Citibank - No Credit Card

jinkster

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!

Well their website has a credit card section and log in page:

http://www.citibank.co.uk/personal/cards/

Can't see new application part on there though.

Citi do have cards. I have one myself with a 6.9% LOB offer.

No application and phoned them today - they not offering credit cards at the moment.

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.
