Citigold clients can easily open a Time Deposit at any time. Citigold is available free of charge if you have an average monthly balance of £150,000 (or currency equivalent) across all your Citi UK accounts, including investments, or if you hold an account with Citi International Personal Bank in London or Jersey. If you don't meet either of these criteria, a monthly fee of £75 will apply.

• To open a Time Deposit you must have a Citi current or savings account in the same currency as your Time Deposit - funds will be transferred from this account to open your Time Deposit, and returned at maturity.
• Deposits for the Time Deposit must be made by funds transfer from your nominated Citi savings or current account (excluding Fixed Rate Bond and Time Deposit accounts).
• The Time Deposit is subject to availability and Citi may withdraw the offer at any time.
• We reserve the right to refuse any application to open a Time Deposit.

Some of the important time deposit terms and conditions for new applicants are as follows:-

• Interest rates
  Time deposit interest rates are fixed for the entire term of your deposit and are calculated on a 365 or 360 day basis appropriate to the currency. Interest will accrue daily and will be credited only at maturity.
• Making a deposit
  Your deposit must be made by a funds transfer from your nominated Citi account (cheques will not be accepted).This transfer must be requested at the time of opening the Time Deposit Account.
• Term
  The term of the Account is as agreed with you on your Account opening, and the maturity date will be the first Banking Day following the end of that term.
• Early Termination
  If you terminate your Term Deposit Account before the maturity date, you will incur a charge (except where the account is closed following the death of the account holder). That charge will reflect the cost we reasonably expect to incur at the time you notify us that you will be terminating your Term Deposit Account, as a result of having to replace your deposit at the rate then available in the market for deposits of that size.
• Nominated Citi account
  If your nominated Citi account is no longer open at the time of maturity (or earlier closure), we will transfer any funds due on maturity to another Citi account held by you. If you do not have an appropriate Citi account, we will contact you and ask you to open a Citi account to receive the balance of the Account.
