NEW YORK – Citibank announced the launch of Citi Pay, a new digital wallet for online, in-app and in-store payments.

Citi Pay will be made available to Citi customers for online and in-app purchases by using the same online user ID and password that they currently use to manage their existing online Citi account. Citi is partnering with MasterCard to leverage its digital payment service, Masterpass, to enable the online and in-app transactions.

For Android users, the digital wallet enables Citi cardholders to make in-store purchases by tapping their Android mobile devices at any NFC-enabled point-of-sale terminal.

Citi Pay will also launch in the U.S. in early 2017, with online, in-app and tap-and-pay capabilities. Further Citi Pay launches in additional markets will follow. Later this year, Citi Pay will roll-out to Citi customers in Singapore, Australia and Mexico with tap-and-pay capabilities.

Earlier this year in the U.S., Citi joined Early Warning’s clearXchange network, which will enable Citi’s online and mobile banking customers to send or receive real-time person-to-person (P2P) payments to or from customers of participating network banks. Also in 2016, Citi enabled Samsung Pay for its card members in Singapore and Australia.
