The CitiGold account specifically list Waived foreign exchange fee (if you use the debit card). Pity the FX isn't waived for a linked credit card. ;-)
Open your
Citigold interest checking account with a $500 minimum deposit8. There's no monthly service fee for the first two statement cycles. After that, we'll continue to waive the monthly fee if the combined average balance of your eligible linked accounts is:
* $100,000 or more across all your linked Citi accounts
OR
* $250,000 or more if your Citibank first mortgage is included in the total relationship.
Otherwise, a $25 monthly service fee will apply. *
