Why Maybank rejected my Credit Card application?
I have good credit record. No outstanding in my current credit card. And also their housing loan customer.
Anyone know why?

The easiest way is to call them =.= But as far as i know, Maybank cc application is strict compare to others.

It seems ridiculous as I have met all their requirements.

ur yearly income meet minimum requirement or not? usually... that is the only reason app being rejected...

My yearly income is more than what they need (their requirement is RM24k). Salary every month being credited to MBB savings sumore.

I have been using Maybank credit card for quite a long time too. Until recently get really mad at their service.

I want to get Maybank CC because I want to pay it via Maybank2u, currently need to travel to UOB every month to deposit cash and pay online. Feel so troublesome.

why not just called them up? maybe they mistakenly rejected ur application since u said u fulfilled all their requirements.

Talk face to face is always good one.

How many CC's do u have currently?

How much is your applied loan, and still how much need to pay back?

actually u can pay ur UOB via maybank2u also..but rm 2 wil be charge from ur maybank acc...
but if u drive to UOB also more than rm 2 petrol right?

call and tell them that you can place a FD pledgement as the security if they still don't approve you.

u shud be asking maybank. not us. how the ??? we know why. if they reject u they must have a reason. threatenen them to leave them while you're talking to their rep might do the trick

BTW, theirs min income is RM2500 per month or RM30000 per year. The min income also must be basis salary not include other (commission, overtime, allowance).

So if u are fulfill the requirement I think u better call them.

Other better method is go to your maybank branch that you open your maybank saving account then ask them to pre-approve your application. They will ask reason and why, just tell your reason.

Lot easy because 90% will approve even your min income is low than requirement because they will go thru your saving account to analysis your spending behavior hehe (read: If thru online application or other branch, they cannot pre-approve as they cannot authorize to analysis your saving account)

TS:
MayBank CC not needed for online payment.
CC from HSBC or Citibank also allow online paymeny and they're much easier to apply.

FYI, maybank CC very easier to apply and get approved...last time i tried apply citibank twice, HSBC as my 1st CC but failed even my salary is over RM1,500....but when i go to apply maybank CC, i get it within 3 weeks since it is preapproved as my salary went into maybank saving acc...Finally, get my visa wave...

you can try for second time n c or better check with Bank Negara whether u have clean record or not..cos u mayb have some other loan unpaid like study loan, or any bss loan..

HSBC is kiasu bank, their CC is not easy to get. My friend 2.5k basic also cannot get....

CIMB is the easiest to get among them

m*yb*nk kept calling me at least once for every few months for a around 1 year until i fed up then i will take 1 cc. get this cc as a backup for my direct access. thinking to complain as their staffs keep kacau-ing me but since they want give, then i take it as backup.

yes, also play the tricks when apply or talk to their staff. threat them to terminate if they want to charge you the annual fee or whatever charges, that what my ex-senior colleagues did when the staff want to charge them annual fee. also redeem those gifts.

Dood, their database is linked lah. anyone from any branch can access the info with appopriate access.

HSBC with RM1,500 salary?
How would their sales person even entertain u in the 1st place?

For me HSBC is the most picky and action bank, their sales person only look for those rich potential ppl to sign up.
If u are not wearing branded or look rich, bet they wont approach u to apply card

@ckwhy,
MBB's credit department might have flagged U as high credit risk. As they aren't able to tell how many other CCs U have out there in the market and the exact CL on each of them, when they do a tabulation and see you have too much outstanding loans and high-risk credit, they will automatically reject your CC application or CL increase.

Its less than RM2 petrol, its on my way home, just that its troublesome to stop at UOB atm every month

apply other bank lor...i personally dun like maybank..they are abit lansi...

Yup their database is linked but CC Department and Other branch cannot access the applicant saving account and give pre-approve for your CC application (read: pre-approve for your home branch is important).


True story because I myself am a Student with part time job, apply a Maybank CC thru online application. Then CC Customer Service called me said they need min salary of RM2500 per month (basis) not RM1500 anymore just increase it early this year.
Said to them that they can checked my saving account is heavily transaction (>100k per month) and my commission is around rm2000 per month (dont ask what job ) .
They said like this can get pre-approve from my home branch to approve lot easy that way.
Even they know my account transaction also they cannot pre-approve my application only home branch can do it.
Now, I got my CC to do online purchase for international market

Last time, my basic only 1.1k + 900 allowance + comm, get around 3k+, worked for 3-4months.
approved for petronas card, maybe cos salary is credited into maybank saving ac and i have fd there.

And look where are there now ... same thing can be said to Singaporeans


I couldn't agree more. They are also very selective in choosing customers but they have been improving in recent years, not as picky anymore.

hmm your commission not that much le considering >100k turnover monthly...you doing online betting issit..

I have the same problem. Applied for 3 times already and all rejected.

My salary last time was 1.5k got increment now already 2.2k.
Credit record clean (CCRIS,CTOS, kris, atos, u name it... )


Whereas Citibank, HSBC, DirectAccess, EON, UOB, MBF, Standard Chartered, Public Bank, RHB and CIMB all give me card.
The highest is 12k, the lowest is 8k.

Can you imagine how sombong Maybank is.

Since then I never deposit my paycheck through Maybank anymore, and register all my bills to Direct Debit (no more Maybank2u paybills anymore RM0.50 charge u know!).

I curse Maybank and all their sombong employees!!!

@firadaboss,
Perhaps it's because U oredi have so many CCs and the available CL combined puts you as high credit risk - hence MBB rejected your application. For someone earning RM2.2k, U oredi have a minimum CL of 20k - that's quite a bit, don't U think?

Well, the reason I have so many cards is because I need to play Transfer-The-Balance game.
Or else my debt's interest will snowballing like mount Kinabalu oledi!

And the reason I want Maybank kredit kad also because their Bal Transfer plan right now is very attractive!

U might be rite, tinkerbell. However, I still curse them for not giving me a chance at all! If they afraid, just give me 3k credit limit also enough.

@firadaboss,
I hope you know what you're doing and that you aren't trying to cover 10 holes with 9 covers or Ur gonna get burnt.

If U really want the MBB CC, just keep applying

@tinkerbell

What's done is done. Right now I'm doing exactly that to survive.
Hoping some day my adsense will burst, or my boss suddenly give me big bonus...

Personally I prefer HSBC to remain selective in their choice of customers. The HSBC salesgirls that I dealt will are leng lui, well-dressed, speaks good English, well-trained and polite ... traits that are absent from many Malaysian sales people these days.

Wow ... 12K and you earn only 2.2k ? That's very high ... My mom is a government servant and she earns way more than you but her first credit card's credit line was no where near the 12K mark.


I personally feel the CL is way too high So i think it makes sense why Maybank is reluctant to issue you more credit card.


This could well be the reason why your application is rejected. It's probably because you still have many outstanding ...


HSBC can afford to do so simply because they are the only true global bank in the world and their financial position is still relatively healthy compared to other giant banking groups. Citibank is their closest rival for the term "true global" bank but they are not quite there yet. Besides, we all know how they are doing now ...
