Citi Ready Credit is a flexible alternative to a personal loan. It’s a line of credit that you can access at any time, up to your credit limit, without reapplying. You won’t pay any monthly or annual fees. Only a $199 establishment fee applies.3 Plus, transfer a balance of $500 or more within 90 days from approval and get a $100 e-Voucher to spend at Woolworths, JB Hi-Fi or Myer.1

The best part – you only pay interest for the balance that you actually use. Once you repay the amount owing, you won’t pay any interest until you access your funds again. It’s money when you need it, and you won’t pay interest when you don’t.

Enjoy an introductory rate of 6.9% p.a. on initial balances transferred for the first 3 years. A standard variable rate of 20.49% p.a. applies to balances after 3 years, ongoing purchases and cash advances.2
