Citigroup

You give up court, jury trial, and class actions — any dispute goes to a private arbitrator, and the clause is 'interpreted in the broadest way the law will allow'.

This section provides that disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, have a jury trial or initiate or participate in a class action.

Citi Cardmember Agreement (Arbitration section)

There IS an opt-out, but it's a paper letter with a wet signature within 45 days of opening, per-account — miss the window or open a second account and you're stuck in arbitration.

You may reject this arbitration provision by sending a written rejection notice to us at: PO Box 6195; Sioux Falls, SD 57117-6195. Your rejection notice must be mailed within 45 days of Account opening... include your name, address, Account number and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection notice. Your rejection notice will not apply to the arbitration provision(s) governing any other account(s) that you have or had with us.

Citi Cardmember Agreement (Rules for rejecting this arbitration provision)

Citi can unilaterally rewrite the deal — rates, fees, even add or remove whole clauses — whenever it wants, with notice only if the law requires it.

We may change this Agreement for any reason and at any time, subject to applicable law. This means that we can change rates and fees that apply to your Account. It also means we can add, replace or remove provisions of this Agreement.

Citi Cardmember Agreement (Agreement & Benefit Changes)

One bad 60-day stretch can land you a penalty rate on everything you already owe, and it can last forever unless you claw back with six on-time payments.

If you don't make your next six consecutive Minimum Payments Due on time, the penalty APR may continue to apply indefinitely to existing balances and new Transactions.

Closing your account doesn't stop the data sharing — your info keeps flowing to affiliates and marketers after you leave. (Marketing/joint-marketing sharing also offers no opt-out; affiliates and nonaffiliates sharing is opt-out-by-phone only.)

When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.

Citibank Consumer Privacy Notice (Rev. April 2026)

For deposit accounts, you get 30 days in writing to flag a statement error or Citi disclaims liability, and only one year (two in Texas) from the first statement to sue or arbitrate over it.

Within thirty (30) days after we send or make available to you your account statement and accompanying items, you must notify us in writing of any errors, discrepancies, or unauthorized transactions... If you fail to do so, we will not be liable for debits or charges to your account... You also agree that any suit or demand for arbitration that you assert based on an account error, discrepancy, or unauthorized transaction must be brought within one (1) year (two (2) years in Texas) after the date of the first account statement on which the error, discrepancy, or unauthorized transaction appears.
