What do you do if your CitiCard account is locked? You can contact customer service here for aid in unlocking the account, and you can find out more information below on what to do.

Why Your Account May Be Locked

The most common reason an account becomes locked is because of too many login attempts. If you've forgotten your password, you may inadvertently lock your account trying to log in. Also, sometimes accounts will become locked due to other suspicious activities. If it has become locked, there are ways to unlock your CitiCard account.

Unlocking Your Account Via Telephone

If you have found yourself locked out of your online account, you can contact customer service here and tell the representative your account is locked. Provide the representative with Error Code RSK002, and the representative will help you unlock your account.

Unlocking Your Account Online

Another method of unlocking your CitiCard account is through the company website. To unlock your account, follow these steps:

  1. Open the CitiCard website.
  2. Choose the account associated with your User ID and Password. The options to choose from are below:
  • Bank and/or Credit Card (you will need to enter your ATM or credit card number).
  • Mortgage Only customers (you will need to enter your email address).
  • SBA Paycheck Protection Program Customers
  • Certificate of Deposit Only Customers
  • Click "Continue."
  • You will then be asked to enter other identifying information such as date of birth or address to verify identity.
  • CitiCard will send you a reset email to reset your password. Once you've reset your password, you can log into your account.
  • In Person

    If you live or work near a CitiCard branch location, you can go to your local branch office for aid in unlocking your account. You will have to show a government-issued photo ID and supply your account number to the branch representative to unlock your CitiCard account.
