How you can make the most of your Citi Lending account

What is a line of credit?

A credit facility that allows you access to funds within your available credit limit, as needed. A line of credit can be helpful for large purchases and expenses or an unexpected event, as it means you can access your available funds sooner without needing to reapply.

Benefits of your line of credit

Having an accessible line of credit means that once you have an available balance you can draw down on your account as you need, without needing to reapply for credit.

Using your line of credit

Your line of credit is suitable for such items as, buying a car, home renovations, a milestone celebration, unexpected expenses such as a vet bill or school fees, or general cash flow management to allow you to budget better as expenses may go up and down each month.

Instalment plans on your Citi Lending account

Once you've made a purchase on your account or if you require cash for a future purchase, you may wish to convert it into an instalment plan. Whether it’s a second hand car or if you've recently booked a holiday on your Citi Lending account, you can pay them off with an instalment plan.

 

What is an instalment plan?

Instalment plans are a flexible repayment option that lets you pay off a portion of your balance at a lower rate than your standard variable Annual Percentage Rate(APR) applicable to your account. With an instalment plan, you can request cash, convert purchases/cash advances or a portion of your statement balance, within your available credit into regular monthly repayments. Instalment plans are set up with a fixed rate and paid down over a set term.

How do instalment plans get paid down on my Citi Lending account?

When you have an instalment plan, your payments to your Citi Lending account will generally first be applied to any initial interest charge, monthly instalment, FPO fee and related interest.

This means that the monthly instalment that is due is paid before your other balance types even if they have a higher rate of interest (e.g. balance transfers, retail purchases or cash advances).

When you take up an instalment plan it helps you repay the amount borrowed within a fixed term that you choose, at a lower rate than the standard variable APR applicable to your account. Your instalment loan will appear on your monthly statement with the Fixed Payment Option Summary section under your transactions list.

For more information, please refer to Application of Payments in the Unsecured Credit Terms and Conditions and Other Important Information.

Instalment plans are set up with a fixed interest rate for the term of the instalment plan. The interest rate will vary depending on your eligibility. To find out if you are eligible for an instalment plan please see ‘How can I take up an instalment plan’ section below.
