Citi unveils basket of global banking services

MANILA, Philippines - Citibank has unlocked its suite of global banking services to new clients serving their financial needs outside the country and anywhere they go.

 As they hold residence in multiple cities, travel frequently and want access to investment opportunities worldwide, they can benefit from the network of the largest foreign bank, which is marking its 200th year of serving clients around the world. 

 Citibank Philippines retail banking director Vipin Agrawal said that a global citizen would want to have control over his finances wherever he may be while a traveler needs easy access to his funds whenever he needs them.

An investor is always on the lookout for best-in-class research and team of experts for information and insight as he makes his financial decisions.

“We provide all these to our bank clients and you can enjoy the same by starting a relationship with Citibank with P100,000,” Agrawal added.

Clients who relocate to other countries can benefit from the bank’s pre-arrival account opening assistance, and free and real-time Citi Global Transfers to send as much as $10,000 daily to other Citibank accounts abroad via Citibank Online.

With the Global View of Accounts facility, clients can also check all their Citibank accounts in other countries using Citibank Online.

As travelers, clients can enjoy free international cash withdrawals at over 20,000 Citi automated teller machines (ATMs) across the globe and exceptional foreign exchange rates in their destinations.

The ATMs allow local currency withdrawals so clients can get dollars, euros or any local currency of the country they are visiting.

Clients get emergency cash up to $1,000 while abroad so they can feel secure if they get caught in a bind during a trip.

Agrawal added that clients also receive exclusive discounts, rewards and offers at over 40,000 establishments with Citi World Privileges, using a Citibank credit card.

 For those with offshore banking needs, they can tap Citibank’s referral service for specialists from around the world who can respond to their financial needs.

The customers can also access international investment research for short-term and long-term requirements.

“The bank provides multi-currency bank accounts with large withdrawal limits and international access on Citi ATMs,” the Citibank official added.
