About the Offer
You will receive the $120 cashback 12 months after all your accounts are approved and activated, and you've met all the criteria.

To meet the $120 cashback criteria, you will have to deposit a minimum total of $3,000 by the last business day every month for 12 months into your Citibank Plus Account.
No, as long as you've deposited a minimum total of $3,000 during the course of the month into your Citibank Plus account. However, depositing your salary is an easy way to meet this minimum requirement.
We will advise you by email that your account is open. You will also receive a Citibank debit card, ATM PIN and deposit book (if requested) in the mail. We will also send you a CitiPhone Banking Telephone PIN (TPIN).
From the time we receive your application and identification documents, it can take up to five business days to activate your account(s).
Unfortunately, current Citibank customers already holding a Citibank Plus account and Citibank Online saver are not eligible to apply for this introductory offer.
Once you choose to close one or more of your Citibank accounts, your Citibank Starter Package will cease.
Simply complete the switching form available online citibank.com.au/switch or visit your nearest Citibank branch.
Direct debits are an agreement between yourself and the merchant or service provider, therefore you will need to contact the company directly to advise them of your new account details. For details about switching bank accounts, visit citibank.com.au/switch
You need to contact your previous financial institution personally to close your account. You should first make sure all your service providers have redirected any direct credits or debits to your new account before you close your old account.
