Authenticate your transactions on Citibank Online using the Citi Mobile® App
We have launched a safer way to authenticate your transactions on Citibank Online (for laptop and desktop users) if you are registered for the Citi Mobile® App Enhanced Security capability (“registered user”).
If you are a registered user, you will be prompted to authenticate your transaction securely by scanning the QR code on screen via the Citi Mobile® App and performing Biometric or Password authentication. You will not be required to key in your Transaction Authorization Code or SMS One-Time PIN (“OTP”).
