in Credit cards
I am transferring to Citibank - current account/ savings account etc from Nationwide. I am interested to know why Citibank do not currently have a credit card?

Very strange!

    All current citicards are maintained by Egg now. Citibank has been closing all other subsidiaries except core banking since last year.

    ah thanks for that - that would explain the reason behind it all.

    I like to keep all the credit cards/ etc all in one place as it makes life easier.

    Citibank was (and probably still is) bankrupt essentially as nobody will give them credit/money (although you seem quite happy to). Their affairs are being managed by all sorts of people.

    I hadn't noticed that. Looks like I got my card (in March) just in time.
