Citi Ready Credit: apply for credit card online and access cash when you need it

Online credit card application guidance, eligibility, and key fees to review

Citi Ready Credit

Citi Ready Credit is presented as a credit card that enables cash loans within your approved credit limit, with the option to repay through an instalment schedule.

Once your credit limit is approved, you may be able to receive cash into a UAE bank account, and later book additional loans within available limit through Citi’s digital channels, subject to the bank’s process and terms.

About the bank Citibank

Citibank N.A. operates in the UAE as a branch of a foreign bank, and its UAE website provides access to information about accounts and financial services offered in the United Arab Emirates.

For product comparisons, the most reliable sources are the official Key Facts Statement, the bank’s published fees and charges schedule, and the applicable product terms—because offers and pricing can change.

How this card works

Citi Ready Credit is structured around booking a cash loan up to your available credit limit. The amount you request can be blocked from your credit limit, and each instalment payment can release a corresponding part of that blocked limit.

Instalments then appear in your card statement, and finance charges may apply depending on how you repay your statement balance.
