Dear Valued Customers,

Re: Phasing Out Non- CTCS (Cheque Truncation & Conversion) Compliant Cheques

We refer to our previous letter informing you about Bank Negara Malaysia’s introduction of the Cheque Truncation and Conversion System (“CTCS”).

Please be advised that cheques under the pre-CTCS design will not be accepted for clearing by Bank Negara Malaysia effective from 1 September 2009 (“Cut-Off Date”). We would like to advise customers who have not applied for a new chequebook since 1 October 2007 to do so before the Cut-Off Date to avoid interruptions to the usage of your cheque facility.

How to identify CTCS design cheques?

You may apply for your new chequebooks by logging into Citibank Online [Account Services > Order Checkbook > Select quantity], via CitiPhone at 03-2383 0000 (Kuala Lumpur), 04-296 0000 (Penang) or 07-268 0000 (Johor Bahru) or walk into any one of our branches.

Thank you and we look forward to continuously serve you better.

Yours truly,

Paul HodesRetail Bank Head
