Citibank's exchange rates for wire transfers are generally competitive and transparent, which makes it a good choice for customers who need to send or receive money internationally. However, it's always a good idea to compare rates and fees across different banks and financial institutions to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.
FX Order Watch: Citibank's FX Order Watch allows customers to set their own exchange rates and automatically execute foreign exchange transactions when the desired exchange rate is reached.
When you get a quote for your Citibank Wire Transfer from their website or in-app, you will see the Citibank exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much mark-up you are being charged.
While all banks charge this mark-up, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.
Sending or receiving international transfers to or from your Citibank bank account will include a margin rate of between 3.5% to 8% – this is much higher than most money transfer broker rates (which are normally 0.5 to 1.5%).
