When you have numerous payment methods linked to your Citi Card, managing your finances and keeping track of all your accounts can become a bit overwhelming. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s perfectly reasonable to want to streamline your payment system by removing some of those options. Citibank makes it easy for cardholders to remove other payment options from their Citi Card so that you can simplify your finances and focus on the payment methods you prefer.
Before you begin the process of removing other payment options from your Citi Card, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the different types of payment methods that you can have linked to your account. Citibank offers a variety of options, including checking accounts, savings accounts, and other credit cards. Once you’ve identified the payment options that you want to remove, you can follow these simple steps to complete the process.
To remove other payment options from your Citi Card, you’ll need to sign in to your online account. Once you’re logged in, hover over the “Service” tab and click on “Manage Accounts.” From there, select the “Payment Options” tab and then click on the “Remove” button next to the payment option that you want to delete. You’ll be prompted to confirm your decision, and once you do, the payment option will be removed from your account. However, it’s important to note that if you remove a checking account or savings account from your Citi Card, you’ll need to set up a new default payment method. You can do this by clicking on the “Add” button next to the “Default Payment Method” section.
