Key insights:

  • Citi® Flex Pay does not charge a prepayment penalty
  • You can pay off your plan early by paying your full account balance
  • Most Flex Pay Plans use fixed monthly payments with a set fee and no interest

Yes, you can pay off Citi® Flex Pay ahead of schedule without any penalty. If you choose to pay your account balance in full, any remaining Flex Pay balance will also be paid off at the same time.

Once your plan balance is paid off, your plan ends, even if you originally selected a longer repayment timeline.

How Citi® Flex Pay works

Citi® Flex Pay is available as a financing option for eligible Citi cardmembers. It allows you to split purchases of $75 or more into equal monthly payments over a defined period.

Here are the key details:

  • No separate application or credit check
  • A fixed payment amount will be added to your minimum payment due each month
  • No interest charges apply; a consistent plan fee is included instead

To get started, you can choose an eligible purchase in your account, select a repayment term and confirm the plan details.

What happens if you pay Citi® Flex Pay early?

If you decide to pay off your plan before the scheduled end date, keep in mind that paying your full account balance will satisfy the remaining Flex Pay amount. Your payment schedule stops once the balance is paid, and you won’t be charged any extra fees.

Do you need to make separate payments?

No separate payment is required. Your Flex Pay payment amount is included in your minimum payment due each billing cycle.
