Customer A would qualify for a Funding Reward(s) of AED 5,500 since they funded within 90 days from the account opening date and maintained the Balance for 90 consecutive days.
    • Example 2 – Customer B’s account is opened on 1st May, 2026, funded with AED 1,000,000 by 15th Aug, 2026 (Funding Date) and a Balance of at least AED 1,000,000 is maintained in their account(s) until 13th Nov, 2026 (i.e. Retention Period - 90 days from 15th Aug, 2026). Customer B would NOT qualify for a Funding Reward since they didn’t fund the account(s) within 90 days from account opening date.
    • Example 3 - Customer C’s account is opened on 1st May, 2026, funded with AED 1,000,000 by 15th June, 2026 (Funding Date). On 20th June, 2026, the Balance in the account(s) fell to AED 800,000 and remained so until 30th June 2026. On 1st July, 2026, the Balance was increased to AED 1,000,000 and this Balance was maintained until 13th Oct, 2026 (i.e. Retention Period - 90 days from 15th July, 2026). Customer C would NOT qualify for a Funding Reward since they didn’t maintain the Balances for 90 consecutive days i.e. the Retention Period.
    • Example 4 - Customer D’s account is opened on 1st May, 2026, funded with AED 4,000,000 by 15th June, 2026 (Funding Date). On 20th June, 2026, the Balance in the account(s) fell to AED 1,000,000 and remained so until 30th June 2026. On 1st July, 2026, the Balance was increased to AED 4,000,000 and this Balance was maintained until 13th Oct, 2026 (i.e. Retention Period - 90 days from 15th July, 2026). Customer D would qualify for a Funding Reward as per the AED 1,000,000 qualifying tier.
  1. Exclusions: Funds transferred from another Citi UAE account (even family/friends’ accounts) would not qualify towards the new funding requirement.
  2. Funding Volatility: (1) The Reward will be based on the qualifying funding level continuously maintained during the Retention Period. All funding increases that could lead to a higher reward must be deposited within 90 days of your account opening date. (2) If the Balance drops below the minimum requirement for a specific reward tier at any point during the Retention Period, your eligibility for that reward may be adjusted to a lower tier or forfeited entirely.
    Some examples of Funding Volatility referred to clause 13 above:
    • Example 1 – Customer A funded their account with AED 1,000,000, 10 days after account opening. On day 60 from the account opening date, Customer A increases their funding to AED 2,200,000. If the Customer continuously maintains a Balance of at least AED 2,000,000 until day 150 from the account opening date (which is 90 days after reaching AED 2,000,000), they will receive the Funding Reward as per AED 2,000,000 funding qualifying tier.
    • Example 2 – Customer B funded their account with AED 2,000,000, 30 days after the account opening date. However, 100 days after the account opening date, their Balance drops to AED 1,000,000. In this case, they will receive the Funding Reward for AED 1,000,000 funding tier as per the table.
    • Example 3 – Customer C funded their account with AED 2,2000,000, 30 days after the account opening date. However, 100 days after the account opening date, their balance drops to AED 800,000. In this case, they will not receive any Funding Reward, as their Balance fell below the qualifying minimum of AED 1,000,000 during the Retention Period.
    • Example 4 – Customer D funded their account with AED 1,000,000, 10 days after account opening. 100 days after the account opening date, Customer D deposited an additional AED 3,000,000, bringing their Balance to AED 4,000,000. Even if this AED 4,000,000 is maintained, this increase will not qualify for the Funding Reward for AED 4,000,000 because the funding increase occurred after the 90-days Funding Date.

How can you qualify for the Citigold Private Client welcome reward?

Opening an account isn’t enough meeting the Citigold requirement involves both funding and consistency. New clients must fund their Citigold Private Client account with at least USD 1,000,000 and maintain that amount for 90 consecutive days. The process ensures that only long-term, committed clients are rewarded.

Is there a fixed Citigold account minimum balance that applies to everyone?

Not quite. The Citigold account minimum balance depends on the type of account. For Citigold, it’s USD 200,000. For Citigold Private Client, it’s USD 1,000,000. These figures aren’t just one-time funding requirements—they must be maintained to unlock the relevant reward tiers.

When will the welcome reward be credited to the Citigold Private Client account?

Once the minimum funding and balance requirements are met and maintained for 90 consecutive days, the welcome reward will be credited within 30 working days. Additional reward components, if applicable, may be paid out within 15 working days after that.
