Citi Allows Card Activation Through Taking A Photo Via Mobile App

Citi have been steadily adding features to their mobile application, the most recent addition is the ability to activate a new card by taking a photo of it from within the app.

I didn’t think activating cards was that difficult before, but this definitely streamlines the process (if you already have the app). Citi confuses me, they have some of the worst technology out of any financial institution/card issuer, yet they seem to be leading the way when it comes to mobile app features. For example:

What are your thoughts on this new feature? If you could request any new app feature from Citi, what would it be? Personally mine would be the ability for their checking account bonuses to post automatically without any manual intervention needed, a boy can dream I guess.

“Citi have been steadily adding features to their mobile application”

Yet they still make me log in with the debit card number for a checking account I no longer have 😛
