KUALA LUMPUR: The usage of debit cards has increased by a whopping average of 63% every year from the period between 2007 and 2009, revealed Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin.

He said the number of debit cards in circulation totalled 33.8mil up to the end of September this year.

"However, the amount spent via debit cards is smaller than credit cards. RM3.2bil was spent through debit cards while expenditure through credit cards was about RM57bil," he said to a supplementary question by Azan Ismail (PKR-Indera Mahkota) at the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday.

Earlier, Dr Awang Adek debunked the perception that most of those who were bankrupt due to credit card usage were youths.

"There are no credit cardholders aged 25 and below recorded to be bankrupt based on statistics by credit card companies from 2007 to 2009," he said in his reply to Datuk Siringan Gubat (BN-Ranau).

He added that an average of only two people went bankrupt every year due to credit card debts for those aged between 26 and 30.

"More than half of those who went bankrupt due to credit card debt for the three-year period are individuals aged over 45," Dr Awang Adek said.

He added that 0.01% or 405 out of 3.2mil principal credit cardholders went bankrupt because of credit card debt last year.

"From January to September this year, the number of individuals who went bankrupt remained at the same rate of 0.01% out of the total principal cardholders.

“In that period, some 449 people went bankrupt out of the 3.2mil principal cardholders," he said.

Dr Awang Adek said some 31% of credit card usage was settled immediately whereby the debts were paid off without being charged interest.

He added that Bank Negara Malaysia was always monitoring and ensuring that the level of credit card usage was under control by introducing a guideline which offers protection and education to users on proper usage.

On the RM50 tax imposed on each principal credit card, Dr Awang Adek said the number of credit cards had declined from 10.8mil cards at the end of 2009 to the current 8.7mil, following the implementation of the charge.

"This was expected as credit card users returned some of their cards and used the remaining ones more efficiently and without any excess," he said.

Dr Awang Adek also admitted that he shared a similar experience with Azan, who said two credit cards were sent to him by credit card companies even though he did not use or apply for them, and the companies had sent him a bill asking him to pay the RM50 tax.

"I also experienced something similar but I returned the cards and told the companies that I was not interested," he said, adding that Azan could also do the same so that no charge would be imposed.
