A personal loan for debt consolidation, sometimes referred to as a debt consolidation loan, may be helpful if you’re looking to combine multiple recurring payments into a single payment with a fixed repayment schedule. If the interest rate on your personal consolidation loan is lower than the average interest rate of your existing debt, consolidating may reduce how much interest you owe and potentially lower your monthly payments, too.

The lowest rate quoted assumes excellent credit, a loan term of 36 or 48 months, and includes a 0.5% APR discount for enrollment in automatic payments at the time of loan origination. Your APR will depend on a variety of factors including your creditworthiness, term of loan, and existing relationship with Citi. Citi offers personal loans with a period of repayment between 12 and 60-month terms. For example, if you borrow $10,000 for 36 months at 15.99% APR, to repay your loan you will have to make 36 monthly payments of approximately $351.52. If you are a Citi banking Relationship Tier customer at the time of application, you may be eligible for an APR discount. If multiple relationship-based discounts are available, whether based on a Citi banking Relationship Tier or a qualifying credit card relationship, only the highest discount will apply.
