Access may be made via personal computer, wireless web-enabled device or similar access device as may be allowed by you from time to time (“Device”).

Such terms and conditions shall apply as if they were expressly extended to the use of the Services.1.6This Agreement is supplementary to and not in substitution for any provisions in the Terms and Conditions for Accounts and Services. -
Security Codes
2.1To access the Services for the first time, I must register my card number (the "Card Number"), personal identification number ("PIN") and my account number (where applicable) issued or assigned by you online or in such other manner as you may from time to time specify.2.2I must subsequently choose my own user identification code (the "User ID") and password (the "Password") to access the Services and I may choose to change the User ID and Password at any time upon acceptance by you.2.3To access the Services, you may in your sole discretion require me to input a one-time password (the "OTP") generated by an electronic or physical security device designated by the Bank from time to time (the "Security Device") or sent by the Bank to my mobile phone number registered with you via SMS message. I understand that I may be required to designate and use a Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or any other biometric sensor/authentication technology (where applicable) in order to protect the access and use of the Security Device or the Device. It is my sole responsibility to apply to you for such Security Device or a replacement of the same in case of loss or malfunction.2.4For certain Services and transactions as determined by you from time to time and for extra security protection, you may, in your sole discretion, require me to obtain a one-time online transaction authorization code ("OAC") which you may use to authenticate my identity, instructions and/or banking transactions. The OAC may be sent to me via the Security Device, my mobile phone number registered with you via SMS message or in such other manner as you may from time to time specify. Without the OAC, I may not be able to proceed with the transaction via the Service and I will have to effect any such transactions via any branches of the Bank or by other means as notified by you.2.5I understand that the Citi Mobile® App has an in-built enhanced security function for login authentication and transaction authorization without the use of a hard token. To use the enhanced security function of Citi Mobile® App, I will need to register via Citi Mobile® App installed on my Device (as may be acceptable to you from time to time). Once bound with enhanced security function, my Device could be recognised by the Citi Mobile® App for authenticating any transaction as being conducted by the bound Device or other similar purposes. I understand that the enhanced security function can be enabled in Citi Mobile® App on one single device only at any given time and enabling enhanced security function on Citi Mobile® App with the same login details on a different device will disable its availability on previous device. Upon every registration of the enhanced security function, I acknowledge that I will be subjected to a cooling-off period as shown on Citi Mobile® App. During the cooling-off period, some transactions will be restricted by Citibank for the sake of security. The restricted transactions are determined and subject to change from time to time by Citibank at its sole discretion. -

CITI MOBILE® APP USER AGREEMENTTerms of Use for Citi Mobile® App User Agreement offered by Citibank (Hong Kong) Limited

BY DOWNLOADING AND USING THE APPLICATION OFFERED BY CITIBANK (HONG KONG) LIMITED (“CHKL”) FOR MOBILE DEVICES, TABLETS OR OTHER DEVICES (THE “APPLICATION”), I AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE FOR APPLICATIONS OFFERED BY CHKL AND ANY OTHER POLICIES, TERMS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT MAY BE PUBLISHED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE EXISTING CITIBANK ONLINE USER AGREEMENT, THE CITIBANK TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCOUNTS AND SERVICES AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN CHKL, CITIBANK, N.A., HONG KONG BRANCH (“CBNA”) AND ME (COLLECTIVELY THE “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”). IF I DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, I SHALL NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY, OR OTHERWISE USE THE APPLICATION.
The following are the Terms of Use for the Service (as defined hereinafter) and the Application. The Application is offered by CHKL. These Terms of Use, which may be amended from time to time, shall apply to any person (referred to herein as "I" or "me") who accesses or uses any feature of the Application.
The Service in these Terms of Use means a service available to every customer of CHKL or CBNA (as the case maybe) allowing them to access banking services provided by CHKL or CBNA with a compatible wireless web-enabled device or other device, each as may be designated by CHKL from time to time (“Device”). I can enroll to obtain account information and make selected transactions using my Device. There is no charge for using the Service. Regular account charges will apply to services and features that are accessible through the Service. The telecommunications carrier for my Device may impose an extra fee in order to make such device 'wireless web enabled'.
