Citi® Identity Theft Solutions1
Also known as identity fraud, identity theft happens when someone uses another person's personal information to commit theft. This information may be as simple as a name, address and date of birth, or as detailed as a Social Security number, or a mother's maiden name. Identity thieves use this information to open credit card accounts, obtain loans, drain bank accounts and more.

This rapidly growing crime affects more and more people every day. That's why we created Citi® Identity Theft Solutions to help you resolve the matter and get your life back on track.

With this service for Citi cardmembers, you never have to give out your real credit card number online. View the Virtual Account Numbers animation to learn more.

With one click, you can generate a random credit card number and make it virtually impossible for anyone to steal your account number while shopping online. Then, you enter this number into the merchant's form and complete your purchase without revealing your real card number. View cards with this feature.

It's safe and easy. Register or sign on for Account Online to get Virtual Account Numbers.

Note: Virtual Account Numbers cannot be used for purchases that require you to show your credit card at time of pick-up (e.g., movie tickets, etc.), because the account numbers will not match.



Citi® Photocard2
