plus Transaction account, there is a daily limit imposed on your debit card. However, you can change this to any amount you like by contacting Citibank directly.

This account is only available for personal account holders. Citibank offers a range of business banking options, or you might also want to compare other business accounts.

Unfortunately I can’t give personal advice regarding what specific options you should take overseas, but generally speaking the combination of a credit card and transaction/prepaid travel card is one which gives an excellent combination of security, backup options and flexibility while travelling.

Unfortunately I can’t recommend one product specifically for your travels, but if you want to use your own money a debit/prepaid travel card can be a great choice for travelling. Furthermore, the Citibank Plus doesn’t charge international ATM or conversion fees.

There are no international ATM fees when using the Citibank Plus account, although there might be ATM owner fees depending on which ATM is used.
