Citi Bank Setup

Enable transaction alerts so Daily Benji can track your spending

Using the Citi Website:

  1. Log in to your account at www.citi.com with your username and password.
  2. Navigate to "Profile & Settings" (typically found near your name in the upper right corner of the page).
  3. Click either "Enroll in Alerts" or "Manage Alerts".
  4. Enter your preferred email address(es) for alerts in the designated fields (you can usually add up to two email addresses).
  5. Choose to "Enroll all cards" or select specific cards individually for alerts.
  6. Under the alert types, select "Credit Card Transaction Alert (real-time)" for your credit cards or "Debit Transaction Alert (real-time)" for your debit cards.
  7. Ensure that EMAIL is clearly selected as the delivery method (and not just SMS).
  8. Accept the Terms and Conditions.
  9. Click "Continue", then "Save & Done" to finalize your settings.
  10. Repeat for all cards: If you have multiple Citi cards, you must repeat these steps for each one to ensure all transactions are captured.

Alternative Navigation Path (if the above doesn't work):

  1. After logging in, go to the Services menu (located in the top navigation bar).
  2. Select My Profile.
  3. Click Citi Alerts or Citi Alerting Service.
  4. Choose "Enroll in / Manage Alerts".
  5. Follow steps 4-11 from the "Standard Navigation Path" above.

Important: Email is Required

For Daily Benji to work, you must select Email as the delivery method for your transaction alerts.

Next: Set Up Email Forwarding

Once you've enabled Citi alerts, you'll need to forward them to your Daily Benji inbox.
