Citibank Digital, Client Experience, Marketing & Analytics head Elyse Lesley said: “Citi is constantly looking for ways to make banking more convenient by connecting with our customers when and how they want to be served, especially with respect to security and protection.

“Since our customers are increasingly active on mobile or online, we’re giving them another tool to directly control their account activity across the bank.”

Citi has reported that the number of active digital customers in the North American Consumer Bank rose 13% year over year in the third quarter, while the number of active mobile users increased by 22% during the same period.
