• If you open a mutual fund account or securities brokerage account with Citibank N.A. UAE and complete your investor profile during the offer period, you shall be entitled to receive AED 500 cashback. 
• To take advantage of the offer, the following conditions should be met– 
• Active mutual fund or securities brokerage account with Citibank UAE
• A valid investor profile
• Knowledge and experience in mutual funds or securities exchange account you are dealing in
• The offer shall be at individual customer identification numbers and, thus, is applicable only once per customer.
• If the customer opens more than one mutual fund with Citibank, a single or joint relationship, the offer shall be applicable to the latter.
• Applicable cashback shall be credited to your Citibank bank account on the 15th of the subsequent month in which the mutual fund or securities brokerage account is opened.

Eligibility Criteria to Avail of the Offer

Open a Citigold account and get up to AED 13,000 cash reward, provided you qualify for the following eligibility criteria – 

• The offer is available to all UAE residents, excluding US persons and those associated with Citibank, including non-employees. 
• All new customers opening Citigold relationship bank accounts are eligible.
• The offer is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023 (both dates included)
• The reward shall not be given to customers who have closed a Citibank account within 12 months prior to opening the Citigold Account.
• For joint accounts, only the primary account holder can redeem the reward.
• To qualify for the offer, you must have a total relationship balance of USD 200,000 (or equivalent in other currencies) or more. Moreover, you must maintain the balance for 90 consecutive days of opening the account. These 90 days are called the ‘funding period.’
• The funding period should be started within 90 days from the account opening date, and to compute the reward, the lowest daily balance maintained for 90 days shall be considered.
• Another point to be kept in mind is that funds transferred from Citibank UAE accounts shall not be counted towards the total relationship balance calculation to fulfil the offer. For instance, suppose you opened an account on January 5, 2023, and maintained a total relationship balance of $350,000 after the successful completion of 90 days. But when analysing the balance, $100,000 comes out to be transferred from another Citibank UAE bank account. Thus, while computing the total relationship balance, $100,000 will automatically be deducted, and $250,000 will be taken into account. However, in this case, your total relationship balance of the account will be more than $200,000; you will qualify for the welcome offer.
• To get a bonus reward, you must have purchased at least $10,000 worth of life insurance or investment products by the end of 90 days and qualify for the welcome or funding offer.
• Your Citigold account must be in good standing at the time of the offer.
• If you qualify for the funding offer, you cannot enrol for any other offer related to the Citigold account relationship.
• After you qualify for the offer and bonus reward, the funds shall be transferred to the customer’s bank account within the next 30 days working days. 
• Citibank has the right to change or modify the campaign at any time.
• Citibank’s employees, affiliates, directors or other officers cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage arising from the offer.
• In case the minimum balance of $200,000 is not maintained for the 4 months, the account shall be closed or downgraded by the concerned bank adhering to the terms and conditions.
