For centuries, Gold has been recognised as a global currency and an object of beauty. Today, Gold has the potential to help you grow your wealth.
1. Store of Value: Gold has held its value over the long term very well
2. Hedge against Inflation: Gold has remained largely stable in terms of retaining its purchasing power. In contrast, the real value of most currencies has generally declined
3. Investment Diversification: Gold has low correlation with major asset classes
4. Protection from economic turmoil: Gold has continued to perform well in times of economic turmoil

As a Citibank customer, you get to enjoy 2 innovative gold investments:
Citibank Gold Account
Citibank Dual Currency Account (Gold)
   
Both innovations provide you the benefits of a gold investment without the hassles and costs of physical possession. That’s not all. You are also entitled to invest via multiple currencies.
 
 
Select 2 reference instruments from the array of currencies (AUD/EUR/USD) or gold, one used as a base and the other as the alternative. Upon maturity, you will receive your principal and interest amount in either your base or alternative reference instrument at the pre-determined conversion price of the investment.

Scenario 2:
 
  Fixing Date
  Gold declines to 1,405
  Payout
  Principal + interest amount will be converted at Strike Price and repaid in gold
  Principal + Interest
  Gold 71.12oz (AUD100,986.30/1,420)
  Principal + Interest
(If converted immediately to base currency)

  AUD99,923.60 (71.12oz x 1,405)
This is less than the initial amount invested
