Citibank and 7-Eleven, Inc. Sign Agreement to Offer Free ATM Access to Citibank Customers in More Than 5,500 Stores.

NEW YORK -- 7-Eleven, Inc. and Citibank just made banking more convenient by teaming up to offer free ATM services to Citibank customers in 7-Eleven(R) stores across the United States. Through the partnership, Citibank will brand ATMs in more than 5,500 7-Eleven stores in 31 states across the nation, giving Citibank customers access to a much larger network of surcharge-free locations in which to do their banking. Along with picking up their morning paper and coffee, Citibank customers can now withdraw money and transfer funds between primary checking and savings accounts without a surcharge or foreign ATM fee at any Citibank-branded ATM at 7-Eleven stores.

In addition, 7-Eleven will soon be positioning itself to accept consumer bank deposits, beginning with Citibank. The goal is to offer customers easy-to-use, self-service options in convenient 7-Eleven locations.

"We realize our customers are busy and may not have a Citibank Financial Center nearby when they need to use an ATM," said Maura Markus, president of Citibank North America. "By partnering with 7-Eleven, we're increasing our ATM locations five-fold, this means greater accessibility and ease for our customers and 5,500 more locations for surcharge-free cash transactions. Banking with Citibank is now more convenient and can be done while you're picking up 7-Eleven favorites like coffee, newspapers and fresh-made sandwiches."

With surcharge-free Citibank-branded ATMs at 7-Eleven, Citibank customers can save money on transactions they're already making. Citibank customers average three non-Citibank ATM transactions a month, incurring an average surcharge of $2 per transaction from other banks. With the conversion of the ATMs at 7-Eleven to Citibank, that translates to a total savings of $67 a year - the equivalent of 62 Slurpee(R) drinks.

"Both 7-Eleven and Citibank are convenience-focused and attuned to the needs of the on-the-go consumer," said Rick Updyke, 7-Eleven vice president of Business Development. "Now Citibank's current and prospective customers can step into a 7-Eleven across the country, conduct their daily financial transactions and satisfy their convenience shopping needs, at a place that's already part of their daily routine."

7-Eleven and Citibank will support the ATM launch with a cash-giveaway promotion in New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Brand Ambassadors at select 7-Eleven stores in each market will ride "rolling Citibank branded ATMs" to distribute mock Citibank Banking Cards redeemable for instant prizes with values up to $500 cash.
