Citibank has unveiled a new digital high-yield checking account called ‘Citi Elevate Checking’ with unlimited ATM reimbursements.
The new account will offer customers fee-free access to ATMs in the country with full reimbursement for transactions made at out-of-network ATMs.
Additionally, the Citi Elevate Checking account will pay 1% interest on balances of $25,000 and more. A 0.4% interest will be applicable to account balances between $10,000 and $25,000 and 0.2% for balances less than $10,000.
Citibank will levy $15 as monthly fee on the account. However, the fee will be waived off if the customer maintains an average monthly balance of at least $5,000.
Citibank head of US Deposit Products Harp Rana said: “With ATM fees climbing to record levels, we saw an opportunity to provide customers with two very useful benefits – no ATM fees and an interest rate that’s up to 12 times the national average.
“It’s a win-win offering that couples our leading digital capabilities with nationwide convenience and value. It’s the most compelling all-around digital checking account in the market today.”
