Item 5. Other Events.

        The information provided below is provided in respect of Citibank Credit
Card Master Trust I. Certain capitalized terms used herein are used as defined
in the Glossary of Terms at the end of this Report.

Loss and Delinquency Experience

        The following tables set forth the loss and delinquency experience with
respect to payments by cardholders for each of the periods shown for the
Accounts. With respect to the Loss Experience table below, loss experience is
shown on a cash basis for Principal Receivables. If accrued Finance Charge
Receivables which have been written off were included in losses in the following
table, Net Losses would be higher as an absolute number and as a percentage of
the average of Principal and Finance Charge Receivables outstanding during the
periods indicated. There can be no assurance that the loss and delinquency
experience for the Receivables in the future will be similar to the historical
experience set forth below with respect to the Accounts.

Revenue Experience

       The revenues for the Accounts from finance charges, fees paid by
cardholders and interchange for each year of the three-year period ended
December 31, 1997 are set forth in the following table.

       The revenue experience in the following table is presented on a cash
basis before deduction for charge-offs. Revenues from finance charges, fees and
interchange will be affected by numerous factors, including the periodic finance
charge on the Receivables, the amount of any annual membership fee, other fees
paid by cardholders, the percentage of cardholders who pay off their balances in
full each month and do not incur periodic finance charges on purchases, the
percentage of Accounts bearing finance charges at promotional rates and changes
in the level of delinquencies on the Receivables.

                                                Year Ended December 31,

Finance Charges and Fees Paid.......  $6,189,383     $5,732,865      $4,545,420
Average Revenue Yield (1)...........      18.46%         18.36%          18.11%

(1)     Average Revenue Yield is the result of dividing Finance Charges and Fees
        Paid by Average Principal Receivables Outstanding during the periods
        indicated.

        The revenues related to periodic finance charges and fees (other than
annual fees) depend in part upon the collective preference of cardholders to use
their credit cards as revolving debt instruments for purchases and cash advances
and to pay off account balances over several months as opposed to convenience
use (where the cardholders prefer instead to pay off their entire balance each
month, thereby avoiding periodic finance charges on purchases) and upon other
services of which the cardholder chooses to avail himself and which are paid for
by the use of the card. Fees for these other services will be treated for
purposes of the Pooling Agreement and the Series Supplement as Principal
Receivables rather than Finance Charge Receivables; however, the Banks will be
permitted to specify that any such fees will be treated as Finance Charge
Receivables. Revenues related to periodic finance charges and fees also depend
on the types of charges and fees assessed on the Accounts. Accordingly, revenues
will be affected by future changes in the types of charges and fees assessed on
the Accounts and in the types of Additional Accounts added from time to time.
Revenues could be adversely affected by future changes in fees and charges
assessed by CBSD and other factors.

        CBSD has previously reduced the finance charges and reduced or
eliminated the annual fees applicable to, and modified some other terms of,
certain of the Accounts. These changes have reduced the gross yield of the
Accounts.

Cardholder Monthly Payment Rates for the Accounts

        Monthly payment rates on the Receivables may vary because, among other
things, cardholders may fail to make a required payment, may only make payments
as low as the minimum required payment or may make payments as high as the
entire outstanding balance. Monthly payment rates on the Receivables may also
vary due to seasonal purchasing and payment habits of cardholders. The following
table sets forth the highest and lowest cardholder monthly payment rates for the
Accounts during any month in the periods shown and the average of the cardholder
monthly payment rates for all months during the periods shown, in each case
calculated as a percentage of the total beginning account balances for such
month. Monthly payment rates reflected in the table include amounts which would
be deemed payments of Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables with
respect to the Accounts. In addition, the amount of outstanding Receivables and
the rates of payments, delinquencies, charge-offs and new borrowings on the
Accounts depend on a variety of factors including seasonal variations, the
availability of other sources of credit, general economic conditions, tax laws,
consumer spending and borrowing patterns and the terms of the Accounts (which
are subject to change by CBSD).

The Receivables

        The Receivables in the Accounts as of January 3, 1998 included
$525,245,794 of Finance Charge Receivables and $35,285,751,179 of Principal
Receivables (which amounts include overdue Finance Charge Receivables and
overdue Principal Receivables). As of January 3, 1998, there were 28,139,554
Accounts.


                                        6
<PAGE>

Included within the Accounts are inactive Accounts that have no balance. The
Accounts had an average Principal Receivable balance of $1,254 and an average
credit limit of $5,151. The average total Receivable balance in the Accounts as
a percentage of the average credit limit with respect to the Accounts was 25%.
Approximately 92% of the Accounts were opened prior to December 1995.
Approximately 13.18%, 10.95%, 6.65% and 5.67% of the Accounts related to
cardholders having billing addresses in California, New York, Texas and Florida,
respectively. Not more than 5% of the Accounts related to cardholders having
billing addresses in any other single state.

         The periodic finance charge assessed on balances in most accounts for
cash advances and purchases is currently the Prime Rate (as published in The
Wall Street Journal) plus a percentage ranging from 5.4% to 10.4% for accounts
in good standing, and the Prime Rate plus 12.9% for accounts which have been
recently, or currently are, delinquent. As of the most recent quarterly reset
date, the periodic finance charge ranged from 13.90% to 18.90% for most accounts
in good standing, and was 21.40% for most accounts which have been recently, or
currently are, delinquent. CBSD may change the periodic finance charge on
accounts at any time by written notice to the cardholders. Any announced
increase in such rate will become effective upon the earlier of subsequent use
of a card and the expiration of a 25-day period from the date such change was
made effective (assuming failure on the part of the cardholder to object to the
new rate). CBSD also offers promotional rates of limited duration to attract new
cardholders and to promote balance transfers from other credit card issuers and,
under certain circumstances, the periodic finance charge on a limited number of
accounts may be greater or less than those assessed by CBSD generally.

        The Accounts consist of Eligible Accounts. The Banks may (subject to
certain limitations and conditions), and, in certain circumstances, will be
obligated to, designate from time to time Additional Accounts and to convey to
the Trust all Receivables of such Additional Accounts, whether such Receivables
are then existing or thereafter created. The Banks have made Lump Sum Additions
to the Trust which, in the aggregate, included approximately $22.42 billion of
Principal Receivables.

        The following tables summarize the Accounts by various criteria as of
January 3, 1998. References to "Receivables Outstanding" in the following tables
include both Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables. Because the
composition of the Accounts will change in the future, these tables are not
necessarily indicative of the future composition of the Accounts.
