any applicable law.

2.24 You represent and undertake at all times that the relevant Card Account, facility or
other services provided by us will not be used for illegal or unlawful purposes.

How to use your Card for Transactions


2.25 Unless otherwise indicated by us, for Cash Advances or withdrawals via ATMs, you must
dip your Card into the ATM slot, followed by entering your PIN.

2.26 For transactions at merchant terminals or any point-of-sale (POS) at which your Card is
used, to permit you to receive authorisation for a Card transaction to purchase goods
or services from a merchant, you are required to enter your PIN, where applicable.

2.27 In this respect, when you use your PIN:

(a) you agree that the PIN may be used to identify you and that you authorise
the transaction; and

(b) you are deemed to have agreed to the transaction and have verified that the
purchase(s) and the transaction amount(s) performed at the POS is/are
correct and accurate.

2.28 Some Cards may have “contactless” features and can be used to make payment for
goods or services with contactless readers, terminals or POS devices, by waving the
Card or bringing the Card in proximity with such devices. Such contactless payment is
subject to a predetermined maximum amount for each contactless transaction. Unless
informed otherwise, contactless transactions may not require:

(a) your signature on any sales slips, terminal or POS device;

(b) the microchip embedded in the Card, if any, to be read by such devices; or

(c) a PIN to authorise such transaction(s).

2.29 Notwithstanding that, you agree that we can, where reasonable, choose not to process
a contactless transaction(s) even if such transaction(s) does not exceed the
predetermined maximum amount for each contactless transaction or any amount
specified by us or prescribed by Bank Negara Malaysia from time to time. If you wish
to make a contactless payment above the predetermined maximum amount for each
contactless transaction, you are required to enter your PIN (or any other accepted
method for authorising the transaction) for transactions at merchant terminals or any
POS at which your Card is used. If you wish to reduce the predetermined limit or disable
contactless payment/ transaction feature, please contact us via Citiphone Banking or
any other means as we may notify you from time to time.

20
2.30 You may use Citibank’s GIRO service through your Card. Please refer to Section 19
below on “Citibank GIRO Service” for the terms and conditions of such use.

2.31 You may also use Duitnow QR service to make a payment as specified by you from your
Card Account to a merchant via the merchant QR code. The terms and conditions for
the Duitnow QR service is available at
https://www.citibank.com.my/global_docs/pdf/DuitNow_Terms_and_Conditions.pdf
and shall be read in conjunction with this Agreement.

Card Issuance, Renewal or Replacement


2.32 When a Card is due to expire, we will typically issue you and, where applicable, any
Supplementary Cardholder, a replacement Card on or before the day the existing Card
is due to expire. However, we may not do that if, amongst other things, you are in
default under this agreement, your Card Account is blocked or closed, or the Card has
been cancelled.

2.33 We may also issue you or where applicable, a Supplementary Cardholder, with a
replacement Card where a Card is reported to us as lost, stolen or misused or when
we cancel the Card for security reasons.

2.34 Any replacement Card will need to be activated by you before it can be used. However,
we may (but are not obliged to) transfer all your Recurring Card Instruction for the
service to the replacement Card to ensure non-interruption of service (whether you
have activated the replacement Card or not). Please refer to Section 2 above on
“Getting Started” on getting your Card activated.

2.35 Even if you do not activate your Card, you are still responsible for paying all outstanding
balances. For the avoidance of any doubt, non-activation of the new Card does not
revoke any existing standing instructions or any other transactions (including
transactions which have been performed but not posted) unless the Card or Card
Account has been terminated. Notwithstanding, you will still be liable for any
transaction on your Card due to your previous use or standing instructions. It is your
responsibility to ensure that no further transactions are made on a terminated Card.

2.36 Upon replacement of your Card, you are under a duty to use all reasonable care,
precaution and diligence to prevent the loss, theft or unauthorised use of your
unexpired old Card. All charges arising from transactions carried out through the use
of your Card when it has been carelessly disposed are deemed to have been made by
you and you are liable for all such transactions.

2.37 Even if you have exercised all reasonable care, precaution and diligence to prevent the
loss or theft or unauthorised use of your Card, you will still remain liable to us if you
have acted fraudulently in the use of your unexpired old Card.

2.38 Upon any loss, theft and/or unauthorised use of your Card or upon discovery that any
person or persons have acquired knowledge of the PIN, you must immediately create
a new PIN to replace your existing PIN and you may request us to issue a replacement

21
Card. We have the right to accept or to refuse such request and if we refuse, to give
you reason for such refusal (where possible).

2.39 We are not obliged to issue a replacement Card following its loss or theft.

2.40 Any issuance of a replacement Card is subject to a fee that we may reasonably
prescribe. For details, please visit www.citibank.com.my to view the Fees and Charges
table.

