Go Paper-free - Global Billing

Sustainable business is smart business - that's business as usual for our clients.

Enjoy the convenience of electronic billing invoices while gaining faster access to your information.

Still receiving paper for billing invoices? Go paper-free!

Choose between e–Invoicing, CitiDirectSM, or both!

e-Invoicing

e-Invoicing is a service that delivers billing invoices for cash accounts held with Citibank branches in the North America, Western Europe, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, UAE (select clients), Pakistan, Egypt and Mexico via a password-protected e-mail at the end of the billing period.

e-Invoicing is secure, convenient and easy to access. e-Invoices are distributed in PDF or PDF/Excel format and are delivered to designated inboxes. The invoices can be stored by recipients directly on their computers for easy access and can be established for up to five e-mail addresses per billing invoice.

Virtually all companies and organizations looking to convert their billing invoices from paper to electronic can benefit from e-invoicing. If your organization is not an active user of CitiDirect, we suggest that you take advantage of the e-invoicing solution.

e-Invoicing is provided at no charge to you.

To get started, send an email to citiservice.support@citi.com or your Citi Representative, including:

Once you have signed up to e-Statements, you will receive a welcome email with information on setting up Secure Email. Secure Email can be set up in two ways:

  1. Your Customer Billing Number
  2. The Company Name listed in your billing invoice
  3. E-mail addresses of individuals who should receive the invoices (up to five)
  4. Format preferred of PDF or Excel/PDF

Once e-Invoicing has been implemented and your first billing invoice is available, you will receive an e-mail with a link to a URL to establish a password. You will have 72 hours to establish a password and will then receive your billing invoice.

Your first electronic invoice will either be delivered the same month/quarter you register for e-Invoicing or the following month/quarter. This will depend on the date you register and the frequency of your invoices.

No. When you sign up for e-Invoicing, you also suppress your paper invoices. If you would like to continue to receive paper invoices, contact Citi Service.
