How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases

Your due date is at least 23 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you interest on purchases if you pay your monthly Citi Flex Plan Payment Amount plus your entire balance, excluding any Citi Flex Plan balances, by the due date each month. If you do not pay your monthly Citi Flex Plan Payment plus your entire balance, excluding any Citi Flex Plan balances, by the due date each month, you will pay interest on your purchases from the date they're posted to your account. We will begin charging interest on cash advances, balance transfers, and Citi Flex Loans on the transaction date. We will begin charging interest on a Citi Flex Pay balance subject to an APR at the start of the billing cycle following the billing cycle during which you created the Citi Flex Pay.

Minimum Interest Charge

If you are charged interest, the charge will be no less than 50 cents.
Plan Fee (Fixed Finance Charge)

A monthly fee of up to 1.72% of each Transaction moved to a Citi Flex Plan subject to such fee based on the Citi Flex Plan duration, the APR that would otherwise apply to the Transaction, and other factors.

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "daily balance (including current transactions)."

For more information call Citibank, N.A. at 1-877-625-6382 (For TTY: We accept 711 or other Relay Service). New York residents may contact the New York State Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-3736 or www.dfs.ny.gov for free information on comparative credit card rates, fees and grace periods.

Payment Allocation: We may apply the portion of your payments up to your Minimum Payment Due to lower APR balances first, including transferred balances. Generally, any amount paid above the Minimum Payment Due will be applied to your highest APR balances first.

Prime Rate: The variable rates shown here are accurate based on a 7.5% Prime Rate.
a We add 10.74% to 21.49% to the Prime Rate to determine the Purchase/Balance Transfer/Citi Flex Plan APR.
b We add 21.99% to the Prime Rate to determine the Cash Advances APR.

Variable APRs are calculated based on the Prime Rate plus the additional amount shown above. However, these APRs will not exceed 29.99%. This means if a calculated APR exceeds 29.99%, then that APR will be 29.99%. If the calculated APR is equal to or below 29.99%, then that APR will be that calculated amount.

Note: Balance Transfers and Flex Plans are made available at our discretion.