Are there transactions you can’t use your Card Account or your
Card for?
2.41 Yes. Your Card Account, and any Card, and/or Supplementary Card must not be used:

(a) for business and/or commercial purposes which are reasonably deemed to
be unacceptable by us such as pyramid or similar schemes and investments
(unless we have specified otherwise in relation to your Card);

(b) to make purchases or other transactions which are prohibited by law; or

(c) for any unlawful, fraudulent, dishonest or unauthorised activities which are
prohibited under this agreement (whether specifically or generally
prohibited having regard to the terms of this agreement as a whole);

(d) to make Unacceptable Transactions. See Section 14 “Unacceptable


Transactions and Transactional Limits”.

2.42 We are entitled to block the authorisation and/or refuse to approve transactions for
the use of the Card for such other activities and purposes stated above or where we
reasonably believe or suspect the transactions are fraudulent, dishonest or
unauthorised. Notwithstanding this, we are not obliged to monitor and/or block the
use of the Card for any prohibited activities.

2.43 We will immediately terminate your Card if you are discovered to have used the Card
for any unlawful activity (for example, illegal online betting).

2.44 If you do make purchases or other transactions which are not allowed, this agreement
still applies and you will still be liable to pay us all amounts owing in respect of them.

2.45 Credit of any winnings, unspent chips, or other values which may be used for
Unacceptable Transactions including gambling transactions will not be accepted or
credited into your Card Account.

22
3. Credit and other limits that apply to your Card
The credit limit
3.1 The Credit Limit is the amount described as the Credit Limit in your Card carrier that
accompanies your Card when you receive it, or such other amount notified to you as
may be set from time to time on the use of the Card.

3.2 If you have more than one (1) Card, you will be assigned a Customer Credit Limit which
represents the total credit limit extended for the use of all the Cards held by you,
regardless of the existing applicable Credit Limit for each Card. Both your Customer
Credit Limit and the applicable Credit Limit for each Card will be indicated in your
statement of accounts or monthly statement.

3.3 Subject to any applicable law, if your income per annum is RM36,000.00 or less, the
maximum Customer Credit Limit that may be extended to you shall be up to two times
your monthly income (regardless of whether you are an existing or new cardholder).

3.4 The total Credit Limit is available for the purchase of goods and services wherever the
Card is honoured. Your Cash Advance limit is available through our bank counters or
any ATM which accepts the Card.

3.5 You must ensure that the total amount charged to your Card Account MUST NOT
exceed your Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit, whichever is lower, at any time
without our approval.

3.6 Without prejudice to our rights under this Agreement, we may, but do not have to,
authorise transactions if your Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit, whichever is lower,
will be or has been exceeded. We will only authorise such transactions which exceed
the Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit if you have agreed to and/or requested for
the same.

3.7 In the event your Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit is exceeded for any reason
whatsoever, the provisions on Overlimit will apply.

What to do if you want to change the credit limit


3.8 You may request that your Credit Limit and/or Customer Credit Limit be changed
permanently or temporarily:

(a) by contacting us through CitiPhone Banking or Citibank Online (as the case
may be); or

(b) by way of written instruction to us to the address or channel designated by


us.

23
3.9 You can reduce the Credit Limit at any time by the two methods above. However, if the
type of Card that is attached to your Card Account has a minimum Credit Limit, you
cannot reduce it below that minimum limit. If you have Supplementary Cardholders
with a combined credit limit with you, you can reduce the Supplementary Cardholder's
credit limit separately.

3.10 You will need to ensure the Current Balance of your Card Account does not exceed the
reduced Credit Limit before we can make the Credit Limit reduction. We can reject
transactions until that happens and we may, upon your request, endeavour to reject
certain transactions, however, we may be unable to do so for various reasons for
exampledue to system restrictions.

3.11 Your request to increase your Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit is subject to our
approval and credit assessment (if applicable). Our decision to approve the increase in
Credit Limit and/or Customer Credit Limit will be at our reasonable discretion in
accordance with our policies and Bank Negara Malaysia guidelines.

3.12 You acknowledge and understand that once any permanent increase in Credit Limit
or Customer Credit Limit or any temporary increase in Credit Limit or Customer Credit
Limit is approved, the increase in the Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit will be
reflected in the Central Credit Reference Information Systems (CCRIS) or any credit
bureau maintained by Bank Negara Malaysia.

3.13 An increase in your Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit will also be an increase to your
Supplementary Cardholder’s credit limit (for shared limit) unless you instruct us
otherwise.

3.14 If you have an on-going temporary Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit increase prior
to your application for permanent increase in Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit
above, you are advised to either cancel the temporary Credit Limit increase or apply
after the temporary Credit Limit increase is expired. Please note that processing may
be delayed if your income document is incomplete or requires further clarification.

3.15 Upon approval, your new Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit will be reflected in your
next statement. A letter/SMS/electronic direct mailer (EDM) will be sent to your
mailing address/mobile number/email address registered with us (or any other manner
of communication as we deem appropriate) to inform you of Credit Limit or Customer
Credit Limit increase status.

When can we change your credit limit?


