Citibank's Multi-Currency Account. Easy access for expats on the move.
James is an engineer who recently resettled in Australia from the UK. He held personal savings in British Pound Sterling (GBP) and wanted to earn interest and retain this currency until the exchange rate was more favourable. He was also waiting on the sale proceeds of his UK property.
Citibank's Multi-Currency Account proved the ideal vehicle for James, providing a place to park his GBP funds, until the preferred exchange rate was available to exchange into AUD. He was able to manage the transfer locally with the support of Citibank's foreign currency specialists. James decided to combine his Multi Currency Account with a Citibank Plus account enabling him to view his Australian and GBP accounts in one convenient place.

Citibank Multi-Currency Account helps business owners manage foreign currency conversion.
Tony is a small business owner, who regularly imports stock from Hong Kong. He needed a flexible account in order to make regular payments in USD. He sought local expert advice from Citibank's foreign currency specialists on how he could more effectively manage the conversion of his currency and they were able to help him set up a Multi-Currency Account so he could manage his foreign currency needs in Australia and also recommended a Currency Exchange Order Watch Contract for the foreign currency conversion. This advice enabled Tony to convert his currency at a preferred conversion rate and hold it in USD until he needed to transfer the funds to Hong Kong. Ultimately, Tony was able to save valuable time because he did not have to continually monitor the market waiting for his preferred conversion.
