Citibank Global Wallet is a new feature linked to your Citibank Debit Mastercard which allows you to make purchases overseas at point-of-sale or online, and withdraw cash from Citi proprietary ATMs without incurring additional foreign currency conversion fees and admin fees. You can access multiple currencies with this new feature.

For example, with Citibank Global Wallet turned on, if you are travelling to Hong Kong and have a HKD Foreign Currency Account with us, any HKD transactions or cash withdrawals will be debited directly from your HKD Foreign Currency Account at no additional conversion fees.

You can save on additional foreign currency conversion fees and admin fees.

For example, if you are making a 100 USD retail transaction online, it will be debited directly from your Citibank USD account. If you had previously converted the foreign currency at a rate of 1.36 SGD/USD, your transaction would be locked down at the specific rate.

* The above table illustrates the same retail transaction using a credit card at spot rate (left) and Citibank Global Wallet on your debit card (right). Rates used and displayed above are indicative and used purely for illustration purposes. No representation is made of actual rates charged during the transaction.

In addition to Singapore Dollar, you can transact in multiple other foreign currency accounts: Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, New Zealand Dollar, Sterling Pound, US Dollar, UAE Dirham, South African Rand, Swedish Krona, Norwegian Krone and Danish Krone.

You can identify DCC transactions with "(DCC)" beside the transaction in your statement as below:
