Your monthly repayment begins on the first day of the month following the date you have made full disbursement of your personal loan.
You must commit to repaying your personal loan every month until the total outstanding amount of the loan is fully repaid.
If you have extra cash in hand and want to clear your loan, partially or fully, before it is due, you can make an early settlement.
However, you should do so after the lock-in period of 2 years as you will be charged with RM200 or 3% of the outstanding balance (whichever is greater) as a penalty.
What if I'm servicing multiple personal loans and credit cards with other banks?
It can be overwhelming managing repayments for multiple personal loans and credit cards account you have with various banks.
Not to mention, the different interest rates charged meant different repayment amounts for multiple banks to remember!
Great news! There is an option for you to simplify repayment of up to 5 credit cards and / or personal loan accounts you currently have into ONE debt consolidation account.
It is an unsecured loan with a fixed rate that can help you to refinance your current personal loan or credit card debts from other banks.
What are the benefits of Citibank Debt Consolidation:
- Simplify cash flow management from only one debt consolidation account
- Competitive interest rate of 6.40% - 7.20% per annum
- High borrowing amount up to RM150,000 or 10x your gross monthly income
- Loan repayment tenure option of 24, 36, 48 and 60 months
- Easy application process with minimal documentations required - only latest redemption statement or closure quotation from the other banks
- Cash out option, which will be disbursed to your current or savings account for extra cash in hand
How would repayment work for debt consolidation?
If you did not opt for cash out, the full approved amount which are granted to you for consolidation purposes will be disbursed directly to the respective banks via GIRO transfer.
An example of how debt consolidation works:
| Total Consolidated Loan Amount | Tenure | Interest Rate | Monthly Repayment | Total Repayment to Citibank |
| RM50,000 | 60 months | 6.40% (Effective rate: 11.90%) | RM1,109.70 | RM66,581.84 |
So instead of making repayments to up to 5 different accounts or banks, you will only need to do so for one debt consolidation account ie. Citibank.
