Citi Prepaid used to be a branch of Citibank and all of its affiliated trademarks. However, a while back, Citibank sold its prepaid card services and businesses to Wirecard. In turn, Wirecard is a company which mitigates, observes, and manages transactions to and between customers and merchants. They claim to make everything transparent and as secure as possible for everyone. In the meantime, trademarks of Citibank and the Arc design are in temporary use by Wirecard North America. That being said, these moves and business choices don’t influence the smooth operational tasks of the average user, as you will find out in the following Citi Prepaid login guide.
