Update your card details
Your new Citi Debit Card has a different number and expiry date. It's important to update these card details as soon as possible with any retailers who hold them, like Amazon, eBay or Google.
Please don't forget to update your card details for any regular payments set up against your card, such as monthly subscription payments to Spotify or Netflix.
If you use PayPal you will also need to update your new card details with them.
Protect your online purchases with Mastercard® SecureCode™
Mastercard SecureCode uses One Time Passwords, which provides an easy way of identifying yourself to Citi Security when shopping online.
Once you enter your card details, Mastercard SecureCode may ask you to enter a six-digit One Time Password which will be sent by text from 'Citibank' to the mobile phone you have registered with us. This must be entered in the on-screen box to authenticate the purchase and help prevent card fraud.
Make sure we have your correct mobile number. As One Time Passwords are sent to you by text, it's vital we have your up-to-date mobile number to ensure payments are authorised smoothly.
If you haven't registered your mobile number with us, or if you think the number we have for you is out of date, please call us on +44 207 500 1445 to update your number.