3.16 Even if a Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit has been assigned or approved at your
request, the Customer Credit Limit and the existing applicable Credit Limit for each
Card may be reasonably revised by us at any time (due to reasons such as decrease in
the income updated to Bank or revision in policies or regulations affecting the Bank or
the provision of Cards to our customers) with notice to you. Any new Credit Limit or
Customer Credit Limit (subject to Section 3.17) will be notified to you either by way of
notice or through your statement of accounts or monthly statements.

24
3.17 If we change your Customer Credit Limit or Credit Limit for each Card without your
request for a change, such change shall take effect in the following manner:

(a) any reduction in your Customer Credit Limit or Credit Limit by us will take
effect with notice to you; or

(b) any increase in your Customer Credit Limit or Credit Limit by us (following
our credit assessment) will take effect only upon your acceptance of such
increase.

3.18 To ensure compliance with applicable law as introduced or revised from time to time,
you expressly agree that we are entitled (but may not be obliged) to suspend, cancel,
terminate your Card and Card Account and/or reduce your Credit Limit and/or
Customer Credit Limit previously assigned upon the issuance of any Card to you. You
undertake to abide by and comply with any such laws, regulations and directives.

Other limits that apply


3.19 In addition to the daily limit applicable for Cash Advances, there is a limit on the amount
of outstanding Cash Advances you can have. This is the Total Cash Limit.

3.20 If you reach your Total Cash Limit, you will have to reduce the Cash Advance Balance
below that Total Cash Limit before you can make any further Cash Advances. You can
find out how much you need to pay towards your Card Account before you can make
any further Cash Advances by contacting Citiphone Banking or logging on to Citibank
Online or Citi Mobile® App.

3.21 Daily, weekly and other maximum limits (including limits for particular types of
transactions) may also apply to transactions, Cards or the Card Account, as notified to
you.

3.22 We may also impose either a permanent or temporary maximum limit on the total
amount of cash or value you can obtain with your Card (including a daily transaction
limit). We may do so without telling you first where we reasonably consider it should
be done for the security of a system or an account, including to prevent criminal activity
or fraud.

3.23 Third party organisations including merchants or other financial institutions may
impose their own restrictions on the amount of cash or value you can obtain with your
Card. They may also refuse to accept your Card and we will not be liable where they
refuse to do so.

3.24 Transactions and purchases made on your Card Account may not be approved. We are
not liable for those that aren’t approved, even if you have enough available credit on
your Card Account. If we detect unusual or suspicious activity, we may suspend or
cancel your Card Account. We may also limit the number of transactions approved in a
single day.

25
Excess of Credit Limit - Overlimit
3.25 If you have agreed to an Overlimit, we may from time to time, allow you to exceed your
Credit Limit/Customer Credit Limit and/or allow your Supplementary Cardholder(s) to
exceed his/her assigned Supplementary Card(s) limit (if a separate credit limit is
assigned) as we deem fit (“Overlimit”).

3.26 Notwithstanding the Overlimit Amount:

(a) your Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit does not change;

(b) a fee may apply; and

(c) you must pay the Overlimit Amount including any fees (if applicable) and
charges immediately upon our request or by the next Payment Due Date,
whichever is earlier (unless we tell you otherwise).

3.27 You are liable for all amounts used, including the Overlimit Amount above the Credit
Limit/Customer Credit Limit. If you do not pay such amounts when due, we may
suspend the use of your Card Account until the Card Account is once again under the
Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit, or we may terminate your Card Account.

3.28 Notwithstanding that you have not agreed to any Overlimit, your account may still go
Overlimit in the case of the following transactions:

(a) stand-in processing transaction;

(b) interest or fees imposed by us; and

(c) auto-debit transaction (or Recurring Card Instructions).

3.29 In ascertaining the Overlimit Amount, we shall take into account your Credit Limit
minus any Current Balance on your Card Account (including any outstanding balances
on retail transactions, Balance Transfer amounts, Cash Advance amounts and all
Monthly Instalment(s)(inclusive of instalments not due or billed).

3.30 In addition to making the payment stated above, you must also pay us the Current
Balance, or if you choose not to settle the Current Balance in full, then at the very least
the Minimum Monthly Payment, by the Payment Due Date. If you do not, we may
suspend use of your Card Account until the Current Balance is settled, or we may
terminate your Card Account.

3.31 Without derogation to the foregoing:

(a) if you make any application, request or instruction for a temporary increase
in your Credit Limit and there are amounts in excess of your Credit Limit in
your Card Account after the period of the temporary increase reasonably
specified by us and notified to you; or

26
(b) if you use the Card after being informed prior to such usage, that you are able
to exceed or have exceeded your Credit Limit,

you are consenting to exceed the Credit Limit or go Overlimit and the applicable
charges for Overlimit.

3.32 Notwithstanding that, at all times, the discretion for allowing you to go Overlimit
resides with us solely.

3.33 In the event the Current Balance exceeds your Credit Limit after the expiry of any
temporary increase in Credit Limit or if you continue using your Card to Overlimit, you
will be liable for all amounts in excess of your Credit Limit, including any fees (if
applicable) and charges. Such amounts are payable by you immediately upon our
reasonable request or by the next Payment Due Date, whichever is earlier.

