Citibank adds giveaways to fee-free account

04/11/2011

Citibank has taken the fee-free concept a couple of steps further with the revamp of its Citibank Plus Transaction Account.

It has removed all additional service fees such as bank cheque issuance, cheque dishonour and extra statement fees, and offers free access to a network of 3000 ATMs. It has also removed fees for overseas ATM withdrawals, point-of-sale transactions and funds transfers.

“We have removed absolutely everything. We claim to have the only fully free account in Australia,” says Citibank's head of retail banking, David Mouille.

Citibank has included transaction account customers in a dining partnership program that was developed for its credit card business. Customers are eligible for a free bottle of wine when they dine at any of 300 partner restaurants.
