SEOUL--(Korea Newswire)--Citibank Korea Inc. (CEO Yung-Ku Ha, www.citibank.co.kr) announces the launch of CitiBusiness “Easy Loan” to support the business growth of SMEs.

CitiBusiness “Easy Loan” is designed to help SMEs to manage stable finance within 2 years of maturity and to use the timely and efficient credit services in terms of credit limit and interest rate.

In addition, CKI avails the sufficient credit line of up to 75% LTV (up to 65% LTV for aggregated commercial building) in order to support SMEs facing financing difficulties amid the economic downturn. As the tenor of the existing corporate loans is 1 year, customers had to visit the branches and had concerns on the credit extension every year. To relieve such burden of the customers, the Bank now provides the customers with the option to select the maturity of the loan between 1 year and 2 years.

The self-employed and the SMEs with sales of KRW 10bn or less can utilize Easy Loan. The credit limit per company is KRW 500MM. CKI provides preferential interest rate to companies with social responsibility, woman entrepreneurs, taxpayers selected by the National Tax Service and key customers of CKI.

The Bank will continue the promotion for SME credit support until the end of March 2013 by providing the fixed annual rate of 3.96% at minimum to the facility loan with 2 years of tenor as of Feb. 25, 2013.

A manager of CKI says, “Easy Loan allows prompt decision making and financing due to its product structure differentiated from the existing corporate loans. With the fixed rate for 2 years, the customers can manage finance in a stable manner. In addition, due to the availment of sufficient credit line, SME customers are highly satisfied with the product. Easy Loan fits for the SMEs with new or additional financing needs. Please visit a nearby CKI branch and have a consultation on the product.”
