We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
Ready Credit. This credit product is a debit card and a line of credit rolled into one. You'll get access to a total credit limit that you can then access through a balance transfer or cheque-to-self option. The loan can be used to pay for your travel or even buy new furniture. You can then pay off what you owe at your own pace because there is no fixed repayment term. You'll get an introductory rate of 3.99% p.a. on your purchases, cash advances and initial balances transferred for a year. The standard rate of 20.49% p.a. applies after this period.
Citi Personal Loan Plus. You can still apply for up to $40,000, but rather than a line of credit, the Personal Loan Plus is structured like a standard personal loan. You'll receive the funds and pay it back over a period of up to 5 years.
Ready Credit - Fixed Payment Option. While this option is no longer available, it offered a fixed payment option for the same competitive rate.
Features and benefits of a Citi personal loan
Competitive interest rate. Citi’s competitive interest rates make paying off of school fees, medical bills, insurance premiums and the like easier on your wallet. Keep in mind the fixed rate applies for a fixed term, after which a variable rate applies. Click through to the review pages for more information on the ready Credit.
Borrow based on your needs. The Citi Personal Loan Plus offers borrowing amounts between $5,000 and $40,000. While the Citi Ready Credit offers credit limits between $5,000 and $75,000.
Low minimum amount. Borrow as little as $5,000 if you only need to pay off small purchases.
No fixed repayments terms. With the Ready Credit, you can pay when it suits your budget and make additional repayments weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Keep in mind that minimum monthly repayments apply.
Redraw facility. Since Citi products have a revolving credit line, you have the freedom to redraw as often as you want at the standard variable rate, currently 20.49% p.a. Enjoy the flexibility of the redraw facility offered with a Citibank personal loan and get cash whenever it’s available without having to go through the same application process.
Easy fund access. You can easily access your funds how you want. You can request a cheque or you have the option of getting a visa debit card to use for store and online purchases or withdrawal from ATMs.
Value-added benefits. Enjoy exclusive privileges from Citi, including dining and travel rewards with your Visa card.
What other products does Citi offer?
Everyday accounts. Breeze through day-to-day banking transactions while withdrawing money or receiving salary payments with your Citi Plus account. You can also take advantage of a Cash Investment Account and consolidate your cash into a single interest-earning account.
Savings accounts. Save with Citi’s Online Saver, Ultimate Saver, Ultimate Business Saver and Term Deposit accounts.
Credit cards. Citi offers a range of rewards and platinum cards, including the Emirates Platinum Card with an introductory offer. Aside from competitive interest rates, cardholders also enjoy benefits and privileges from partner establishments that are recognised worldwide.
Home loans. Citi also offers home loans including the Low Variable and Fixed Home Loan.

We have unconditionally exchange contracts to sell our house but on an extended settlement of 6 months.We want to exchange on our next future home but need $150,000 to do this (and to achieve promise of simultaneous settlements, which is under negotiation right now).Our existing (but “sold”) house has plenty of equity but one bank has told us that, since contracts are already exchanged we are no longer the legal owners for the purposes of getting a bridging loan or deposit bond.We understand that the loan has risks attached (if our buyer refuses to settle by the due date or goes bankrupt), but need to know if there are any higher-risk lenders out there who can loan us $150,000 quickly for 6 months, but not as a Deposit Bond (requirements of contract for house we want to buy). Thanks.
An option you may want to consider is a short-term fixed rate home loan, although the minimum term offered by many lenders is one year, which may be too long. I recommend getting in touch with a licensed mortgage broker. A broker can help you understand your financial position and they can leverage their panel of networks to find a lender that’s more inclined to review your application.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
Thanks for your comment and background. Most banks do not give out their exact criteria for approval. If you’d like to discuss your application with Citibank it might be best to give them a call directly.

Hi
I received conditional approval email and a request to upload documents. Couple of days latter, I logged in to upload the document. At that time, the status of my application was displayed as ‘Rejected’. Am not sure why it was rejected, before I upload the document.
Is there anything wrong? Please advise. Do I get notified, if my application rejected?
I have uploaded the document, anyway. Any detail or clarification is much appreciated.
I wish to apply for a Citibank Personal Loan at from 8.99% but I have tried for several days to click “”apply” but each time screen goes blank. How do I apply?
However I think I have already credit limit account but have not used it for years. Does it still exist?
Have you been using your work computer? There could be internet settings in place that are blocking you from applying.
Please try again at home and let us know if the problem still occurs. You’ll also need to contact the customer service team at Citibank regarding your account. If you’ve never officially closed it, it may still be open.
Re; Customer Service Team
The response to my question, Ï think I may still have a ready credit account and limit but have not used same for several years – was, “May be still open if you have not officially closed same, contact Customer Service Team”
Please advise me!!!!!!
Reason I was asking,was if I still had a Ready Credit account (I think it had a limit of $20,000). With a name like mine it should be simple to find out one way or the other.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.

When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity.

Hi Kavitha,
Please speak to the customer service team at Citibank regarding this – there could have been a mistake with your application.
There may have been a date that you were required to submit the documents by but it’s good to confirm this with Citibank anyway.
Cheers,
Shirley
My husband applied personal loan , he got conditional approval and also upload some bank statement .if I will get loan or not
Hi Raj,
You’re required to upload your bank statement as proof of income.
After the documents have been verified and are correct, then usually you are officially approved for the loan.
Cheers,
Shirley
