    For Immediate Release Citigroup Inc. (NYSE symbol: C) Singapore, 16 March 2006 CITIBANK IS THE TOP BANK IN SINGAPORE IN TERMS OF SERVICE QUALITY Singapore Service Quality Barometer 2005 conducted by Asia Insight ranked Citibank highest in Customer Commitment Index score Singapore – Citibank has emerged as the clear leader amongst banks in the Singapore Service Quality Barometer 2005, the first-of-its-kind benchmarking survey by Asia Insight. The survey ranked 8 banks by polling more than 400 consumers in a random sample on 29 Key Performance Indicators of service quality, and providing a Customer Commitment Index score for each bank, and for the industry. Citibank received a Customer Commitment Index score of 61, compared to the other 7 banks, which scored between 52 to 59 (an average of 56). The bank also garnered top positions in 17 out of 29, and top 3 positions in 25 out of 29 Key Performance Indicators of service quality among all 8 banks surveyed (see Appendix 1).

We work very hard to deliver superior service. However, we are far from satisfied. We are continuing to invest on most fronts to improve service levels and exceed our customers’ expectations.

  • US Pmis – Supply-Side Issues Keep Inflationary Pressure Building China's End-Use Energy Consumption Could Bounce
    DAILY CURRENCY UPDATE 30 September 2021 US government shutdown likely averted but a debt ceiling resolution still awaits • USD: There now seems to be a clear path to averting a US government shutdown and legislators are likely – if not guaranteed – to take it. Democrats plan to offer a “clean” continuing resolution (not tied to the debt limit) that would keep the government open through December 3rd. This will likely pass in the Senate with bipartisan support later this week in the House. Debt ceiling – meanwhile, the debt ceiling is likely to be raised along party lines through reconciliation. Republicans continue to make clear that they will not participate in a bipartisan process to raise the debt limit. Majority Leader Schumer (D-NY) has asked for unanimous consent to proceed to a vote on a debt ceiling suspension (which could then pass with a simple majority) but is opposed by Republicans. It remains Citi analysts’ and market’s base case that Democrats will ultimately use party line reconciliation to raise the debt limit. Given the tight timeline, a key issue is how long the reconciliation process will take – but this is likely to get underway in the relative near term and potentially for some procedural steps to be sped up. • USD: Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Yellen has already indicated “extraordinary measures” staving off the debt ceiling may be exhausted by October 18. Though the date has been reported by some outlets as when Treasury will run out of cash, “extraordinary measures” are exhausted when Treasury can no longer issue net new debt – despite potentially having cash left in its account.

    For Immediate Release Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) 12 April 2021 Citi Launches Digital Credit Cards First in Singapore In a first for Citi globally, new cardholders in Singapore will receive digital credit cards for immediate use. Singapore – In a first for Citi globally, new credit card customers in Singapore will have access to digital versions of their plastic for immediate use before receiving their physical credit cards.

Vikas Kumar, Head of Cards and Personal Loans, Citibank Singapore added, “Customers in Singapore are digitally savvy and appreciate the simple and seamless experience that our mobile app brings especially for quick payments online or offline. As a key market for Citi credit cards in Asia, we are proud to offer our digital credit card to customers in Singapore first.” New credit customers in Singapore will receive their digital credit cards through Citi Mobile® App – Citi’s mobile banking app. Upon approval of a credit card application, a cardholder receives a notification through either e-mail or SMS to create an online banking account. Once the online banking account is created, the digital credit card is immediately provisioned on the app, giving the cardholder a credit card number, expiry date as well as a temporary CVV number.