Right to Restrict or Refuse Credit


3.34 We are entitled at any time (by giving you notice) to restrict or limit your credit or
refuse and otherwise withhold credit as we reasonably deem fit due to reasons such as
non-performance of Card Account or legal action instituted against you.

3.35 If we detect unusual or suspicious activity on your Card Account, we may temporarily
suspend your credit privileges until we can verify the activity.

4. Supplementary Cardholders
Can you have Supplementary Cardholders on your Card
Account?
4.1 Subject to our approval, you can ask us to issue a Card to another person as a
Supplementary Cardholder if they are eligible. For supplementary card applicants, the
minimum age for all card types is 18 years old (except for the Citi Business Platinum
card where the minimum age is 21 years old, and is only for employees with a declared
income of RM24,000 per annum). If we agree, we will issue that person with a Card.

4.2 From time to time we may change the eligibility criteria for Supplementary Cardholders
or place limits on the number of Supplementary Cardholders you can have by notifying
you of such change.

4.3 An annual fee will be charged for each Supplementary Card. For details, please visit
www.citibank.com.my to view the Fees and Charges table.

4.4 If you request for a Supplementary Card, you must pay us for all charges made by the
Supplementary Cardholder(s), including charges for which you may not have intended
to be responsible for and notwithstanding that the Supplementary Card(s) may bear
different credit card account numbers and may have separate assigned credit limits.

27
4.5 You are responsible for the Supplementary Cardholder’s use of your Card Account and
the Supplementary Card and you need to ensure that the Supplementary Cardholder
complies with the terms of this agreement as if they were you. The Supplementary
Cardholder(s) may be subject to any other terms and conditions as we may reasonably
impose from time to time. The Supplementary Cardholder(s) agrees to be bound by
this Agreement, the Bank’s rules and regulations and all other terms and conditions
applicable to the Supplementary Card(s).

4.6 If you ask us to issue a Card to a Supplementary Cardholder you agree:

(a) to provide us with certain personal information about the Supplementary


Cardholder; and

(b) before doing so, to obtain the Supplementary Cardholder's consent to you
providing us with that personal information and to us sharing that personal
information and any information we obtain about the Supplementary Cardholder
including information about their transactions on the Card Account as allowed by
applicable law and as set out under this Agreement.

4.7 All amounts charged to the Supplementary Card(s) will be transferred to your Card
Account at the next statement date. As such and subject to this Agreement, the
Supplementary Cardholder(s) will be able to utilise his/her Supplementary Card(s) up
to the whole amount of your available Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit (if no
separate credit limit is assigned to the Supplementary Card(s) or as the case may be,
up to the whole amount of the assigned credit limit of his/her Supplementary Card(s)
(if a separate credit limit is assigned) after the date of the statement so long as the
aggregate charges on the Card and Supplementary Card(s) do not exceed your Credit
Limit or the Customer Credit Limit, whichever is lower.

4.8 You can set a separate limit that will apply to the Card of a Supplementary Cardholder,
provided it is less than the overall Credit Limit or Customer Credit Limit applicable to
your Card Account. That separate credit limit is part of the overall Credit Limit
applicable to your Account. Even though the Supplementary Card(s) may have a
separate credit limit, if such has been assigned, we are entitled (but not obliged), as we
reasonably deem fit in accordance with Section 3 above, to approve transactions that
result in the credit limit of the Supplementary Card(s) being exceeded, in which event
you must still pay us for all charges made by your Supplementary Cardholder(s)
including the amounts in excess of the assigned credit limit. Please see Section 3 on
“Excess of Credit Limit – Overlimit” for further details on exceeding the credit limit.

4.9 If there is a shared limit between principal Card and Supplementary Card, your request
for an increase in your Credit Limit will also cause the Credit Limit of the Supplementary
Cards to increase as well unless you request otherwise.

4.10 Unless the Supplementary Card is terminated earlier than the principal Card for any
reasons, the Supplementary Card(s) is valid for so long that the Card is valid. Upon the
termination of the Card for whatever reason, the use of the Supplementary Card(s) will
also terminate. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and/or the

28
Supplementary Cardholder(s) will be liable to us for all amounts and charges due and
owing to us howsoever arising from the use by the Supplementary Cardholder(s) of his
own Supplementary Card(s).

What a Supplementary Cardholder can and cannot do


4.11 A Supplementary Cardholder will be able to operate the Card Account and use the
Supplementary Card (and if they are issued with one or some Security Codes or Devices,
our Digital Banking Services) in the same way that you can. However, in the event that
any transaction is performed by Supplementary Cardholder, only Principal Cardholder
will receive notification/transaction alert via SMS or any notification via other channel
with regards to any transaction performed by Supplementary Cardholder. To the
extent that this agreement relates to the use, operation or security of a Card, Card
Account, Security Code or Device references to ‘you’ and “your” mean you and/or any

What if you no longer want the Supplementary Cardholder on


your Card Account?

be); or

(b) way of written instruction to us to the address or channel designated by us.

