Security

At Citi, we are committed to providing a secured banking experience to all our clients. You can also play a major role in helping us protect your valuable information by understanding the following:

How Citi protects you? > How to protect yourself? > Need help regarding fraud? >

Golden rules for secure banking

Never give out your telephone banking PIN, One Time Passwords or debit card PIN to anyone, even if you believe you are being asked by the Police, a reputable organisation or someone who works at Citi.

Keep your online devices secure at all times. Ensure your PC, tablets and mobile phones have trusted security software installed and ensure you run scans regularly to identify and remove any malware/viruses.

Never click on any links included in SMS text messages or call any numbers that are stated on the message.

Protect yourself against debit card fraud

Shield your PIN when authorising a purchase or withdrawing cash from an ATM.

Don't let anyone else know your PIN or use your card.

If an ATM swallows your debit card, call Citi to report it as lost/stolen whilst you are still at the ATM machine.

Keep a close watch on your transactions. Regularly review transactions on your bank statements to make sure they only reflect the purchases you've made.

Protect Your Personal Information

  • Vishing

    More and more people have been falling for a persuasive phone scam known as 'vishing'. Be alert so you can protect yourself against it.

    Fraudsters have been calling people and posing as someone from a bank's fraud team. They might also say they’re from the police, a telephone or internet service provider, or some other trusted party. The scammers then try to obtain debit card details, internet banking login credentials, bank account details, Telephone PINs, One Time Passwords or other personal information.

    Remember that banks and other legitimate organisations will never ask for your sensitive information. Never give out your telephone banking, online banking or card PIN to anyone who contacts you.

  • SMiShing

    Named for SMS (Short Message Service), the technology used for mobile phone text messaging, SMiShing messages appear to be from a legitimate company and typically contain a link that takes you to a fake website or asks you to call a phone number.

    Even if you don't enter any information, selecting the link can lead to other problems, such as installing key logging software or dangerous viruses on your phone.

  • Phishing

    Phishing emails, also known as hoax or spoof emails are fraudulent emails that appear to come from a trusted source but are in fact designed to trick you into revealing valuable data. If you click on any of the links, they may take you to a fraudulent website where you'll be asked to "update" or "confirm" sensitive information that could leave your accounts at risk.

    Phishing emails may also contain links or attachments that could infect your computer with viruses and malware.

    If we interact or ask for an action from you via email, this will only be to an email to an email you have registered with us. It would be a secured email from DocuSign and we will always authenticate you before seeking information.

Common Threats and Scams

  • Invoice and mandate scams

    In these types of scams, you may receive an email or an invoice from a company or person, that you are expecting and do have to pay, however the scammer has managed to intervene and change the bank details on the bill, invoice or mandate.

    This means you will pay what you think is a legitimate payment however the money will go to the fraudsters account.

    To avoid falling victim to this type of scam always call the company and speak to the company or person you are intending to pay, rather than just reply on the email, bill, invoice or mandate that you receive. Check the amount and the bank details of the person match what is detailed on the invoice, remembering to always call the number that is advertised on the secure website.

  • Remote Access Scam

    A remote access scam occurs when a victim believes that they are speaking to a legitimate business, most commonly their mobile or internet service provider and is convinced to download software which allows a fraudster access to their PC or device. The Victim is then coerced into logging into their bank accounts online, subsequently then giving the fraudster access to their finances.

    Never give remote access to an unsolicited caller and subsequently log into your Citibank online account.

  • Investment/Boiler room fraud

    Share scams are predominately run from boiler rooms; in which fraudster’s cold call their victims with the sole intention to sell non-existent shares. They can be very persuasive and at times forceful in delivering their scam. They will assure high returns on the shares which will never materialise. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is...

  • Romance scams

    Romance fraud is a scam employed by fraudsters into developing an online romance built on lies and deception with the intention to request money from their victim. Fraudsters will build up a relationship and once they have their victims trust they will fabricate elaborate stories to gain money. Eventually they will cease contact with their victims once they have been successful in extracting savings/money from them. This type of scam is on the increase.

Golden rules for secure banking

Never give out your telephone banking PIN, One Time Passwords or debit card PIN to anyone, even if you believe you are being asked by the Police, a reputable organisation or someone who works at Citi.
