Step 2: Logging into Citibank Online
The primary way to find your account number is through Citibank's official website.
Sub-heading 2.1: Visiting the Official Citibank Website
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the official Citibank website. Always double-check the URL to ensure you're on the legitimate site (e.g., www.citibank.com).
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Sub-heading 2.2: Entering Your Credentials
On the Citibank homepage, you'll see a section for "Sign On" or "Login."
- Enter your User ID in the designated field.
- Enter your Password in the password field.
- Click on the "Sign On" or "Login" button.
If you've forgotten your User ID or Password, look for the "Forgot User ID" or "Forgot Password" links on the login page. Follow the prompts to retrieve or reset your credentials. This usually involves verifying your identity through methods like an OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your registered mobile number or email.
Step 3: Navigating to Your Account Details
Once successfully logged in, you'll be on your Citibank Online dashboard.
Sub-heading 3.1: Locating Your Accounts Overview
You'll typically see an overview of all your linked Citibank accounts (checking, savings, credit cards, etc.). Look for a section that lists your accounts. It might be labeled "My Accounts," "Account Summary," or similar.
Sub-heading 3.2: Selecting the Desired Account
Click on the specific checking or savings account for which you need the account number. This will usually take you to a detailed view of that account's transactions and information.
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Sub-heading 3.3: Viewing Your Account Number
Within the account's detailed view, look for a section titled "Account Information," "Account Details," or similar. Your account number, along with other details like your routing number, will be displayed here.
- Important Note on Display: For security reasons, Citibank often masks your full account number, showing only the last few digits. You might see something like "XXXX-XXXX-1234."
- Unmasking the Full Account Number: If your full account number is masked, look for an option to "Unmask Account Number," "View Full Account Number," or a similar button/link. Clicking this will likely require an additional layer of security verification, such as entering an OTP sent to your registered mobile device. This is a crucial security measure to protect your financial information.
Step 4: Using the Citi Mobile® App (Alternative Method)
If you prefer using your mobile device, the Citi Mobile® App also provides a convenient way to access your account number.
Sub-heading 4.1: Downloading and Logging into the App
- Download the official Citi Mobile® App from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).
- Open the app and log in using your Citibank Online User ID and Password. You might have the option to enable biometric login (fingerprint or face ID) for faster and more secure access in the future.
Sub-heading 4.2: Accessing Account Information in the App
Once logged in:

- Navigate to the "Accounts" section or your account dashboard.
- Tap on the specific checking or savings account you wish to view.
- Look for "Account Details," "Account Information," or an icon (like a small "i" for information) that leads to more details about the account.
- Similar to the online banking platform, your account number will be displayed, potentially masked. You will likely need to go through a verification step (like an OTP) to unmask the full number.
Step 5: Additional Ways to Find Your Citibank Account Number (If Online Access Isn't Possible)
While online access is the most convenient, there are other methods if you face issues or prefer alternatives:
- Bank Statement: Your full account number is typically printed on your monthly or quarterly bank statements.
- Checkbook: Your account number is usually printed at the bottom of your checks, between the routing number and the check number.
- Contact Citibank Customer Service: If you're unable to find it through online banking or the mobile app, or if you don't have access to your statements or checks, you can always call Citibank customer service. Be prepared to go through a rigorous identity verification process.
Remember: Your account number is highly sensitive information. Only share it with trusted parties and when absolutely necessary. Be wary of phishing attempts or suspicious requests for your account details.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
