Automated Clearing House Transfers (For US Customers only)

Automated Clearing House Transfers (For US Customers only)

Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transfers is a nationwide electronic transfer facility available for customers in the United States. You will need to login to Citibank Online and register your US Bank Account as a Source Account to transfer funds using the ACH facility.

To transfer funds using the ACH facility, you will need to login to Citibank Online and register your US Bank Account as a Source Account.

Registering your US Bank Account is a 3-Step process.

Step 1 : Register

  • Login to your Rupee Checking Account at Citibank Online.
  • Provide details - US Bank Account, Name on your US Bank Account, Name of the Bank, Type of Account and Routing (or ABA) Number.
  • Once registered, we will initiate a debit and credit transaction from this account, typically 3-4 business days after you register your Source Account.

Step 2 : Verify

  • Login to your Rupee Checking Account and confirm the debit-credit amount to complete the verification process.
  • It is important to ensure that you enter the correct verification amount. If you do not enter the correct amount within 3 times, for your protection, your Source Account will get blocked and you will not be able to complete the registration process.

Step 3 : Remit

  • Start transferring funds from your US Bank Account to your Rupee Checking Account right away.
  • It will take up to 5 Business days for funds to be available for use in your Rupee Checking Account from the time you initiate the transfer. The exchange rate for your transfers will be displayed to you prior to completing your transfer.
