What RateCity says
Citibank variable personal loans can be used for new or used car purchases. A variable interest rate on your car loan is adjusted from month to month by the lender, so consider whether these rates could increase in the future as this will affect your budget. Citibank loans have minimal fees compared to other loans, allowing borrowers the opportunity to save and pay off their loan. There are no early exit penalties or annual fees involved and Citibank loans also allow borrowers to make additional payments, withdraw additional repayments when desired. Citibank loans do have upfront fees but this is common across personal loans.
Citibank personal loans are unsecured, meaning they are riskier for the lender as no security item is provided by the borrower.

However, they do offer unsecured loans that still have a lower than average interest rates, making them a competitive choice against other lender products.
