HSBC will require your basic salary to be RM1,500/month. Even though if you got RM10,000 of allowance per month, they also would not care.

Huh ? Your annual gross salary is less than RM18,000 ? Then you are not qualified for HSBC classic credit card either. In fact, if your annual gross salary is less than RM18,000, then you are not qualified for any credit card in Malaysia.

The other way to get a credit card is to pledge by Time Deposit (Fixed Deposit - FD). Among the banks that offer this are :
- Public Bank (RM10,000 of TD will get RM10,000 of CL)
- AmBank  (RM10,000 of TD will get RM10,000 of CL)
- HSBC (RM10,000 of TD will get only RM8,000 of CL)

I think you can also try with RM5000 with local banks.

Is there agreement need to be signed if credit card is applied though this method? It would not stop me from closing my TD after 1 month.

Yes. There is a letter and agreement you need to sign. The agreement is printed on a thick green paper.
You can only withdraw your TD a month after you cancelled your credit card.

I have just ask HSBC and they stated that the agreement wil need to be done with a lawyer with cost being beared by the applicant. Too much trouble for a card...

@outsiders_86,
Everyone has different experiences with the banks.  Personally, my quickest was HSBC; having applied for the card on Thursday and receiving the card in my mailbox the following Tuesday/Wednesday.

I hope it is just a postlaju card.

i'm interested to apply cimb islamic petronas since i pump petronas fuel regularly. Should i cancel my cimb islamic MC or just keep it.

Keep it and your approval will be faster as they will just share the same credit limit between the two cards.

Cancel after 3 months if not that the cc agents will fail their target as well. They are trying to make a living after all.
