Medium or long term facilities are a perfect solution to finance your capital investment, acquisition of fixed assets, equipment or complex projects for periods longer than one year.

Citi Romania will structure a facility that best fits your needs, while ensuring that the repayment schedule matches the cash flow generated by your investment or the inflows of your company.

Citi Romania offers you two types of facilities responding to your company’s objectives regarding the financing of operational needs:

  • Short term loans
  • Overdraft facilities

Short Term Loans

The purpose of the short term loan is to finance working capital.

Typically used for situations where the outflows and inflows of funds are accurately predictable in time, short term loans can be contracted for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

Fixed income investment possibilities

Overdraft facilities are designed to cover temporary funding needs that cannot always be predicted. The product has a very flexible structure, so that you can draw funds against your current account at any time and up to a specified limit.

Citi is the leader in international bond issues. Our bank’s world-class origination and structuring capabilities provide issues with flexible structures and innovative financing solutions both on the domestic and on the international markets.
