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 the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 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.

Average Revenue Yield (1)(2)..................... 18.77% 18.46% 18.36% 18.11%
</TABLE>
(1) Average Revenue Yield is the result of dividing Finance Charges and Fees
Paid by Average Principal Receivables Outstanding during the periods
indicated.
(2) The percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 is an
annualized number.
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.

<PAGE>
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 September 27, 1998 included
$621,952,993 of Finance Charge Receivables and $37,292,868,705 of Principal
Receivables (which amounts include overdue Finance Charge Receivables and
overdue Principal Receivables). As of September 27, 1998, there were 31,475,193
Accounts. Included within the Accounts are inactive Accounts that have no
balance. The Accounts had an average Principal Receivable balance of $1,185 and
an average credit limit of $5,468. The average total
6
<PAGE>
Receivable balance in the Accounts as a percentage of the average credit limit
with respect to the Accounts was 22%. Approximately 91% of the Accounts were
opened prior to September 1996. Approximately 13.23%, 10.92%, 6.68% and 5.66% 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 12.9%. As of the most
recent quarterly reset date, the periodic finance charge on balances in most
accounts ranged from 13.90% to 21.40%. 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 $28.38 billion of
Principal Receivables.
The following tables summarize the Accounts by various criteria as of
September 27, 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.