To the extent certain banking services accessed via the Application are provided to you by CBNA, the references to “CHKL” below shall extend to cover CBNA as appropriate.
I am granted a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, personal, limited license to install and use the Application only on a Device that I own or control, solely for my personal use and as expressly permitted herein. Certain software that CHKL uses to provide the Service has been licensed from third parties (each a "Third Party Licensor") that is not affiliated with CHKL. This limited right to use such software is revocable at any time in the discretion of CHKL. CHKL and its Third Party Licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Application and any modifications and updates thereto. I agree not to decompile or reverse engineer any software in the Application. All rights not expressly granted to me herein are reserved.
The Service is provided "as is" and without warranty. I acknowledge and agree that from time to time, the Service may be delayed, interrupted or disrupted for an indeterminate period of time due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of CHKL including, without limitation, any inaccuracy, interruption or delay in transmission by the telecommunications carrier used with the Device to access the wireless web, or any interruptions, disruption or failure in the provision of the service, whether caused by strikes, power failures, equipment malfunctions or other reasons. CHKL, its affiliates or a Third Party Licensor shall not be liable for any claim arising from or related to the Service arising from any such delay, interruption, disruption or similar failure. In no event will CHKL or any affiliate or Third Party Licensor be liable for indirect, consequential or special damages, including lost profits, arising from my use of the Service, even if such damages were reasonably foreseeable and notice was given regarding them. These limitations will apply to all causes of action, whether arising from breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory.
My attention is drawn to the section of the Terms and Conditions for Accounts and Services entitled “Access to Accounts by Card or Code” which contains important information on my rights and responsibilities when making transactions using the Service. The standard limitations on transfers and bill payments apply to transactions made through the Service.
By identifying a device as eligible for use with the Service, CHKL does not recommend, endorse or make any representation or warranty of any kind regarding the performance or operation of such device. I am responsible for the selection of a device and for all issues relating to the operation, performance and costs associated with such device with my telecommunications carrier.
I undertake to inform CHKL as soon as reasonably practicable if I know or suspect that someone else is able to access my Device or the Application, or if my Device has come into possession or control of any unauthorized person.
CHKL and its Third-Party Licensors have no obligation to correct any bugs, defects or errors in the Service or Application, or to otherwise support, maintain, improve, modify, upgrade, update or enhance the Service or Application. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, CHKL may terminate my use of the Service and expand, reduce or suspend the type and/or dollar amounts of transactions allowed using the Service, change the enrolment process and transaction limits associated with it from time to time based on security issues and other factors at any time in its sole discretion without prior notice.
I acknowledge and agree that CHKL may collect, transmit, store, and use technical, location, and login or other personal data and related information, including but not limited to technical information about my Device, system and application software, and peripherals, and information regarding my location, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support, and other services to me (if any) related to, or in connection with, the Service.
When I use the Service or the Application, CHKL and third parties that CHKL works with may use cookies and/or pixel tags to collect information and store my preferences. CHKL may use the information for security purpose, to facilitate navigation, to display information more effectively, and to personalize my experience while using the Service or the Application, as well as for online tracking and marketing purposes. CHKL may recognize my Device to assist my use of the Service or the Application. CHKL also gathers statistical information about the usage of the Application, for security, fraud prevention and marketing purposes, and to continually improve the design and functionality and understand how the Application is used and to assist CHKL with resolving questions regarding the Application. Cookies further may allow CHKL to select which of its advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to me and display them while I am online. CHKL may also use cookies in online and mobile advertising to track responses to advertisements and to measure the success of marketing campaigns.
I note that cookies and pixel tags do not capture any information that can personally identify me. The information CHKL gathers help to improve user experience and may include (without limitation): time and duration of my use of the Application; and pages I viewed while using the Application.

