When you’re looking at transferring money using a medium that’s safe and quick, look no further than the NEFT and RTGS facilities offered by Citibank. The NEFT or National Electronic Fund Transfer is an online money transfer system initiated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to facilitate a speedier and secure means of moving funds from one bank account to another within the country. This service dispatches funds electronically from one bank branch to another as long as they are part of the NEFT network. To ensure that the funds are going to the correct bank branch, the RBI issues an IFSC Code to every branch that has this service. Through this code, the RBI can not only regulate the transactions made, but also establish the source and destination banks in a particular transaction.
An IFSC Code is made up of 11 characters and it is an alphanumeric string that is unique to a bank branch. The first four letters of the code denote the bank name. The fifth character is zero, which is generally left blank for future use. This leaves the last six characters, which denote the bank branch. So for example, the Citibank branch in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi’s IFSC Code is CITI0000030. Here, the first four characters “CITI” denote Citibank. The fifth character is 0. The remaining six characters “000030” denote the specific Citibank bank branch located in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi.
Finding a particular bank branch’s IFSC Code is very simple process. The bank prints the IFSC Code on the cheque leaves issued from the branch in question. The bank’s website also has the codes for respective bank branches. Another way you can look for the codes is by visiting sites like BankBazaar, where you will have easy access to the IFSC codes of all banks. You just have to visit the homepage and click on “Bank IFSC” at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to a page where you have to type in the name of the bank. Once you type it in, you will be asked to furnish information like the bank branch, state and district. On providing this information, you will be presented with the IFSC and MICR code for the particular branch.
Making online fund transfers is a very simple process with the NEFT and RTGS facilities. These are both secure gateways to transfer funds in a quick and hassle-free manner. The information given below will help you utilise these services so you can send money worry-free.
NEFT:
Citibank provides its customers with the NEFT facility, through which they can conduct wireless money transfers by means of a quick and secure medium.

RTGS:
RTGS is a facility that can be used to transfer money from one bank account to another using the quickest method of fund transfer in the country. RTGS transactions take place in real time, meaning that the transfers take place as soon as the payee’s bank clears the transaction. This makes RTGS transactions final and irrevocable which means once the request has been made, it cannot be cancelled.
RTGS services have a minimum amount of Rs. 2 lakh per transaction.
Citibank offers its customers RTGS facility, with those requests made by 3:30 pm from Monday to Friday cleared and processed on the same day. Transfer requests made by 12:30 pm on Saturdays except for second and fourth Saturdays would be processed on the same day. In case of transaction requests made after these hours on both weekdays and weekends, the transactions would be processed on the next business day.

For CPC and Citigold customers, RTGS transactions can be made up to Rs. 50 lakhs per day. Citibanking customers can make transactions amounting to Rs. 15 lakhs in one day.
RTGS services can be availed through Citibank bank branches or through Citi Online.
Citibank is a global banking conglomerate with its headquarters in New York. Established in 1812, it was known as the City Bank of New York and played a leading role in developing financial systems in America. It has a presence in every continent with over 4,600 branches worldwide and provides its customers with top of the line banking services from insurance, loans and credit cards. It was among the first banks to adopt automated teller machines in America in order to provide its customers with round the clock access to their money, living up to their slogan “Citi never sleeps”.
Specially designed by Diebold, a notable self-service technology supplier, Citibank’s latest ATM model Irving drifts from conformist designs by jettisoning the requirement for PIN pads, card readers and even monitors. Instead, the device will use near field communication (NFC) equipment to recognize clienteles using their mobile phones, in which communications will be based on the account holder’s individual phone screens. A supplementary application will make use of an eye scanning procedure to verify the user’s credentials. This is by using an iris ID software offered by Eyelock, prior to prompting the end user with choices. This is a cool step to ensure that ATM usage are easier than ever as well as absolutely safe from thieves who are experts in intercepting the sensitive card info and using them to their advantage. Quite a personalized way of transactions but this wouldn’t help with IFSC Code based electronic money transfer.
