Frequently Asked Questions
A debit card is a payment card that offers a convenient and secure way to make payments online or pay for purchases electronically from the cardholder’s bank account. A debit card also allows you to check your account balance and generate mini-statements from an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM).
One of the major differences between a credit card and a debit card is that with a credit card, your bank can lend you money for purchases which you need to repay within the specified period or choose to convert the amount to Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and repay it with interest on a monthly basis. Whereas, with the debit card, you will be able to only spend the amount that is there in your bank account.
There are several advantages of using a debit card, some of them are mentioned below:
- Enjoy Contactless Payments: Some debit cards come with a contactless feature that helps you make seamless payments and eliminate physical contact.
- No Need to Carry Cash: You can pay for purchases online or make payments electronically, which reduces the inconvenience of having to carry cash.
- Prevents Overspending: When you pay for a purchase using a debit card, the amount is directly debited from your bank account, so you won’t be able to spend more than what you actually have.
- Chip and PIN Security: As a Citibank Debit Card comes with Chip and PIN technology, you will need to enter a unique PIN (known only to you) to complete the transaction.
- Zero Loss Liability: In case of a fraudulent transaction, you can enjoy zero loss liability if you report the loss or theft of the debit card immediately to Citibank and it is successfully blocked. You can contact the 24-hour CitiPhone Banking Service on 04-3114000 to report the loss of the debit card.
