CITI Bank Credit cards

Citibank India, also known as Citi India, is part of the US-based Citigroup. Operating since 1902, Citi India was one of the first banks in India to introduce modern financial services like ATMs, credit cards, and internet banking. Between 1990 and 1995, Citibank started offering credit cards in India, becoming one of the first to do so. A few years ago, Citibank announced its exit from retail banking in 13 countries, including India. In March 2023, Axis Bank acquired Citibank’s Indian consumer business. Despite this change, Citibank assured its customers that they would continue to receive the same level of service. Only existing Citibank customers can apply for new credit cards, as no new cards will be issued to customers from other banks. Even with just eight credit cards in its portfolio, Citibank was a popular credit card issuer in India. As of September 2023, Citibank had over 170,000 active credit cards in the country.
