Frequently Asked Questions
- Citibank Global Wallet
- Funding Foreign Currency Accounts
- Transactions/ATM withdrawals
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.
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
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.

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.

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.
