Hi, just an asking. Will it be affect my scoring if u submit multiple application from CC?
*
let's put it this way, imaging that your income entitles you to maximum of 100k eligible total credit.

if you apply 1 card, the bank gives you 50K CL, that will take away 50K from your 100k.
apply second card, the bank gives you another 40k, you will be left with 10K.
apply third card, the bank may deem you as high risk in debt since your total committed amount is now 90k over 100K.

True, mean it always depend on your CL and see which bank approve first and taken the limit right?

one shot of multiple cards from different banks may also trigger alert to suspicion. Unless your income is really high and available credit is very high, too.

But if at the moment no CC, applying multiple CC and see which ones are successful makes sense. If not kena all, 1 is good enuff. And since there is lapse in reporting to ccris, banks would not know abt the multiple applications until later.
*
if there is no CC at the moment (1st card to begin with), applying multiple cards is even more suspicious, since there is no credit histories to refer to.

Card sifu, lets say my credit limit is rm5000 and I wanna swipe 1 item priced rm8000. Before I swipe I fews day before ibg 4k to my card account can that transaction go throught or will get decline? Will I get charge for excess credit limit fee ?

Thanks.

By pre-deposit 4K to the card, you will have 9K CL for your card.
Swiping 8K will be just fine without excess fee.

Hi guys!

New credit card user here. Started using credit card since last month (Feb).

So, I received my first credit card statement last month (Feb) totaling around RM300. I've paid the amount in full on early March. Today, I received March credit card statement and there is still the RM300 listed in the previous statement balance. Shouldn't it be 0 if I already paid it in full?

Going through the March statement transactions, I noticed there is RM300 credited in the card around early March. So, probably I've paid the RM300 to the card instead? How should I go and correct this? A bit confused here. rclxub.gif

Thanks.
*
The previous statement balance will always be there regardless whether you have paid it or not.

if you have paid, then the outstanding balance for this month will be deducted with the amount you have paid.
if you have not paid, then the outstanding balance for this month will be total of previous statement balance + interest and this month's balance.

I don't see any problem here.

Anyone have any ideas why banks reject my applications?

1st - CIMB, rejected when my income was 24k p.a (2 years ago).
2nd - Applied for PB Quantum, rejected when my current income is 40k p.a

I did missed a few payment on PTPTN loan. But I've already cleared all PTPTN loan more than a year ago. I'm debt free, no car loan, still CC-virgin.

What should I do? I'm totally lost.
*
Your history of missing PTPTN payment before may just be the reason why the banks don't trust you with their credit cards.

I'm still confused with this frankly - statement balance & outstanding balance

I've always settled my credit card outstanding balance before the due date, or on the date itself. But the statement balance has increased. And I've tried paying the statement balance, only to find it never getting to 0. Yes, I've read the other responses saying it'll never be 0.

Then how do I explain this to myself.. If I settle all outstanding balances, before the due date, why does my statement balance keep increasing?

And now, when I need to replace 1 of my cards, they're saying I've to settle outstanding plus statement balance? hmm.gif

Something doesn't feel right..

sounds like you have been paying to the wrong account.... hmm....

In other counties you tick a box on your application when you choose a credit limit.
Appreciate any further thoughts on this.

Well, here in Malaysia, your CL is assigned after all the assessments, not chosen by applicant.

Hi all,

I received 2 new credit card (visa & master card) yesterday which i did not apply from public bank. This happen after i sign the car loan 2 month ago. On that time i remember the officer didn't ask me to sign any credit card application form.

My question is how can bank employee signs me up for a credit card without my permission? Have anyone encounter this kind of issue before? Any advice?
*
Most likely it's the agent who 'tick' the box for credit card applications for you, so that they can earn commissions should you choose to keep them.

Are these Quantum credit cards? If yes, they are worth keeping.
There are people who wanted to get these but were rejected by the bank.

otherwise, feel free to call up the number at the back of the cards to request for cancellation.

Hmmm this is getting frustrating. Ive applied 3 times already for the maybank 2 cards, and all 3 were rejected. Im currently using ikwan petronas and ikwan. Ive reduced my CL prior to the 3rd application. But still got rejected.
Emailed to ask the reason but theyre really slow in responding.
CL at 10k, but BT of 7k atm. Is this the cause? My ccriss all 0
Would my high commitment be the reason? Currently 80% of reported income.
Need to wait another 6months. Geezz
*
Firstly, bank is under no obligation to disclose the rejection reason to applicants. So, you will never get an answer.

Secondly, having committed 80% of your income could be the reason why.

I wonder once SST is back, if this will also bring back the Government Service Tax for credit cards. RM 50 for each card just like previously, the only difference is I have added like 20 cards over the years. laugh.gif

During those time I only had M2Cards and OCBC Ti. If it really happens now, I'm basically doomed and have to let go many cards. laugh.gif

Exactly my sentiments, too. Was thinking about the same yesterday.

hi, i wanna ask a few questions :
I'm 20 this year, I'm thinking to apply a credit card when I'm 21.
1. currently I'm a student, so I was thinking is it possible to contribute EPF(assuming my monthly "salary" is 2.5k)  through my parents' sole proprietor/sdn bhd company as a WORKING STAFF until i'm 21 then apply the CC? the salary slip can be easily reproduced using the company letterhead. note that i cant apply supplementary card from my parents cos they had bad CCRIS record. so far i have 0 commitments

2. what are the documents required when applying my first credit card?
*
The other required documents could be,

- salary slips
- income tax documents

If I'm still in my first year of working meaning I still unable to declare my income tax, what's the chances that I'll get rejected due to not having the income tax documents? My savings account has high credit/debit transaction traffic so I guess that would be helpful?
*
there are many other factors to be considered when it comes to credit card approval. i.e. histories of debt repayment, EPF, etc.

You may try, but I feel that your chance is quite slim. Well, who knows.

Just a minor question about card security.

I have a SMCC credit card and it offered selfie embled as security measure. Need opinion about this. Is it more secure than signature?

well, it's only secure provided the cashier checks your card versus you photo on the card.
there is literally no enforced procedure to 'make' him/her to check your card photo at the moment.

That is the reason why with the introduction of PIN to replace signature.

Has anyone use the above cards? Can advise which is better option?

without knowing your purpose of using the cards for, it's not right to advise.
try to post your question at https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4161836/+2200#bottom for better advise, but do remember to follow the template.

Yes, it is possible - only if the real reason for the rejection is due to highly utilized eligible credit for your case.

QUOTE(terradrgn @ Jul 6 2018, 12:40 AM)
Asked a few banks earlier today since I was aligning the statement dates of my cards. According to them, credit limit is based solely on that individual bank.

So requesting a decrease of credit limit on Bank A's cards does not affect the chances of an increase in credit limit at Bank B's cards.

Only applying for additional Credit Card will the overall credit limit among all banks be counted.
hmm.. Did you hear differently from elsewhere? am I missing something?  sweat.gif
*
credit limit ties to a few factors, such as your card type, total income and total commitment amount according to your CCRIS scrore.

technically, what the banker said is correct. by reducing your unused credit limit, it reduces the total commitment amount, which gives you higher chance for credit limit increase, provided if your,
- total income increase significantly which bumps up your total eligible commitment amount
- past payment record is good

And of course, it also helps the raise the chances for new card approval.
