Citi Personal Loan has one of the lowest interest rates in the Philippines. This means the cost of borrowing from Citibank is lower compared to most banks and personal loan providers in the country.
To fully understand how Citibank computes the Citi personal loan interest rate, you should be familiar with the bank’s three types of interest rates and their differences.
Citibank defines the annual contractual rate (ACR) as the interest charged on the personal loan based on a 360-day period. It computes the ACR per month consisting of 30 days. The interest is also calculated on the unpaid daily balance of your loan.
The average ACR for the Citi Personal Loan is 26.9%. Borrowers can check the ACR in the loan disclosure statement issued upon loan approval.
The monthly interest rate is a revolving interest of 1.29% that’s applied to any or all of the following:
This interest charge, which is compounded monthly, continues to be charged until the total amount due plus accrued interest is fully paid.
To avoid this personal loan fee, choose a monthly installment amount and loan term that will enable you to make timely repayments on your Citi personal loan.
The effective interest rate (EIR) is “the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the life of the loan to the net amount of loan proceeds,” as defined by the Philippine Accounting Standards.
Simply put, it’s the rate a borrower actually pays on a personal loan. The EIR includes the monthly interest charge, disbursement fee, and documentary stamp tax (DST).
The EIR computation depends on your loan amount and loan term, the exact amount of which is reflected in the disclosure statement along with the ACR. For example, if you borrow PHP 200,000 from Citibank and choose to pay it off in 36 months, your EIR will be 32.05%.
