Dual Currency Investment

Important Information

Dual Currency Investment is classified as other derivative instrument, which in its economic structure is a combination of a time deposit providing interest rate on the investment amount and an FX option incorporating the risk of conversion into alternative currency.

Dual-Currency Investments are available only to Citibank Personal Account holders. The product is not available to U.S. citizens. Depending on the difference between the exchange rate and the current purchase rate of the Base Currency on the Investment Maturity Day, the return on investment delivered in the Base Currency may be lower or none. If the Exchange Rate differs from the current purchase rate of the Base Currency, the amount received in the Base Currency may be lower than the amount originally invested.

The above examples of dual currency transactions are only shown to help better understand how the investment product works and they are not an offer or solicitation of an offer in the meaning of Article 66 of the Civil Code.

The nominal value of the Dual Currency Investment is covered by the statutory fund guarantee system Under the Bank Guarantee Fund Act of December 14, 1994 (Journal of Laws of 2009, No. 84, item 711, as amended).

The guarantee amount is the PLN equivalent of EUR 100 000 at the average rate of the National Bank of Poland as of the date on which the conditions of the guarantee are met. The above amount sets the maximum amount of claims of a deposit holder against the BFG, irrespective of the amount and a number of accounts used to maintain the funds or the amount of receivables from this specific bank.
