Formerly part of the international Citigroup, Citi's consumer business was purchased by NAB in June 2022. They offer a personal line of credit and a personal loan of up to $55,000. Their line of credit works in a similar way to a balance transfer credit card - where a standard rate applies after a low rate introductory period. An establishment fee will apply, but there is no annual fee.

- 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 on your purchases, cash advances and initial balances transferred for a year. The standard rate of 8.90% p.a. applies after this period.
- Citi Personal Loan Plus. You can still apply for up to $55,000, 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 $2,000 and $55,000. 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 8.90% p.a. Enjoy the flexibility of the redraw facility offered with a Citi personal loan and get cash whenever it's available without having to go through the same application process.

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.
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for your question.
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.
I hope this will be of use.
Thanks,
Elizabeth
I have applied for 4 years Personal Loan at 8.99% pa, how long does it generally takes for approval and what are conditions for approval ?
Hi Ash,
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.
Cheers

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.

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