4.14 We will cancel the Card held by the Supplementary Cardholder as soon as reasonably
practicable, but it may take some time. You will continue to be responsible for any
purchases or other transactions made by the Supplementary Cardholder before the
request is processed.

7. Payments
What do you have to pay and how we determine it?
7.1 The outstanding balance appears as the Current Balance as specified in your statement.

7.2 To determine the Current Balance, we begin with the outstanding balance in your Card
Account at the beginning of each billing period. We will add any purchases, Cash
Advances and Monthly Instalments and subtract any credits or payments credited as
of that billing period. We then add the appropriate finance charges and fees and make
the applicable adjustments.

7.3 You must pay at least the amount shown on your credit card statement as the
Minimum Monthly Payment by the Payment Due Date.

7.4 You must also immediately pay any Overlimit Amount and any amount which is

obliged by law or regulation of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, or any agreement
entered into with and between Authorities, to deduct or withhold (whether for
payment of any Taxes or otherwise) any sum from any payment to us, you must
increase the amount of the payment so that the net amount received by us will equal
the amount due to us.

7.8 All such monies and charges payable by you are exclusive of any sales and services tax
or other value added tax (whether imposed in Malaysia or any other jurisdiction) which
will, where applicable, be paid by you in addition to any sums otherwise payable, at the

us to you, you authorise us to withhold and to pay the net sum over to you

36
or to place such sum in any of your Other Bank Accounts with us or such other
Account(s) as you will instruct (unless at such time there are any monies
owing by you to us, in which case we are entitled to deduct the amount of
monies owing).

(b) Any such deductions or withholdings shall be timely paid to the relevant
Authority in accordance with the relevant requirement. You will be notified
of any such deductions or withholdings as soon as reasonably practicable.

Minimum Monthly Payment


7.10 “Minimum Monthly Payment” means:

(a) (i) 5% of the total outstanding balance* (if any);

*Outstanding balance refers to retail transactions amount (if any)


+ Balance Transfer amount (if any) + Cash Advance amount (if
any) + Finance Charges and fees (if any)

(ii) 100% service tax (if any);

(iii) 100% Monthly Instalments (if any); and

(iv) 100% past due amount (if any);

OR

(b) RM50; whichever is higher.

If your Current Balance is below RM50, the Minimum Monthly Payment will
be 100% of your Current Balance.

37
7.11 If the Minimum Monthly Payment amount is unpaid, partly paid or paid after the
Payment Due Date, we may, without affecting your obligation to pay Finance Charges
or our right to terminate or cancel the use of your Card, impose such fees and/or late
payment charges until the Minimum Monthly Payment is paid in full, and/or may allow
you to pay:

(a) if the Current Balance does not exceed your Credit Limit, the current
Minimum Monthly Payment which includes any unpaid previous Minimum
Monthly Payment;

(b) if the Current Balance exceeds your Credit Limit, the current Minimum
Monthly Payment which includes the excess over your Credit Limit and the
unpaid previous Minimum Monthly Payment.

7.12 We reserve the right to terminate or cancel your Card if you continue to default in the
payment of the Minimum Monthly Payment by the Payment Due Date.

How can you make a payment


7.13 You must make payment of all monies, Finance Charges, fees and charges for which
you may become liable in the same currency as the currency of your Card Account
(which is Ringgit Malaysia), and in the manner we reasonably specify from time to time
unless we tell you otherwise. See Section 16 "How can you make a payment?" for any
restrictions on the payment methods that we accept.

7.14 For retail transaction made in currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia (RM), we may
convert at such rate we reasonably deem fit (which determination will be in accordance
with Section 12 below on “International and foreign currency transactions”) any
payment received for any of your Account(s) (in a currency different from that of such
Account(s)) into the currency of that account(s), and you will bear the cost of such
conversion.

Certain payment methods and late payments may attract a fee. For details, please visit
www.citibank.com.my to view the Fees and Charges table. Also see Section 5 above on
Late Payment Charges for further information.

How we process and apply payments


7.15 We will process payments made to your account as soon as reasonably practicable
after receipt of the payment. However, there may be delays in processing your
payment such as if:

(a) the payment has not cleared; or

(b) we receive your payment on a day that is not a Business Day.

38
7.16 If you make a payment and that payment is subsequently dishonoured, a dishonour
fee, may apply. For details, please visit www.citibank.com.my to view the Fees and
Charges table.

7.17 Payment will not be considered to have been made until all relevant funds have been
received for value by us and entered into our records on the day following receipt of
payment by us, and until then, Finance Charges may continue to be charged. For the
avoidance of any doubt, even if balances reflected on Citibank Online or Citi Mobile®
App has captured inbound transfer or payments effected by you, payment made on
non-Business Days i.e. Saturday, Sunday or gazetted public holidays in Malaysia may
not enter into our records on those days.

