Innovation at Work

Increase program efficiency, control and convenience with a Citi alternative card product, and the enhanced features in a new Landing Page release.

Stored Value/Declining Balance Cards

Stored value cards are an excellent replacement for cash, checks and EFT, and are ideal for specific purposes or time periods. Accounts are established with a set credit limit and can be reloaded. Agencies can specify MCC inclusions and authorize the cardholder to spend only an approved amount over the pre-determined life of the card.

Citi offers declining balance as well as enhanced stored value cards. Agencies can choose either solution based on need and intended use:

  • If the cardholder has an unrestricted right to spend the full amount on the card, a stored value card may be the best solution
  • If the cardholder must account for what is spent on the card-which may differ from the initial amount that was established-then a declining balance card may be the best solution
Applications and Uses:
  • Entitlements
  • Grants
  • Restricted spending card
  • One-time use or low frequency refresh
    • Restricted travelers or temporary duty
  • Uniform allowances
  • Relocation payments

New Landing Page release:

Links tab is renamed "Links/Help" and allows document posting Using the renamed Links/Help tab, you can create a link where documentation (such as the User Guide and/or QRG) is hosted by Citi. This can be segmented


Payment name changed to "Pay from Checking Account"
To help cardholders not enter their Citi Commercial Card account number as a payment from account, the verbiage "Payment Account Number" will be replaced by "Pay from Checking Account."

Lost/Stolen statement history is viewable by cardholder
Lost/Stolen statements will now be supported in Card Statements and Payments (CSP). Cardholders will need to create a new ID or activate their card to an existing ID (by clicking activate new card under account info in CSP).The cardholder will then need to choose which card they wish to view in the dropdown. Lost/Stolen statements will be viewable up to the month the card was lost or stolen (or prior month if in midcycle). The new card will have transactions and statements to view going forward. This implementation would handle prior Lost/Stolen cards up to the point that the Landing Page initially received the Delta DEF for that company.
