How Checking Accounts are MaintainedFor accounting purposes, all Citibank consumer checking accounts (RegularChecking, Interest Checking and Basic Banking Account) consist of two sub-accounts; a transaction sub-account to which all financial transactions areposted; and a holding sub-account into which available balances above a pre-set level are transferred daily. Funds will be transferred to your transactionsub-account to meet your transactional needs. For Regular Checking andBasic Banking Account, both sub-accounts are non-interest bearing. ForInterest Checking, both sub-accounts pay the same interest rate.Transfers can occur on any business day.Transfers to the holding sub-accountwill be made whenever available balances in the transaction sub-accountexceed a preset level.Transfers from the holding sub-account to thetransaction sub-account will be made whenever transaction sub-accountbalances fall below a predetermined level. Because banking regulationslimit the number of transfers between these types of sub-accounts, allbalances in the holding sub-account will be transferred to the transactionsub-account in the sixth transfer in any calendar month.Both sub-accounts are treated as a single account for purposes of the client’sdeposits and withdrawals, access and information, tax reporting, fees, etc.

Substitute Checks and Your RightsWhat is a substitute check? The following information applies tothose customers who received a “substitute” check from us instead of theoriginal check (such as those customers receiving original paid checks withtheir periodic account statements).Federal Law allows banks to replace original checks with “substitutechecks”. A substitute check is a paper reproduction created from a digitalimage of the front and back of the original check and bears the legend“This is a legal copy of your check”. Under the law, a substitute check isthe “legal equivalent” of the original check. In other words, it can be usedin the same way and for all purposes you would use the original check.Your Rights. The following rights apply if you receive a substitute checkfrom us in lieu of the original check.These rights do not apply to originalchecks or to electronic debits.Your rights as to these transactions remainunchanged and are described in other sections of this Manual. Please notethese rights also do not apply to images of checks furnished to you orviewed through Citibank Online.You may request a refund for losses youincur if you believe a substitute check you have received from us is incorrectlyposted to your account (for example, if your account was debited for thewrong amount) and production of the original check is needed to determinethe validity of the charge.The losses you may attempt to recover may includethe amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that werecharged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, bounced check fees.)The amount of the refund you may request is limited to the amount of yourloss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less.You are alsoentitled to interest if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your lossexceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recoveradditional amounts under other laws.Under federal law, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plusinterest if you have an interest-bearing account) within 10 business daysafter we receive a complete claim from you and the remainder of yourrefund not later than 45 calendar days after we receive a complete claimfrom you.You will not be entitled to a refund if we determine that thesubstitute check was correctly posted to your account. Alternatively, wemay reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we laterdetermine that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.Filing a Claim. If you believe a substitute check you have received fromus was improperly debited to your account, please call CitiPhone Banking atthe number indicated on the back cover of this Manual.You must contact uswithin 40 calendar days of the date we mailed or otherwise made availableto you the substitute check in question.We may extend the time period ifyou were prevented from contacting us for extenuating reasons.

If so, we must receive the information in writing within ten businessdays from the day you first notified the bank of your claim. If you are not able

Special Availability Services

This section outlines two Citibank services that can help you to reduceor eliminate the time it takes for funds from your checking accountdeposits to be made available for withdrawal, and cover overdrafts.

Checks-as-CashOur Checks-as-Cash® service gives you faster access to funds you depositinto your checking account by using the combined available balances inyour other linked Citibank accounts as coverage for your check deposits.You can designate the balances in your Certificates of Deposit, Money Marketand Day-to-Day Savings accounts as coverage. If you have Checking Plus®,your line of credit is automatically designated as a covering account.Thereis no service charge for Checks-as-Cash, and your CD, savings, and MoneyMarket Accounts will continue to earn interest without interruption.For example, you could designate a $6,000 Certificate of Deposit, a $1,500Day-to-Day Savings account, and a $1,700 Money Market Account – a totalof $9,200 in coverage.Then, assuming that these funds are not coveringany previous withdrawals, you could deposit checks worth up to $9,200 atany Citibank ATM location and write checks or make cash withdrawalsagainst those funds immediately, even if there are no other funds in yourchecking account.Contributing Accounts. Certificates of Deposit, Day-to-Day Savings,Money Market Accounts and Checking Plus® line of credit may be linkedto your checking account as contributing accounts for Checks-as-Cashcoverage. All account owners of any joint account must authorize us tolink it for this service if account ownership is not identical on all accounts.Retirement and Passbook Savings Accounts may not be designated ascontributing accounts.The maximum amount of coverage available from Certificates of Depositis $35,000.The maximum amount of coverage from Day-to-Day Savings,Money Market Accounts and Checking Plus is equal to the available balanceor available line of credit of these accounts.Availability of Deposits. As part of the Checks-as-Cash service, youwill be able to make cash withdrawals and write checks against a depositbefore that deposit would otherwise be available to you. If you make thedeposit at a Citibank ATM, your funds will be available immediately andyou will be able to withdraw up to $1,000 in cash the same day. If youmake your deposit with a Financial Associate or mail it in, the funds fromyour deposit will be available to you on the calendar day following thebusiness day your deposit is received.

