Is Citigroup discriminating against white people?
That’s the question at the heart of a racial discrimination lawsuit filed in federal court against the megabank by Florida customers who say they were charged out-of-network fees for transactions at Citi ATMs while customers of minority-owned banks were not. The plaintiffs are seeking class-action status.
Citi has “an express policy of charging customers different ATM fees based on race,” the two plaintiffs allege in the lawsuit. “Like most banks, Citi charges customers an out-of-network fee when they use Citi’sATMs to withdraw cash from a financial institution outside of Citi’s ATM network. But unlike otherbanks, Citi imposes this fee only when a customer withdraws money from a financial institution ownedby people of the wrong race.”
Citigroup said in an emailed statement that it is reviewing the complaint.
“Citi has no tolerance for discrimination in any form, and we take allegations to the contrary very seriously,” the company told USA TODAY.
