“Citi customers want mobile banking that is fast, easy and makes their lives simpler,” said Citi’s digital and marketing officer Heather Cox.

The app enhancements include:

Mobile Bill Pay Tools: The app now allows customers to add and modify bill payees in addition to making payments. Previously that was possible only through Citibank Online.

Easier Mobile Check Deposits: The app now better leverages the iPhone’s camera to offer an auto-capture feature within Mobile Check Deposit for improved image clarity.

Spend Notifications: Customers can opt to receive real-time push notifications of charges over a pre-set amount to help keep track of spending.

Enhanced Search: Customers can now search and view historical transactions directly in the app.

ATM Finder: The new ATM Finder saves previous searches so customers can locate the nearest ATM even faster.

Make a Payment: Credit card payments are now easier with the addition of the “Make a Payment” button on the account summary page and can be started from Citi Mobile Snapshot mode.

Intuitive Experience: The new app includes numerous navigation improvements to make it faster and easier for customers to complete their banking on the go.

The new Citi Mobile app will power the Apple Watch with features that include recent transactions, account balances and push notifications.

In March 2015, Citi announced the first banking app for Apple Watch. At the time, customers banking on an Apple Watch needed to download a separate app to access their accounts on the watch. Today the Citi Mobile app itself powers the Apple Watch.

Citi is a leading global bank.
