Why does Citi use email
encryption?
Protecting the privacy and security of employee, client, and business
partner information has always been a top priority at Citi.
In keeping with this ongoing commitment, Citi now encrypts
external email (both text and attachments) that contains
confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information,
including personally identifiable information (e.g., social
security numbers and credit card numbers). This enables us
to protect this type of information and minimize the risk of
potential unauthorized viewing or malicious intervention.
How will Citi's use of encryption
technology impact email recipients?
Secure email recipients should not experience any interruptions in
communications with Citi due to the use of encryption
technology, and no special software or downloads will be
required to receive secure email. You will be asked to
complete a one-time registration process.
Instructions on how to register and/or retrieve an encrypted message will be included in any secure email you receive from Citi.
The default delivery option for Citi Secure Email is Web-based via the Citi Secure Webmail Center. If you currently use S/MIME or PGP and wish to receive secure email via one of these encryption methods, please contact the Citi Secure Email Help Desk at (866) 535-2504 (inside the U.S.) or +001 (904) 954-6181 and ask to be set up as a PGP or S/MIME user. Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
