Online banking can be very convenient and secure if you take a few simple precautions. Here are a few suggestions to help you have a secure online banking experience:

  • Avoid suspicious websites. DO NOT provide any information requested by these sites. When accessing www.ipb.citi.com, type the address directly into the address bar of the browser.
  • Never respond to an email requesting personal information. Remember, we NEVER ask for your personal information, such as user ID, password, PIN, account or passport number by email.
  • Change your password periodically using the password change function in Citibank Online. If you suspect that someone may know your password, change it immediately.
  • Always end your secure session in Citibank Online by clicking 'Sign Off' and closing your browser, especially if you are using your computer in public places, such as internet cafes etc.

We need to ensure that you are the only person that can access your account. When you register we ask for your 16 digit Debit Card number, expiry date (valid thru date), your date of birth and we send a One Time Password via SMS to your mobile phone. Once you have completed the registration process, you can sign in to Citibank Online simply by entering your user ID and password. However, please note that for added security during certain instructions or transactions, we will send you a One Time Password to confirm your request.

Please choose a memorable user ID. To help protect your account there are some criteria to which your user ID must adhere:

  • The length of the user ID must be between six and 50 characters.
  • The characters must be alphanumeric (i.e. only letters from the English alphabet and numbers) and the following special characters: _ @. (underscore, at the rate, full stop).
  • The user ID is not case sensitive (ABC001 is the same user ID as abc001).
  • Your user ID must not be the same as any of your account or Debit Card numbers.

The user ID helper appears when you enter your user ID to confirm that these criteria have been met.

To change your user ID, sign in to Citibank Online and choose My Profile next to the last login information (note that you need to provide the One Time Password so please have your mobile phone to hand).

Please choose a password that you can remember easily but that cannot be guessed from your personal information. We recommend that you change your password regularly.

Your password must meet the following criteria:

  • The length of your password must be between six and 50 characters.
  • The valid characters are alphanumeric (i.e. letters from the English alphabet and numbers) and the following special characters: _ @. (underscore, at the rate, full stop).
  • Your password must contain at least one upper case letter, at least one lower case letter and at least one number.
  • Your password is case sensitive (Abc001 is not the same password as abC001).
  • It must not be the same as any of your account or Debit Card numbers or your user ID.
  • Your Password must not contain three identical characters such as AAA, three sequential digits such as 123 or 321 or three sequential letters such as Abc or cbA.

Before you log in to Citibank Online, there is a link 'Forgot Your Password?' where, after providing the information requested including the One Time Password, you will be able to choose a new password.

We recommend that you regularly change your password. To do so, sign in to Citibank Online and choose My Profile next to the last login information. Note that you will need to provide the One Time Password so please have your mobile phone to hand.

In general no, unless we have given you specific instructions to do so. However, for security reasons we strongly suggest that you change your password regularly.

If we suspect that your user ID and password have been compromised, we will block your user ID. On activation of your new Debit Card, you will need to register again and choose a different user ID and password.

The One Time Password is a security measure which asks you to enter a password which is sent via SMS to protect your account.

When you undertake certain actions using Citibank Online or Citi Mobile® UK App, a screen will pop up and you will be asked to input a One Time Password. An SMS will immediately be sent to your mobile phone that includes a six-digit password, so it is important that you have your mobile phone to hand when using Citibank Online.

You simply enter the password you have received by SMS into the box on the screen. The transaction will go through as normal.

Because you can only complete certain actions by entering the One Time Password, it provides extra reassurance that you are the only person who can use your account.

A wide range of actions will now require the One Time Password. These include:

  • Registration
  • Reminder service for forgotten user ID and Password
  • Resetting and changing your user ID and Password
  • Adding, amending or deleting payee details
  • Fund transfers
  • Changing your Telephone PIN
  • Activating your Debit Card

With some of the actions above you will need to enter a new One Time Password each time you use them. However, others will only request the One Time Password if you haven't already provided it during that session. In all cases it will be made clear when a One Time Password is needed.

The One Time Password text message will be triggered when you attempt certain actions online.

The screen to enter the One Time Password appears as below and you cannot proceed to the next page, or complete your action, until the correct One Time Password is entered into the box on the screen.

You need to contact to Citiphone or your Relationship Manager to ensure your mobile number is up to date.

We send the six-digit password to the mobile phone number that is shown on the screen that pops up when we ask you provide the One Time Password.

It is important that you ensure we have your up-to-date mobile number for this purpose. If the number shown on the screen is incorrect, or you do not receive the One Time Password, please call Citiphone or your Relationship Manager and update your mobile number.

When you provide your mobile number we will use it to send you the One Time Password and we'll also use it to contact you in the event that we suspect fraudulent activity on your account, via text message or a phone call. We regularly monitor accounts for suspicious activity and having your mobile number will ensure you receive these important messages or phone calls quickly if needed.

We won't contact you by mobile for marketing purposes if you told us when you applied for your account, or at a later stage, that you didn't want to receive marketing information. If you have told us that you would like to receive marketing information, we may occasionally contact you on your mobile.
