Citibank Keeps their 5.00% Checking Account Offer Alive

September 26, 2007
By MoneyRates team | Money-Rates Columnist

Citibank is still promoting their 5.00% Direct Ultimate checking account

To qualify for the higher rate, you must complete at least two electronic bill payment transactions - through Citibank Online, Citi Mobile or Citiphone Banking® - from your linked eligible checking account† during each calendar month. If you don’t complete the online bill payments, you will still earn a competitive APY on your ultimate money account.

No miminim balance requirements

Account can be opened online at citibank.com