CHKL has the right to amend, add, delete, replace or supplement any of these Terms of Use at any time by giving notice to me, and the same shall become binding on me from the date of their adoption by CHKL and shall be deemed to have come to my attention by their being displayed at the websites or any other mode which CHKL deems fit. My continued use of the Service or Application shall constitute my acceptance of any such changes or modifications. I understand and accept that if I do not agree to these Terms or Use or its amendment, addition, deletion, replacement or supplement from time to time, I will be denied to (1) online banking access, (2) mobile online banking access, (3) and the access to view e-statement and e-advice.
Certain Services or Applications may be subject to separate terms and conditions, which are in addition to these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict, the additional terms and conditions will govern for those Services or Applications.
The laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People Republic of China (“Hong Kong”) shall govern these Terms of Use. I hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong courts.
In case of discrepancies between the English and Chinese version of these Terms of Use, the English version shall prevail.
Depending on the type and model of my Device, I may be able to use biometric authentication technology on my Device, for example, Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID or Face ID, and access the Application using my fingerprint or facial data or other biometric credentials which are stored on my Device instead of a password.
Activating Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID or Face ID or other biometric authentication technology on my Device for the Application would allow any fingerprint or facial data or other biometric credentials stored on my Device, now or in the future, to be used to access the Application, and consequently view my CHKL accounts and effect transactions such as transferring money from such accounts.
Accordingly, I agree:
- not to activate Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID or Face ID or other biometric authentication technology on my Device for the Application if I have any other person's fingerprint or facial data or other biometric credentials stored on my Device; and
- not to take any action to disable any function provided by, and/or agreeing to any settings of, my Device that would otherwise compromise the security of the use of my biometric credentials for authentication purposes (e.g. disabling “attention-aware” for facial recognition).
In addition, as general security measures, I agree:
- to follow all security precautions provided by the manufacturer of my Device operating system;
- not to use the Application on any device or operating system that has been modified outside the mobile device or operating system vendor supported or warranted configurations (e.g. devices that have been "jail-broken" or "rooted"). A jail broken or rooted device means one that has been freed from the limitations imposed on it by the mobile service provider and/or the phone manufacturer without their approval. The use of Application on a jail broken or rooted device may compromise security and lead to fraudulent transactions; and
- to only download Application and its updates from official sources.
If I, despite the warning above, activate Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID or Face ID or other biometric authentication technology on my Device for the Application even though I have someone else’s fingerprint or facial data or other biometric credentials stored on my Device, any access, transfers and/or transactions effected using any of the fingerprint(s) or facial data or biometric credentials stored on my Device will be considered as authorized by me and I will be fully responsible for them. I will also be fully responsible and liable for all consequences arising from or in connection with the use of the Service or the Application if I fail to take any of the security measures communicated or published by CHKL or my Device manufacturer from time to time.
I acknowledge and agree that CHKL is not responsible for the Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or other biometric sensor/authentication technology on my Device and CHKL expressly excludes any statutory or other warranty, condition, term or undertaking as to the quality, accuracy or performance of Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or any other biometric sensor/authentication technology on my Device as a means for securing access to and using the Application. By activating the Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or other biometric sensor/authentication technology on my Device for the Application, I agree to CHKL using and relying on Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or such other biometric sensor/authentication technology on my Device to authenticate my identity, instead of requiring my password. I agree that CHKL may treat and consider as valid and binding on me any instruction given, or agreement made with CHKL, which is authenticated through Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or any other biometric sensor/authentication technology on my Device without CHKL making any further inquiry as to the authority or identity of the person making or purporting to give such instructions or their authenticity notwithstanding any error, misunderstanding, fraud, forgery or lack of clarity in or authorization for their terms. For certain transactions, I acknowledge that CHKL and/or CBNA may still require my password and/or another form of authentication even though I have accessed the Application using Fingerprint Authentication/Touch ID/Face ID or any other biometric sensor/authentication technology on my Device.
For more information on the application of Face ID on Apple’s IPhone X, please go to the Apple website – About Face ID Advanced Technology.
