Citi Ready Credit FAQs

What is a line of credit?

A line of credit is a credit facility with a predetermined limit which you can draw down upon as required. A line of credit can be helpful for suitable expenses, as it allows access to funds as and when required, without needing to reapply. Citi Ready Credit does not incur annual or monthly fees, repayments are made monthly based on the amount of credit you’ve used. Citi Ready Credit comes with a one-off reduced establishment fee of $99, normally $199.²
What might a line of credit be suitable for?
Citi Ready Credit is very flexible and can be used for a range of purposes to suit your lifestyle, for example:

Buying a Car

Home renovations

A milestone celebration

Unexpected expenses such as a vet bill

Citi Ready Credit is not suitable for debt consolidation, investment purposes or living expenses.
What is a balance transfer and how could it help me to save on interest?
A balance transfer is when you move an outstanding amount you owe, called a balance, from a credit card or a personal loan over to another account

The new account you move the balance over to should have no or a low interest rate for an introductory period

If you pay off the balance in full before the introductory period expires then this can result in you paying less in interest and save you money

Citi Ready Credit is an alternative to a personal loan or a credit card with a balance transfer offer. and has a low introductory rate of 8.9% p.a. for 5 years on the initial balance that you request to be transferred within 3 months of approval¹
How do I make my repayments?
Once you’re a customer, part of keeping your account in good standing (for example – your account is not in default, suspended or closed) is ensuring your repayments are made on time, each month. Your Minimum Payment Due Date can be found on your statement, along with any overdue and overlimit amounts. You can make your repayments in a number of different ways as follows:

Easi-Pay

Australia Post

BPAY

How can I make a balance transfer work for me?

1. Make sure you know how long the low or no interest rate period is and ensure you pay off the balance in time – Citi Ready Credit currently offers a 5 year balance transfer period
2. Make sure the credit limit you’re approved for on your new balance transfer is high enough to cover your existing balance being transferred over
3. Plan out your monthly repayments to ensure you can afford to pay off the balance on time
4. It’s a good idea to limit your ongoing purchases and cash advances on your old credit cards, and Citi Ready Credit, to what you can afford to repay. If your balance transfer was to pay off old credit card debt you should cancel or reduce the credit limit of that card
Am I ok to apply if I’m already a customer?

If you already have another Citi branded unsecured credit product you must hold this account in good standing (for example – your account is not in default, suspended or closed) for 6 months before applying for another lending product such as a Citi Ready Credit.
What documents do I need for a loan application?
Here's a quick checklist of the documents you'll need to apply:

Address proof

Income proof

Proof of employment
