Citibank Review: Checking, Savings and CDs
Advertiser disclosure


YOU’RE OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
EVERY TIME.

We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with confidence.
And while our site doesn’t feature every company or financial product available
on the market, we’re proud that the guidance we offer, the information we
provide and the tools we create are objective, independent, straightforward —
and free.

So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us. This may influence which
products we review and write about (and where those products appear on the
site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are
grounded in thousands of hours of research. Our partners cannot pay us to
guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. Here is a list of our

CITIBANK REVIEW: CHECKING, SAVINGS AND CDS

Citibank offers many of the perks of a big bank, but with fewer branches than
its peers — and has the typical low rates.

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate
us. This may influence which products we write about and where and how the

4.0

NerdWallet rating NerdWallet's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The
scoring formulas take into account multiple data points for each financial
product and service.


The bottom line:

Citibank has many perks you can expect from a big, national bank, including a
wide range of product offerings and a massive ATM network. But it has fewer
branches than some of its peers, like Wells Fargo and Bank of America, and also
offers mostly low rates.



Best for: Customers who want access to a huge network of free ATMs and a full
menu of banking products in exchange for less competitive rates.



PROS

 * Strong online and mobile features, including budgeting help and many customer
   service options.
 * 65,000+ fee-free ATMs.
 * 1,800+ overseas branches.

CONS

 * Most savings rates tend to be low; better rates available elsewhere.
 * Balance of at least $500 required in basic savings account to waive monthly
   fee, more than some competitors require.
 * U.S. branches (about 700) are fewer than similar-sized peers.

CITI® ACCELERATE SAVINGS

scoring formulas take into account multiple data points for each financial
product and service.

at Citibank, N.A., Member FDIC

APY

0.50%

With $1 minimum balance

Citi® Accelerate Savings earns a higher than average rate on deposits, and
there's no minimum deposit required to open the account. You'll pay a $4.50
monthly fee if you open your Citi® Accelerate Savings account in the Access,
Basic or Elevate Package, but you can waive it by having an average monthly
balance of at least $500. This account is available in select markets only.


CITI® SIMPLE CHECKING

3.5

NerdWallet rating NerdWallet's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The
scoring formulas take into account multiple data points for each financial
product and service.

MONTHLY FEE

$12.00

Waived with $1,500 minimum balance

Citibank's various checking accounts generally come in combination packages with
savings accounts, which have many transaction requirements to avoid fees. But if
you meet those requirements, the account could be worth a look. The monthly fee
for Simple Checking is on the high side, but you can get it waived by setting up
at least one direct deposit and one bill payment per statement period. And you
can make free withdrawals from your account at more than 65,000 ATMs, which is
many more than some other national banks offer.

The checking account in the basic banking package has the best balance of
options to avoid the monthly fee and access to services such as checks.

BANKING EXPERIENCE

4.5

NerdWallet rating NerdWallet's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The
scoring formulas take into account multiple data points for each financial
product and service.

Users can contact the bank 24 hours a day, and its channels include phone, live
chat and Twitter. Branches are plentiful in New York and California but less so
in other states. Citi offers more than 65,000 fee-free ATMs, more than the three
largest national banks offer, combined. It also has multiple Citi-branded credit
cards with cash-back, balance transfer and travel rewards features.

Citibank’s online and mobile tools are strong, offering customers secure access
to convenient financial features. For example, you can link Citi and non-Citi
accounts so you can keep track of where your money is going. The tools also help
with budgeting and goal-setting. The Android and iOS apps earn high user
ratings.


OVERDRAFT FEES

3.0

NerdWallet rating NerdWallet's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The
scoring formulas take into account multiple data points for each financial
product and service.

If you’re a Citi customer, keep your eyes fixed on your checking account. The
bank charges an overdraft fee of $34 up to four times per day, making neglect of
monitoring balances expensive. Some bank accounts don’t charge for overdrafts,
or their fees are much lower and/or are limited to being charged to just once
per day. One Citibank checking account waives overdraft fees, but you have to
give up checks.

If you choose to transfer money from another Citi account to cover an overdraft,
it’s less costly, at $10 a day — or it’s waived for some checking accounts — but
you’re essentially paying to cover a purchase with your own money.

RATING METHODOLOGY

NerdWallet’s overall ratings for banks and credit unions are weighted averages
of several categories: checking, savings, certificates of deposit or credit
union share certificates, banking experience and overdraft fees. Factors we
consider, depending on the category, include rates and fees, ATM and branch
access, account features and limits, user-facing technology, customer service
and innovation. The stars represent ratings from poor (one star) to excellent
(five stars). Ratings are rounded to the nearest half-star.