For the avoidance of further doubt:

(a) any transactions via cash deposit, cheques or other negotiable instrument
shall be deemed as having been made:

(i) if by a deposit of cash, upon verification by our designated


personnel of the deposit and the amount and when the amount is
entered into our records; or

(ii) if by a deposit of cheques or other negotiable instruments, upon


verification by our designated personnel of the deposit, the
amount and the Cardholders or drawer’s title to such cheques and
other negotiable instruments, and when the amount of such
deposit in cleared funds is entered into our records.

(b) the return slip generated automatically by our cash deposit machine and
cheque deposit machine only confirms the deposit has been transacted but
not the amount deposited, hence will not be treated as received for value
until the amount transferred is entered into our records; and

(c) any payments made by debit instruction or fund transfers, for example, Inter-
bank GIRO System, Citibank Online or CitiPhone Banking, shall be deemed as
having been made, if the transfer on the day following cleared funds, our
receipt of the same and/or when the amount is entered into our records.

How we apply payments


7.18 If any law requires us to apply payments in an order, we will apply payments in that
order. For more details of how we apply your payments, see Section 16 "How are the
payments applied?".

8. Errors, disputed transactions, chargebacks
and refunds
Identifying errors on your Card Account

to dispute a transaction on your Card Account, you must notify us by contacting
CitiPhone Banking as soon as possible and no later, for disputed transaction, than 14
days after your receipt of the credit card statement on which the transaction is
recorded.

8.5 If you have a problem with goods or services purchased using a Card then in some
circumstances the applicable card network rules may allow us to charge a transaction
on the Card Account back to the merchant involved in the transaction. This is known as
a chargeback.

8.6 If it is available, we will claim a chargeback right for a transaction on your Card Account
if:

(a) you ask us to do so; and

(b) you give us the correct information and exchanged with the merchant any
other relevant information or material we require to support a chargeback,
within 14 days after the date of the credit card statement on which the
transaction is recorded.

8.7 If, within the time limit set by the credit card network rules, you tell us that you want
to dispute a transaction on a Card, then we:

(a) will claim the relevant amount back if we find it has been incorrectly charged
and you have not contributed to the loss; or

(b) may accept the merchant’s refusal to make that chargeback if the refusal is
made in a way allowed under the relevant card network rules.

8.8 The ability to dispute a transaction may be lost if it is not reported to us within the
applicable timeframes. However, the timeframes for disputing a transaction will not

40
apply where we are bound by an applicable law, guideline or code which allows a longer
time.

8.9 Where your request for a chargeback is not settled to your satisfaction, we will tell you
the available subsequent procedures for further investigation and resolution of the
dispute.

8.10 Despite any dispute and/or chargeback right you may have in relation to a transaction
made using your Card we are not liable should you encounter any problems with the
goods or services that you obtained through the use of your Card. Even in case of non-
delivery, non-performance or defects of the goods or services, you must pay us the full
amount charged to your Card Account for the goods or services purchased. If you have
a dispute with merchants, you must resolve it directly with them. We are not liable or
responsible for the quantity, quality or any other aspect of the goods or services
supplied to you by a merchant. In particular, you and the merchant have to agree on
the setting up, modification or termination of any direct debit arrangement to charge
payments to your Card Account. We have the right not to act on any request to set up,
modify or terminate such arrangement if there is any dispute between you and the
merchant.

Conclusive Evidence
8.11 Any admission or acknowledgement in writing by you or any person authorised by you
of your amount of indebtedness to us, and any judgment recovered by us against you
in respect of such indebtedness is binding and conclusive in all Courts of law in Malaysia
and elsewhere save where there is fraud or manifest error (for example, unauthorized
transactions or fraudulent or wrong entries).

8.12 You agree that a certificate of indebtedness issued by any one of our officers is
conclusive and binding evidence as to the amount due to us under your Card Account
save where there is fraud or manifest error (for example, unauthorized transactions or
fraudulent or wrong entries). Such certificate is conclusive evidence against you in any
legal proceedings.

Refunds by us
8.13 We will give you a refund:

(a) as set out in this agreement; or

(b) when a dispute is resolved in your favour; or

(c) if we receive a refund (or some other refund verification acceptable to us)
from a merchant.

8.14 Refunds will reduce your Card Account balance but do not count towards your next
monthly repayment obligations.

41
8.15 Please see Section 12 “Credit balance” on refunds of your credit balance.

Merchant Refunds
8.16 A merchant refund will be credited to your Card Account. We will not return the refund
to you in cash. We can determine the part of the Unpaid Balance to which the refund
will be credited. Merchant refunds of purchases that have earned you rewards points
will result in a corresponding reduction in your rewards points. If you consider that a
merchant refund has not been applied correctly, please contact us.

