Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Citibank Global Wallet?

    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 up to 10 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.
  • How can I benefit from Citibank Global Wallet?
    Citibank Global Wallet is beneficial when you are:
    Travelling overseas for holidays, family visits or work
    Making online purchases from international websites
    Transferring foreign currencies for payments or investments

  • Are there any charges or transaction fees when using Citibank Global Wallet?

    There are no third party or international transaction fees when utilizing your Citibank Global Wallet feature at point-of-sale or online shopping. There will also not be any foreign exchange conversion fees and withdrawal fees at any Citi proprietary ATMs worldwide or when you transfer funds to another Citibank account.

    Please note that even after you have linked your Citibank Debit Mastercard to your Citibank Global Wallet, you may still be given an option for currency conversion during ATM cash withdrawals or POS transactions due to the Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC)1 process imposed by other banks on overseas transactions. You should reject currency conversion options to avoid incurring additional fees/charges.

    DCC is a service that may be offered by a Merchant or Acquirer that enables a Cardholder – when travelling abroad or making a transaction that is not in their home currency (i.e SGD) – to choose whether their transaction should be completed in either the local currency or their home currency (i.e SGD). If home currency is selected, you will incur a Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) fee charged by the Acquirer with the foreign currency cash withdrawal debited from your Primary account. You can identify DCC transactions with "(DCC)" beside the transaction in your statement as below:

    MaxiSave 09107XXXXX SGD

    Cash withdrawals at non-Citi proprietary ATMs overseas will incur a service charge of S$7 per cash withdrawal charged in the equivalent foreign currency. The amount withdrawn may also be subjected to administrative fees by the acquiring bank or associations at their sole discretion.
  • Why am I still charged a fee when I transfer foreign currencies to an account overseas?

    Payments and transfer to any Citibank account overseas via our Citibank Global Transfer (CGT) is fee-free. However, transfer to non-Citibank accounts overseas will incur a $30 cable fee per transaction, excluding any commission and handling charges by the Correspondent bank.
  • How can I check on the transactions made in any foreign currency account?

    You can easily keep track of all your transactions performed by accessing Citibank Online or Citi Mobile® App.
Terms and Conditions Your use of the Citibank Debit Mastercard is governed by the Citibank Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions as set out in the Citibank Singapore Global Consumer Banking Terms and Conditions. For Citibank Debit Mastercard Terms and Conditions, please visit www.citibank.com.sg. Your Citibank Debit Card comes with a daily point of sales limit that is set at S$2,000. This limit is shared between signature-based, contactless payments (e.g. Mastercard Contactless and payments made using digital wallets) and card not present transactions (including mail and phone orders). You may choose to increase/decrease this limit upon activation of your Citibank Debit Card. Notwithstanding the limit that you set, the limit on your Citibank Debit Card will remain subject to your available bank balance. Where we allow your Citibank Debit Card to be tagged to any Foreign Currency Accounts and used for any and/or all foreign currency funds in the Foreign Currency Accounts, all foreign currency transactions and Cash Withdrawals will be directly authorized from the respective Foreign Currency Account in the foreign currency directly provided that there are sufficient funds in the relevant foreign currency. In the event that you have performed a Cash Withdrawal and/or Card Transaction in a different currency from the Foreign Currency Account tagged to your Citibank Debit Mastercard or have insufficient funds in your Foreign Currency Account, the transaction will be subject to an administrative fee of up to 2.5% on the converted amount, or such other rate as determined and notified to you. Only customers holding an Individual Account or a Joint Account operated with a single signing authority are eligible to open additional accounts online. Customers holding Joint Accounts with single signing authority but in the name of three or more persons, or Joint Accounts with joint signing authority cannot open additional accounts online. Please visit the branch for assistance with account opening. Where your Citibank Debit Card has Mastercard Card Transaction functionality enabled, you acknowledge and accept that the Citibank Debit Card carries risk of unauthorized signature-based, contactless payments (e.g. Mastercard Contactless and other payments made using digital wallets) or card not present transactions. If you choose to make a Card Transaction payment via the Mastercard Network, you will be bound by the relevant rules governing such transactions including but not limited to rules governing chargeback and dispute resolution. With effect from 15 November 2014, the EPINS direct debit payment service will be discontinued and you will no longer be able to make EPINS point-of-sale debit payment transactions on your Citibank Debit Card. Please note that the EPINS service is offered by Card Alliance Pte Ltd. Please note that your privileges, rewards and/or services will differ depending on your choice of debit network. Double Swiping is a term used to describe the act of a second swipe of a payment card at a Point-of-Sale terminal after the first swipe to obtain initial authorization from the bank. The second swipe effectively exposes your Citibank Debit Card's magnetic stripe full track data to compromise. You acknowledge and accept that double swiping the magnetic stripe of your Citibank Debit Card on Point-of-Sale readers or Electronic Cash Registers increases the risk of skimming and/or cloning and hence the theft of your sensitive payment card data.
