Citi Partners with MoneyBack on First-of-Its-Kind Points Conversion Program

Citi cardholders can now directly convert credit card points to MoneyBack points for shopping at over 600 retail outlets throughout Hong Kong

�

HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 15 January 2019 - Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) – Citi today announced a new API (application programming interface)
partnership with MoneyBack, the customer loyalty program operated by the
world’s largest health and beauty retailer A.S. Watson Group whose portfolio
includes the PARKnSHOP, Watsons and Fortress retail chains. By integrating the
Citi rewards redemption functionality into the MoneyBack platform, Citi
cardholders can conveniently convert their credit card points into MoneyBack
points on the MoneyBack website or mobile app. The MoneyBack points can
immediately be used at over 600 partner outlets, including PARKnSHOP, Fortress,
Watsons for cash discount, coupon and product redemptions. 

 

The launch of the API-enabled service with MoneyBack follows the series
of partnerships announced by Citi in 2018, which involve the use of the bank’s proprietary
APIs in various categories covering Cards, Customers, Money Movement, and
Onboarding. In Hong Kong, Citi has so far published 37 APIs through the Citi
Developer Portal for external partners to build innovative solutions centered
on customers’ digital lives.

 

Lawrence Li, Head of Cards and Unsecured Lending at Citibank Hong Kong,
said, “We are delighted to be partnering with a forward-thinking global retail
leader that shares the same commitment to investing in innovation and
delivering the best customer experience. Enabling customers to conveniently
access our products and services in the digital ecosystems where they are
active will continue to be our priority in 2019. We will achieve this by
building partnerships with like-minded companies and fully leveraging the power
of APIs.”

 

The launch of the Citi Developer Portal and adopting an open API
architecture are part of Citi’s overall strategy to digitize its credit card
business as consumer habits and preferences evolve.  At Citi Hong Kong, currently one in three new
credit cards and over 60% of personal loans come from online applications, and over
80% of reward redemptions are performed through digital channels.
