Hey guys,

I just talked to HSBC and Citibank CC advisors. Both also told me that the service tax will only be imposed for those who applied/activate their CCs after Jan 1, 2010. Those CC users before 2010 will not be imposed of such charges. Also, if this service tax were to be implemented, BNM will have to give at least 12mths transition period prior to executing the act, thus on 2011 only.

I have a strong feeling this is true as both banks are sharing similar info. But yet to be convinced as nothing is published to public yet.

Those terminating their CCs might just wanna wait a little while longer though.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)
Credit Bureau

The application could only be made once in 3 months from the last date of request.

it's good to review your own credit report every year:
- to review your credibility
- the reason why bank reject your application
- trace any loan/credit card which is not apply by yourself

Here is the link to download the form

Bro ... banks will say anything to prevent further loss of cc customers. Both share a common interest but like you said, better wait and see for the confirmed news rather than listen to heresay. What is confirmed is that government expect to generate RM500 million from this tax and they want to use their money next year.

Omg , I still got 4 card with me and I cannot afford to cut it

For Citibank, cc cancellation can be done via a phone call.


That's so funny and it makes me laugh! Those people are not liable to compensate you if you are charged the service tax immediately on 1/1/10 or on the card anniversary date next year. Btw, there are lots of cc sales agents and CS officers but there are no "cc advisors".

Too bad lor wrong timing lor you. I still remember back in May or june you consulted so many sifu how to easily get approve but now you regretted wanna cancel

Oh ok I will call them instead of going there tomorrow. At least can keep the nice card

my friend working at citibank didnt inform me bout this also
like hye said, bank will say anything to prevent the lost of their customer unless they give out notice via website or newspaper

if not

Potong saja

Already faxed in my cancellation letter for my Direct Access....will call them up today to confirm.

has anyone tried this?
i might give it a try soon

btw, did any1 have complied all the service tax charges annoucement on every bank?
