Citi Elevates Digital Banking Experience in Hong Kong with Launch of 'eVouchers' on Citi Mobile® App
" This new initiative is designed to deliver timely, relevant value aligned with how clients increasingly manage their finances and spending digitally.
Citi continues to see strong momentum in digital adoption. Over 90% of active cardholders now interact through digital channels, and more than 96% of wealth management transactions are conducted digitally, reflecting the central role of digital platforms in clients' financial lives. The launch of "eVouchers" is particularly timely. Spending data reveals a growing consumer demand for convenient, rewarding and experience-led consumption. Insights from the Mastercard Economics Institute (MEI) highlight continued strength in travel, dining and lifestyle categories. This trend is mirrored in Citi's cardholder spending, which has seen a 34% year-on-year increase in travel and a 16% rise in shopping, indicating that customers are becoming more selective and intentional with their expenditures.
"We are strategically transforming the Citi Mobile® App into a dynamic hub that delivers both seamless convenience and highly personalized relevance, aligned with our customers' digital-first lifestyles," said Sarah O, Head of Digital Growth & Cards and Unsecured Lending Sales, Citibank Hong Kong. "By enabling instant voucher redemptions, we are making everyday spending more rewarding."
Early results are promising. Cardholders who engaged with "eVouchers" demonstrated significantly higher digital engagement and more than double the average spending compared to the broader portfolio, highlighting the feature's strong potential to drive deeper customer loyalty.
Sarah added, "'eVouchers' represents far more than a weekly promotion. It is a foundational element of our hyper-personalized digital ecosystem. Through strategic partnerships with a wide range of merchants, we are connecting customers with tailored offers that reflect their modern engagement and spending habits. This initiative strengthens daily client interactions through digital channels and supports local retail activity in Hong Kong."

Launched on June 5, "eVouchers" is a fully integrated, ongoing campaign within the Citi Mobile® App. The platform enables customers to easily browse, select, save and redeem "eVouchers" seamlessly for both online and in-store purchases.
