    Has anybody experienced this issue accessing their on-line account at Citi Bank?

    As of yesterday trying to login using FireFox a new window pops up containing HTML & Java code !!!!

    (Before that both FireFox & IE worked fine)

    In addition the “new & improved†page does not show the security lock on the lower right corner of the browser.

    I just logged into www.citicards.com and entered my username and password and got right to my account. I am using Firefox 1.5.09

    Now I'm going nuts.

    Went to the Citi site 3 times and the 2nd time got the same HTML, JAVA stuf, the other two no problem.

    (Also using FF 1.5.09 and the Bank support says that they do not support FF, only IE; go figure)

    I had the window of code popup also. I just figured that the survey window popup that appeared when I first launched the site was the culprit. Had no problem getting into the site though. The window of code actually popped up behind other windows so I didn't notice it until I was done.

    At least I'm not the only one;

    Now my issue is that ANY other bank has the “startup” page as an httpS://..........
    (which was also the case with CITI before they launched the new & improved site)
    This, by definition, establishes an overall secure connection to the server, not so with the new http://.... format.

    I have to admit that I’m a bit paranoid when it comes to security and I might be over alarmed by this.

    The one reason for not cancelling the card is that Citi is the only bank offering Virtual account numbers for on-line shopping.

    Edited:

    Using this link, can bypass the non-secure startup URL:

    This thread is four years old. This new post doesn't add value, but touching the thread makes it visible again. Please don't do this.

    This has been a practice Citibank alert, ignore the chubby man behind the curtains, and the 29.9% interest rate! :eek:
