Mozo snapshot

If you want a home loan with minimal fuss, the Citi Basic Variable Home Loan could be the right option for you. Not only does it come with a competitively low variable rate of 2.71% p.a. (2.76% comparison rate*), you’ll also have the flexibility to choose a weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayment schedule as well as make additional payments and redraws without penalty.

Better yet, the Basic Variable home loan was named a double 2020 Mozo Experts Choice Award winner for Best Investor Home Loan and Best Split Home Loan.

Key features

The Citi Basic Variable Home Loan is flexible and can be tailored to suit you. There are options for owner occupiers and investors alike, whether they want to make principal and interest or interest only repayments. Interest rates start at 2.71% for owner occupiers making principal and interest repayments, and 3.04% (3.09% comparison rate*) for investors. Plus, customers can borrow from $350,000 to $4,000,000. 

After features? With this loan you can make free extra repayments and use a redraw facility if you wish to dip into them later on. And that’s not all, you also have the freedom to choose between making weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments. 

While there is no annual or monthly service fee attached to the Citi Basic Variable Home Loan, just keep in mind you will be stung with a $399 application fee straight off the bat.

Who is it good for

snapshot
Any catches

Be aware that there are some hefty fees attached to this loan. Aside from the $399 application fee there’s also a $250 settlement fee and $350 discharge fee to factor into your budget.

  • Overall 6/10
    Rate cuts passed on but can be slow to process.

    Citi offer good 24/7 online and phone service, they do pass on interest rate cuts and take security off your accounts very seriously. However there are little to no branches and processing time for paperwork can be slower than other banks.
