Citibank Plus

[Cruiser Elite]

Do any of you learned peoples have a Citibank Select card at all?

If YES - does it work OK for you?

I occasionally have to send small amounts of money O/S and this card is advertised with following feature:

• Free international money transfers from Australia to any account, anywhere in the world

I have 28 Degree so no intention of using this card O/S - just thought annually fee free so might just do the job on the 6 to 10 mini amounts I need to transfer each year - your thoughts please?

I have the card but haven't tried an international transfer with it yet. I thought it was only fee free for transfers to another citibank account, and even then only for certain countries. Will have to break out the big eye to check the fine print again.

No it clearly states any babk account any country.

I am pretty certain that somewhere in small print it says the money transfer only applies for Citi to Citi transfers.

That's nice - I have this account and it used to be Citi to Citi international transfers but appears to have changed.

It works OK and never had fees yohy?

I've use the international transfers to non-Citi accounts and can confirm no fee was charged. That was Monday this week.

Non fee by both Citi and receiving bank?

Doubt Citi can control what the receiving bank charge.

I wasn't suggesting they could my friend - on Citi promo it does state 'Receiving Bank may charge fee' - it was a general query I was making.

Hi Cruiser Elite, hope someone with experience with Citi Plus can give you their experience. But my own experience with receiving banks, but not through Citi, is they usually charge fees to receive, often in the region of $5 to $10.

I would feel all warm and fuzzy knowing my relationship manager had a science degree in Physics and Mathematics... :shock:

PS - I'm not special enough to have an RM anywhere (yet)

You might just get a lot warmer and a lot fuzzier if you saw her in person - the gods were very kind to her.

Certainly not without her consent - I will see her again in 2 weeks - will run it by her.

Not sure on the receiving...nothing debited to my account. Haven't had confirmation from the recipient that it has been received yet.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

OK cool - would be interesting to see if their receiving bank charges fee.

I know we get charged a $20 fee I think here in Oz for any incoming foreign transfers.
