Citibank® Debit Card with Chip.

A tiny chip protects you in a big way.

Chip card technology is becoming the standard for card security worldwide. Banks and merchants all over the US are rapidly transitioning to chip card authentication.

You're ready for the next little thing.

In the US and abroad, you can already use your Citibank® Debit Card with Chip for banking and purchasing. Your chip card keeps the same card number but provides you with global acceptance.

The big difference? Improved security.

A tiny chip embedded in your card protects your personal information by converting it to a unique code, making access extra difficult for fraudsters. Chip card technology provides far better protection than traditional cards when used at chip-enabled terminals and ATMs.

There's one small difference in how you use your Citibank® Debit Card with Chip.

At chip—enabled purchase terminals and ATMs, you insert the chip end of your card into the device with the chip facing up, and follow the instructions on the screen. When you finish, remember to take your card.

Since your Citibank® Debit Card with Chip still has a magnetic stripe, swipe as usual at magnetic stripe terminals. Complete phone and online transactions as you always have.

Easy as always:

  1. Insert your chip card.
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts.
  3. Take your card.
