US Dollar and Euro Current Accounts
 |
Travelling overseas? |
How it works
Simply open a Euro or a Dollar current account and transfer your spending money into that account. If you fund your account in a currency other than the one of your account these funds will be converted into the currency of the account, using Citibank reference exchange rates. You can then withdraw Euros and Dollars or spend them using your Citibank Visa Debit Card when overseas. Spend easy, spend less
- Fee-free purchases abroad in US Dollars or Euros with your Citibank Visa Debit Card*

Giving you the international advantage
With no foreign currency commission charges1 for overseas purchases when you are in a country of the same currency as your account, you could make substantial savings. Credit and debit card providers can charge up to a 2.99% transaction fee for each transaction or withdrawal made outside of the UK. If you're someone who travels frequently, all those charges can soon add up.Trouble-free travels
Not only will you get the added convenience of not having to buy travellers' cheques and exchange currency before and after you travel, but you'll also get the ease and simplicity of spending overseas just as if you were at home+. You will be able to make ATM cash withdrawals and debit card purchases, just as you would in the UK without added foreign transaction fees and fluctuating exchange rates.Safer shopping online

Important Information
1.You may be offered a choice of payment currencies when making purchases or withdrawals. If you do this, the payment will be charged to your account in your chosen currency (and we will only receive details of the amount in that currency). The exchange rates in this case are set by merchants and ATM operators and not by Citibank. Please note that if your chosen currency is different from the currency of your Account, we will convert this amount using the process outlined above.
*Free debit card transactions only apply to US Dollar or Euro denominated transactions carried out in a country where that is the local currency using a debit card linked to a corresponding US Dollar or Euro Current Account. UK residents only.**Citi ATMs are located in selected countries only. View a full list of the location of Citi ATMs worldwide. Fees may apply at non-Citibank ATMs and for withdrawals where the currency withdrawn does not correspond to the currency of the account or is not the local currency of the country in which the withdrawal takes place. Citibank exchange rates apply to transactions across currencies.
