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 for the
Accounts with respect to cardholder payments for each of the periods shown. For
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 that 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. Neither the Banks
nor the Trust can provide any assurance that the loss and delinquency experience
for the Receivables in the future will be similar to the historical experience
set forth below.

- ---------------
(1) Losses consist of write-offs of Principal Receivables.

(2) Average Principal Receivables Outstanding is the average of Principal
    Receivables outstanding during the periods indicated.

(3) Net losses as a percentage of gross charge-offs for the first nine months of
    1999 were 89.88% and for each of the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
    1996 were 91.56%, 92.49% and 92.46%, respectively. Gross charge-offs are
    charge-offs before recoveries and do not include the amount of any
    reductions in Average Principal Receivables Outstanding due to fraud,
    returned goods, customer disputes or certain other miscellaneous write-offs.

(4) The percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 is an annualized
    number.

REVENUE EXPERIENCE

         The revenues for the Accounts from finance charges, fees paid by
cardholders and interchange for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and for
each year of the three-year period ended December 31, 1998 are set forth in the
following table.

         The revenue experience in this 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)...      17.49%       18.66%      18.46%      18.36%

- -----------------------

(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, 1999 is an
         annualized number.


         The revenues from 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 cardholders pay off their entire balance each month, thereby avoiding
periodic finance charges on their purchases)--and upon other card-related
services for which the cardholder pays a fee. 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
may specify that they will treat these fees as Finance Charge Receivables.
Revenues from 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. These
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

         Monthly payment rates on the Receivables may vary because, among other
things, a cardholder may fail to make a required payment, may only make the
minimum required payment or may pay 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 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 CBSD may change).

                Cardholder Monthly Payment Rates for the Accounts

THE RECEIVABLES

         The Receivables in the Accounts as of September 25, 1999 included
$637,287,573 of Finance Charge Receivables and $44,602,817,522 of Principal
Receivables (which amounts include overdue Finance Charge Receivables and
overdue Principal Receivables). As of September 25, 1999, there were 36,241,660
Accounts. Included within the Accounts are inactive Accounts that have no
balance. The Accounts had an average Principal Receivable balance of $1,231 and
an average credit limit of $5,590.


                                       6


<PAGE>

The average total Receivable balance in the Accounts as a percentage of the
average credit limit with respect to the Accounts was 22%. Approximately 84% of
the Accounts were opened prior to September 1997. Of the Accounts, approximately
13.56% related to cardholders with billing addresses in California, 10.75% in
New York, 6.62% in Texas and 5.71% in Florida. 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 13.65% to 21.15%. CBSD may change the periodic finance
charge on accounts at any time by written notice to the cardholders. Any
increase in such finance charge 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, 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 $34.99 billion of Principal Receivables.

         The following tables summarize the Accounts by various criteria as of
September 25, 1999. References to "Receivables Outstanding" in these 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.
