Local Demand Deposit Accounts

What is it?

Local demand deposit accounts are locally held current accounts. They are available in both local currency and foreign currency denominations.

How does it work?


You are able to deposit to and draw cheques on your locally held account. Deposits can take the form of cash, cheques or wire transfers.

Cheques drawn on your locally held U.S. dollar accounts are treated as collection items if presented outside of Jamaica.

At the end of each month you will receive an account statement detailing your transactions for the month. We also offer flexible statement cycles, i.e. weekly, bi-weekly etc.

All deposits at Citibank®, N.A. Jamaica are insured by the Jamaica Deposit Insurance Corporation (JDIC) up to an aggregate amount of J$300,000 or foreign exchange equivalent. This is in accordance with the rules and regulation established by the JDIC unless otherwise specified. JDIC does not protect against foreign currency losses.