I understand that the Citi Mobile® App has an in-built enhanced security function for login authentication and transaction authorization without the use of a hard token. To use the enhanced security function of Citi Mobile® App, I will need to register via Citi Mobile® App installed on my Device (as may be acceptable to you from time to time). Once bound with enhanced security function, my Device could be recognized by the Citi Mobile® App for authenticating any transaction as being conducted by the bound Device or other similar purposes. I understand that the enhanced security function can be enabled in Citi Mobile® App on one single device only at any given time and enabling enhanced security function on Citi Mobile® App with the same login details on a different device will disable its availability on previous device. Upon every registration of the enhanced security function, I acknowledge that I will be subjected to a cooling-off period as shown on Citi Mobile® App. During the cooling-off period, some transactions will be restricted by Citibank for the sake of security. The restricted transactions are determined and subject to change from time to time by Citibank at its sole discretion.

Cardless Withdrawal Function
If I use the Cardless Withdrawal function (“Function”) of the Application, and if I also have an ATM/Debit Card issued by CHKL or CBNA (as the case may be) (each, the “Bank”), I will be allowed to provide cash withdrawal instruction (“Withdrawal Instruction”) to the Bank by scanning a Quick Response Code (“QR Code”) displayed on applicable Bank or JETCO ATMs in Hong Kong that support cardless withdrawal transactions and perform a cash withdrawal transaction from [my Account(s)] without the physical ATM/Debit Card (“Cardless Withdrawal Transaction”) while the Withdrawal Instruction is still valid.
The Function is provided as part of the Application and ATM/Debit Card Services, and I may still use the physical ATM/Debit Card to withdraw cash without using the Function. By using the Function, I agree and confirm that the Function is provided subject to these Terms of Use, the Citibank Online User Agreement and the Bank’s “Terms and Conditions for Citibank ATM/Debit Card Services and Citiphone Services” (“ATM Terms”), and that (unless the context requires otherwise):
i. all references to “Transaction(s)” in the ATM Terms shall include all Cardless Withdrawal Transactions performed by me from time to time;
ii. all references to “Card” in the ATM Terms shall include the Function;
iii. all references to the “Code” in the ATM Terms shall include all Withdrawal Instructions given by me to the Bank from time to time;
iv. all references to “Citibank Online” service in the ATM Terms shall include the Function; and
v. all references to “the Service” or “the Services” in these Terms of Use and the Citibank Online User Agreement shall include the Function.
Capitalised terms and expressions not specifically defined in this section of these Terms of Use shall have the same respective meanings as defined in the ATM Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency, this section of these Terms of Use shall prevail over the ATM Terms in respect of the Function.
The Withdrawal Instruction has such expiry period as set by the Bank from time to time. I will need to perform the Cardless Withdrawal Transaction before the Withdrawal Instruction expires. Upon expiry, the Withdrawal Instruction will be cancelled automatically and will not be processed by the Bank.
The Function is available for cash withdrawal in Hong Kong Dollar only, unless otherwise announced by the Bank in the future. The Bank shall be entitled to impose daily withdrawal and/or other transaction limits for the Function which may be different from the limits imposed on the use of physical ATM/Debit Cards. Further, the Accounts accessible by the use of the Function may be different from the Accounts accessible by the use of the physical ATM/Debit Cards and it is my responsibility to carefully review the Account(s) displayed and choose the correct Account with sufficient balance to perform a cash withdrawal transaction.
The Bank may suspend or terminate the Function or my access to and/or use of the Function, or decline or reject any Withdrawal Instruction for any reason, at any time and without prior notice.
I must keep my mobile telephone under personal control and my password, account credentials and security details confidential. I must take all reasonable precautions to prevent loss, theft or unauthorized or fraudulent use of my mobile telephone, password, account credentials, security details or other confidential information.
Except due to your negligence or willful default, you shall under no circumstances be liable for my loss, damage or expense of any kind which I may incur or suffer from, in connection with the following (or any of them):
