Well they credited my wages in @ 2am, 2 hours than the co-op I paid my rent/CT online by Delta & it's immediately taken off of my online balance, wuick or what!

Yes they are really good, I used to have to wait up to 4 days for a transaction to be processed through my account but with Citibank it goes through immediately and I can see a detailed transaction within 24 hours.

I'm loving citibank at the mo

I'm having an issue with my Visa Debit card and I wonder if I am not alone.

My card works fine at cash machines, online and all retailrs that use chip and pin.

But anytime the card is swiped, the transaction is declined.

I wonder if there is a fault with the magnetic stripe on the card, or whether CitiBank will only allow chip and pin purchases.

Any feedback from other CitiBank members would be appreciated

Citibank don't allow swipe purchases for some reason, don't know why??

Weird. Well at least I know for future reference now. I can stop getting embarrased in the queue

Actually come to think of it, the shop where I work, our card merchant machine hates it when you have to swipe a card, always declines...just imagine what happend the week before Christmas and some dripped the chip and pin unit on the floor and it broke?!!!!

I work for Asda & any chip card we swipe declines cause I spose the idea is to be using the chip now. I've used my card online & in Asda & local chemist so far & it's all going fine lol I thought most retailers had chip terminals now? Maybe it's just declined cause of being swiped

Yeah, looks like the card won't authorise if been processed as a swipe.

I used the £500 cash withdrawls three times this week, so handy, had a new bathroom and much easier being able to get £500 a go, could get it on the way home rather than miss lectures or work to get to a bank (I used to be with Natwest and could only get £250 a day).
