The Citibank Saver Package gives you everything you need to reach your savings goals by bundling together a high interest Online Saver account, a fee-free credit card and a fee-free transaction account.

If only saving was as easy as skipping your weekly lolly spend and keeping your pocket money in a jar. Unfortunately, as we get older, our finances become increasingly difficult and our savings efforts get complicated. A lot of times when we fail to save our money it’s because we are trying to juggle multiple bank accounts or splitting our funds between too many cards. Thankfully, Citibank is here to help us save with the Citibank Saver Package.
