What Makes the Citibank Quick Cash Personal Loan Stand Out to Borrowers

Citibank's best rates are offered exclusively to new customers. Existing Citibank credit card or personal loan holders are charged higher interest rates for short-term loans, making it a less attractive option for these borrowers. While these rates are still competitive to offers from other banks, they are not always the best rates available.

            Other Charges and Fees

            The Citibank Personal Loan does not charge a processing fee, which helps keep the total cost of borrowing competitive. However, Citibank does charge a cancellation fee of S$100 or 3% of the outstanding unbilled principal amount, whichever is higher. This fee is quite similar to those charged by other banks.
