Citibank Singapore has announced that the bank’s customers now have the capability to use their ATM or debit cards for the payment of bills and other services at AXS Stations through AXS Direct Pay.

By the end of 2009, Citibank customers will be able to use their Citibank ATM or debit cards for transactions at any AXS Station. At present, there are 576 AXS Stations in Singapore. There is no need for a new PIN code to be issued as transactions will utilise customers’ current ATM PINs.

Robin Chua, head of deposits at Citibank Singapore, said: With AXS Direct Pay, we have further raised the transaction banking capabilities that we offer our customers, allowing them greater access to different channels by which they can bank with us. This is part of Citibank’s continuous drive to offer our customers convenience and is consistent with our mission to expand our distribution network by having a presence where people live, work and play.

Joey Chang, CEO of AXS, added: AXS Direct Pay is an open platform on the AXS Station which allows direct connectivity to banks or financial institutions to provide their customers with the convenience of making payments. With this new payment environment, customers will be able to experience the convenience that comes with faster transaction speed and shorter waiting time.
