Citibank card how do I.................

[kazdav]

So I have my shiny new $ Citibank card.

How do I check the rate that is on offer with them?

How do I fund the account?

I thought I would be able to just click on a page that let me put in my regular debit card details and the amount I want to pay in.

Help please

I haven't figured out how to see the rate!

To fund it you have to go to whatever bank account you're funding it from and do the payment from there. Takes a couple of days, and you get the rate it is when the money enters your citibank account, rather than what the rate was when you transferred it, so if it drops dramatically after its left your account there is nothing you can do.

I picked the wrong time to make a transfer, did it a couple of weeks ago and from my workings out got around 1.59, think its around 1.65 at moment.

If anyone else knows how to see the rate you got, that would be great!

I have just called them and the rate today is 1.60

I have sent £10 over just to see how long it takes and then will go from there.

As you've found, the way to get the rate is to call them. I actually have a UK Citibank account as well, so I transfer money using online banking and then transfer within the Citibank accounts when I am happy with rate. That way I know I get the rate on the day I transfer, rather than it taking 3 days and being different.

Although, to be honest, the rate doesn't vary that dramatically in such a short time!

I use the website , XE.com
There rate is always pretty much what I get when transfer money into my citibank dollar account
