How To Log In to Citibank Online From a Desktop

It’s easy to log in to Citibank online using a desktop or laptop computer. Logging in this way will give you the same functions as using the mobile app on your phone or tablet.

Follow these simple steps to log in to your Citibank online account:

Visit the Citibank login page.
Enter your user ID and password.
Click the “Sign on” button.

How To Log In to Citibank Online Using Mobile Devices

Logging in to your Citibank account from your tablet or smartphone is quick and easy. You can access your account through a browser just like with a desktop computer, or you can log in using the Citibank app. The Citi Mobile banking app is an easier option and gives you faster access by skipping the login process. The app also provides notifications about bank and credit card transactions.

Here’s how to access your account with the Citi Mobile app:

Download the Citi app for your device. You can do this from the Citibank site or from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Open the app after it has downloaded.
Enter your Citibank online banking login information, including your user ID and password.
Sign out when your session is complete.

Recovering Your Citibank Login Password or User ID

If you forgot your Citibank user ID or password, you’ll need your credit card number to retrieve it. If you linked your credit card account to your debit card, you’ll also need your debit card account information. Once you enter the debit card number, you’ll need to provide either the date of birth of the primary cardholder, the last four digits of your Social Security number or the security word that you set up when you registered the account.

Benefits of Online Banking

Online banking offers numerous benefits, but perhaps the biggest one is instant access to your account. Instead of having to visit a physical Citibank branch to conduct business, or mail out checks using the postal service, you can do it all on your computer or other devices. Online banking lets you set up automatic bill pay, check your account balance and even schedule a transfer from your checking account to your savings account. As long as you have an internet connection, you can do it all in just a few minutes from wherever you happen to be at the time.