Merchant Surcharges
8.17 Some merchants, including those located overseas, may charge you a fee for using your
Card to make a purchase or obtain a Cash Advance. The fee may be a percentage of
your transaction or a flat fee and will be added to the amount of your transaction.
Usually the merchant will tell you about this fee before you use your Card, but not
always. We do not control these surcharges, cannot prevent them and are not
responsible if they are charged to you.

currency, the transaction will be converted into Ringgit Malaysia using US Dollars as

Citibank’s prevailing foreign exchange rate and/or an exchange rate determined by the
relevant Payment Network. The conversion rate is subject to administration charges
levied by the Payment Network and in addition, a foreign exchange conversion markup

as reasonably determined by Citibank and notified to you. For details, please visit

refund (which will be in Malaysian Ringgit) might be different from the
amount of the original transaction.

relevant Payment Network on any transactions made in foreign currency, we will not
be responsible to settle such disputes on your behalf.

19.21 Our decision on all matters relating to the GIRO service will be final and binding on you

Recurring Card Instructions


19.22 For the purpose of this Section 19 on “Recurring Card Instructions”:

(a) “Service” means the auto-billing service which you may have registered with
us or any Merchant in relation to payments due to the Merchant under
which, you

(i) authorise Merchant to charge the card at a later date as initiated


by you or initiated by Merchant; and/or

(ii) authorise us to auto-debit your Card of such amount(s) for


purposes of making recurring charges to the Merchant on a
monthly basis or at other intervals.

(b) “Merchant” or “Merchants” mean the merchants included for the Service
from time to time.

19.23 When you give a Merchant a Recurring Card Instruction to debit amount from your
Card, you authorise us to pay any such amounts and charge them to your account.

19.24 We use reasonable endeavours to debit your account on the days nominated by you
for periodic payments but may not always do so for instance if the day on which your
account is debited is not a Business Day, or if we or another payment system participant
cannot process a payment on that day, the debit will usually be made on the next
Business Day.

19.25 Before each auto-debit, you must ensure that you have available credit under your
Card Account to enable that payment to be made within your Credit Limit.

19.26 If your Card Account does not have sufficient Credit Limit available to cover the amount
of the payment we can still, at our reasonable discretion and subject to the terms of
this agreement, honour the transaction. By honouring a transaction this may cause

79
your Credit Limit to be exceeded. However, this does not change your Credit Limit.
Please see Section 3 “Excess of Credit Limit – Overlimit” for further information on
exceeding the Credit Limit.

19.27 If you wish to cancel the Recurring Card Instructions registered with the Merchant, you
will need to contact the relevant Merchant to request for the cancellation. Until you
cancel your Recurring Card Instruction with the Merchant(s), we will be entitled to
make settlements or payment of the said charges/payment to such Merchant(s) on
good faith so long as we receive billings from such Merchant(s) and you will still be
responsible for paying such payments made by us to the Merchant(s). Please retain a
copy of your request to change or cancel the Service with a merchant or a service
provider. You can challenge a transaction if the Merchant(s) or a service provider has
not acted in accordance with your instructions.

19.28 If your Card number or card expiry date is changed as a result of your Card is cancelled
or your account is closed or your Card being replaced for reasons such as fraud, lost or
stolen card, unauthorized transactions, renewal of expiring card or upgrading of
existing card, you must update the Merchant with latest card information (i) prior to
the next scheduled payment or (ii) within the period of time reasonably specified by us
and notified to you in advance (whichever later). Unless you have cancelled or changed
the details as aforesaid or expressly informed us not to transfer your Recurring Card
Instruction, you authorise us to, if we reasonably choose:

(a) to provide your replacement Card details to the Merchant to update the
Recurring Card Instructions or tell the Merchant that your Card has been
cancelled or the account has been closed; and/or

(b) where the Card has been replaced, treat Recurring Card Instruction as
applying to your replacement Card and/or expiry date (as the case may be);
or

(c) to both paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

19.29 If we do that, your Card Account will continue to be debited in accordance with that
Recurring Card Instruction from your replacement Card except that your new
replacement Card number and expiry date will be used (instead of that of the previous
Card), to ensure the non-interruption of the Service and/or Card-on File Transaction
regardless whether you have activated the replacement Card or not.

19.30 If you have not updated the Recurring Card Instruction and have expressly informed us
not to transfer your Recurring Card Instruction, we will not make any payment of the
said recurring charges to all or any of the Merchants, in which event you will be
responsible for paying the unpaid said recurring charges directly to the Merchant by
other means.

19.31 You expressly authorise us to disclose the replacement Card details to the Merchants
to whom your Card is presented and/or any member institution of any card
associations or their successors-in-title and assigns or any interested persons, from

80
time to time for purposes in relation to providing the Service and expressly consent to
such disclosure and confirm and declare that no further consent from you is necessary
or required in relation to such purposes and we will be under no liability for disclosing
such information. This will constitute the consent required pursuant to any statutory
or contractual consent for such disclosures.