You are limited to six transfers per calendar month from your MoneyMarket Accounts. For U.S. residents, federal regulations require Citibank tolimit the total number of certain kinds of transfers (including Safety Checktransfers) from your Day-to-Day Savings Account when your Day-to-DaySavings Account has a balance of $100,000 or less. For details, see the“Limits on Transfers” section on page 22.If the total number of transfers has reached the applicable monthly limit,no Safety Check transfers will be made for the remainder of that periodand checks which overdraw your checking account will be returned.

3130

Deposit Coverage. An amount equal to your deposit must remain inyour contributing accounts during the time it takes for your deposit tobecome available in the ordinary course of business (as if you did nothave Checks-as-Cash) and will not be available to cover other depositsthroughout this time. However, the amount of interest your contributingaccounts earn is not affected during this period, nor will you be chargedinterest on Checking Plus as a result of the coverage. Only if a withdrawalmust be made from a contributing account, as explained below, would areduction in interest or an interest charge occur.Charges to Contributing Accounts. If you deposit a check that isreturned to us unpaid, or if for some reason we do not find a check in thecorrect amount in the Citibank ATM machine you use to make the deposit,we will deduct the necessary amount from your checking account. If yourchecking account is overdrawn as a result, a loan will be made from yourChecking Plus account to pay the overdraft. If you do not have CheckingPlus, or if your Checking Plus is fully used, you will need to cover the amountof such an overdraft or we will exercise our right of set off. If we have towithdraw from a CD, early withdrawal penalty will result.Termination. We reserve the right to change these rules upon noticeto you or to withdraw this service at any time.We may terminate yourparticipation in this service for any reason, including overdue payment toyour Checking Plus or misrepresentation of your Citibank ATM deposits.Availability of Checking Account Deposits. Checks-as-Cash coveragealso enables you to make cash withdrawals and write checks against a depositto your checking account before that deposit would ordinarily be available,up to the available balance in your contributing account. If you make thedeposit at a Citibank ATM, you will be able to withdraw up to $1,000 in cashfrom a Citibank ATM the same day. If you make the deposit with a FinancialCenter Associate or mail it in, the funds will be available to you on the cal-endar day following the business day the deposit is received. Funds in yourcontributing account will cover the cash withdrawals and check paymentsduring the time it takes for deposited funds to become available.There isno charge for this service, and all funds in the contributing account willcontinue to earn interest. During this interval, the funds used for coveragewill be unavailable for your use or for a Safety Check overdraft transfer. If acheck you deposited is returned and charged against your checking account,any resulting overdraft can be covered by a Safety Check transfer.

Safety CheckSafety Check is an overdraft protection service that covers overdrafts withtransfers from your linked Money Market Accounts or Day-to-Day Savingsaccount.There is a fee for this service. Safety Check will not permit youto get cash or transfer funds from your checking to other accounts ifthere are insufficient funds in your checking account.The linked account also covers the use of deposited funds that are not yetavailable in the checking account.Contributing Accounts. When you sign up for Safety Check, you mayselect one account you maintain at Citibank as your “contributing account.”It can be either a Day-to-Day Savings account or Money Market Accounts.Other types of deposit accounts are not eligible contributing accounts.Only available funds in your contributing account can be used for SafetyCheck coverage. Funds in your contributing account will not be held orset aside for Safety Check overdraft coverage. Until the funds are actuallytransferred to cover an overdraft, you will continue to have full access tothem, and they will continue to earn interest.If the checking or contributing account is a joint account, all owners mustauthorize Safety Check coverage.Overdraft Transfer Maximum. No more than $99,999.99 per calendarmonth will be transferred from your Day-to-Day Savings account or permonthly period from your Money Market Accounts to cover overdrafts in your checking account. If one or more transactions overdraws yourchecking account in a given day, and if you have available funds in yourcontributing account to cover them, only one overdraft transfer will beprocessed for the total overdraft amount.
