Card type Daily ATM cash withdrawal limit Daily POS/contactless payment limit Daily Online purchase limit
Citi Priority and Citibanking HK$20,000 HK$50,000 HK$50,000
Citigold Private Client and Citigold HK$40,000 HK$100,000 HK$100,000

The following transactions, including but not limited to, are not applicable to the Debit Mastercard - recurring transactions, auto-pay, mail/fax/phone installment payments.

The overseas POS transaction will usually involve currency exchange during settlement. Therefore, if you ask to reverse / refund the overseas POS transactions, the amount you receive (if any) may be less than the amount debited due to such currency exchange adjustment and/or handling fees.

You can call (852)2860 0333 or visit any branches for enquiries.

Please note that your privileges, rewards, and/ or services will differ depending on your Debit Card card type.

In addition to ATM withdrawal functions, your Debit Card also allows you to sign for local and overseas purchases, perform contactless payment via Mastercard® Contactless (including through the use of digital wallets like Samsung Pay), and online purchase (collectively ,"Debit Card Transactions") which shall be paid for by directly deducting the transaction amount from your primary bank account.

Your Debit Card therefore carries the risk of unauthorized signature-based, contactless payment or card not-present transactions. Please note that the default maximum daily POS/online purchase limit for these types of Debit Card Transactions is HK$50,000 (Citi Priority and Citibanking card type) and HK$100,000 (Citigold Private Clients and Citigold card type) respectively unless revised by you. If you had previously revised your old Debit Card’s maximum daily POS/ online purchase limit, the limits under your new Debit Card will remain the same as your existing daily limits of your old card, or base on your latest Debit Mastercard / ATM card type, whichever is lower.

Although the Mastercard that you have received is a chip card it also has the magnetic stripe for overseas use. While chip technology can reduce the risks of cloning, the magnetic stripe portion of the debit card can still be cloned. As debit cards allow customers to sign off on the receipt, there is also a risk of forgery.

Some merchants allow you to make transactions below a certain value without the need to sign off on the transaction receipt. Do ask the merchant for a receipt of the transaction to ensure the correct amount is deducted. If the wrong payment amount is deducted, please contact Citibank immediately.

Your debit card details (such as name, account number, expiry date etc.) may be captured by fraudsters either through skimming or via intercepted online transactions. Fraudsters will then be able to use such information to clone a card or perform fraudulent card-not-present transactions (such as online or mail-order-telephone-order (MOTO) transactions).

However, for online purchases with merchants whose websites are enabled with the 3D Secure Technology, you will be asked to enter a One-Time Password before you can complete the transaction. This helps to protect you against online fraud and is a secure way to authenticate that you are making the purchase as the rightful owner of the debit card being used. Inform Citibank immediately if you have received a One-Time Password (OTP) but you did not make any online purchase transaction.

  • Never leave your debit card or documents containing its details lying around.
  • Sign the back of your debit card with permanent ink as soon as you receive it.
  • Change your PIN immediately upon the receipt of the PIN mailer. Memorize your PIN and destroy the PIN mailer.
  • Safeguard your card details. Do not disclose your personal identification number (PIN) for cash withdrawals to anyone.
  • Only shop at reputable and legitimate merchants (including online stores). Do not perform online transactions using shared devices such as computers in cybercafes.
  • When you make small value transactions without the need to sign off on the receipt, ask the merchant for a receipt of the transaction to ensure the correct amount is deducted.
  • Check regularly that your cards are with you.
  • Contact Citibank immediately if your card or card information is lost or stolen. Note the time and date when you do so.