19.32 To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold us harmless against
all losses, costs, damages, expenses, claims and demands (legal or otherwise including
costs on a solicitor-and-client and full indemnity basis) which we may incur or sustain
in relation to providing the Service to you and where such losses, costs, damages,
expenses, claims and demands have been caused by you and/or anything ordinarily
within your reasonable contemplation or control.

19.33 Regardless of the Service and our transferring your existing standing instructions to
ensure non-interruption of the Service to you, you remain fully responsible to comply
with all terms and conditions existing between the Merchant and you in the relevant
underlying contract(s) between yourselves and your obligations set out in such
contract(s) will continue to be binding between you and the Merchant.

19.34 We can refuse to act on any Recurring Card Instruction or any request to set up, change
or cancel a Recurring Card Instruction if there is a dispute between you and the
Merchant.

until the date of repayment in full and the Cash Advance fee.

Our Right to Outsource Debt Collection or Sell the Defaulted


Credit Loan
23.8 You agree that if we may, at our discretion outsource our debt collection rights to third
parties and/or sell your defaulted credit loan to a third party by giving you adequate
prior written notice.

23.9 You expressly agree that we may appoint an agent (“the Agent”) to collect all sums due
and owing to us from you under these terms and conditions and we may disclose to
the Agent your Card Account and any other relevant information relating to your Card
Account to assist the collection of all sums due and owing to us by you.

at your last known address as notified to us.

Consolidation of Accounts and Set-Off


23.11 As noted above, in the event of the occurrence of any of the Event or Events of Default,
we may, at any time with adequate prior written notice:

(a) combine or consolidate any of your Other Bank Accounts with us (whether
located in or outside of Malaysia and whether in Ringgit Malaysia or in any
other currency); and/or

(b) transfer or set-off any sums standing in credit in your Other Bank Accounts
(whether matured or not and including a joint account with a Supplementary
Cardholder and a joint account with any other person),

towards discharge of all sums due to us under any of your account(s) with us even if
the credit balances and the liabilities in any or all of your Other Bank Accounts may not
be expressed in the same currency.

23.12 You authorise us to make any necessary conversions at our prevailing exchange rates
(which will be determined by us at our discretion and as we deem fit in accordance

balances in any or all of your Other Bank Accounts and the sums due are not expressed
in the same currency. Further, you authorize us to make any necessary conversions at
our own rate of exchange then prevailing at the date of set-off. The consequence of
accounts being combined will be that one balance remains and if that is a debit balance,
you will remain liable to us for that amount.

89
23.13 The consequence of set-off is that amounts that you and we owe to each other are
reduced by the same amount. We will not exercise these rights so as to cause a liability
to become secured if we agree that it would not be secured.

23.14 Notice will be given to you prior to the set-off or consolidation of your accounts.

23.15 In the case of joint accounts,

(a) we may set-off the liabilities of any joint account holder to us on any accounts
against the credit balance in the joint accounts; and

the joint account holders, our rights above will also extend to credit balances
to which all the joint account holders are singly or jointly entitled.

you will not, without first obtaining our prior written consent, withdraw or cause any
act that would result in the withdrawal of such monies. We reserve the right to earmark
such monies before the setting-off by giving adequate prior written notice to you.

Suspense Account
23.17 To the fullest extent permitted by law, to enable us to preserve the liability of any party,
including yourself, once a writ or summons or any originating process has been issued
or to prove in your bankruptcy or insolvency or for other reasons as we reasonably
think fit or necessary for such purpose, we may place and keep any monies received,
recovered or realized under these terms and conditions or any other security or
guarantee to your credit, without any intermediate obligation on our part to use such
monies to discharge the sums due and owing to us.

Will you be liable to pay enforcement/collection expenses?


23.18 Enforcement /collection expenses may become payable under the agreement in the
event of a default. If you are in default, we may recover reasonable expenses we
reasonably incur in enforcing our rights after you are in default. These would include
all legal costs (including costs on a solicitor and client basis), charges and expenses
incurred to enforce this agreement or incurred by us in obtaining or seeking to obtain
payment of monies owing by you to us.

23.19 We may charge these enforcement expenses to your Card Account and those
enforcement expenses will be payable immediately.

day from the date it is posted.

27.33 Where you do not reside in Malaysia, you undertake to nominate an agent with an
address in Malaysia to accept service of any legal process in Malaysia, if requested to
do so by us. Such agent must acknowledge in writing to us of its appointment as such
agent and service of legal process on the agent will be deemed good service on you.

27.34 For the purposes of this Section 27 on “Service of Legal Process”, “legal process”
includes all forms of originating process, pleadings, interlocutory applications of
whatever nature, affidavits, orders and such other documents and notices as may be
required to be given or served under any legislation or subsidiary legislation.

monitoring and/or recording may be done and that no additional notice to you or
additional approval from you is needed. You agree and authorise us to use such

legal proceedings.

information or documents that we are required to give you in relation to any credit

making them available for a reasonable period on our information system for retrieval
by electronic communications by you, messaging in mobile apps (Citi Mobile® App) and
through social media platforms. In this case, paper documents may no longer be given
