I used to work at Ambank before this.

Before I joined Ambank, I always get rejected when applied CC.

After joining Ambank, within 2 weeks I got CC with high credit limit. brows.gif

now I already resigned they still maintain my credit limit.

and yeah, ur option to apply cc is to apply a job at bank. laugh.gif

Hi guys, just sharing here that our credit card system here is Toxic. Should the banks refuse to process your application because they deem that you are unworthy then they will decline or cancel (the better option) your application.

Edit: How should one build credit if the banks cherry pick the rich and bully the poor? They don't even reveal how they would consider your application
      - No uniformed system
      - Slightly Different document requirements across different banks
      - The list goes on

The thing is, there's no options for redressing the issue. Public Bank forces an RM 25,000 FD to have a so-called "Secure Credit Card" but still subjected to approval.

Many other banks don't even offer that option.

I earn well above the required minimum annual salary of RM24,000 but my applications were cancelled. I wanted to start a petition but would anyone support?

What I suggest is that we need to have "Secured Credit Cards" with an FD Deposit of minimum of RM5,000

Gotten this Stupid Email from Public Bank

We would like to thank you for your application for a Public Bank card membership. However, we regret to advise that we are unable to consider your application.

We thank you for your interest shown and hope to be of service to you in future.

Hi guys,

Update: I've already gotten a card approved by Aeon Credit with a credit limit of RM 2,000, I was rejected back then but this time, I tried my luck and was approved. The puzzling thing is that I thought the credit limit is suppose to be twice your monthly salary. I call this a small successful step.

TS, you want to get high chance of having your application approved you need these criterias:

1) Have a long time (10 years +) personal account with the bank with good amount of money in it.
2) Have a FD account with the bank you're applying for the card (at least RM5k)
3) Your company payroll uses the bank you're applying for and they have a very good credit status with the bank(usually MNCs have no problem).

Any of these criteria will increase your likelihood of approving your application.

Once you have a credit card like now you got with AEON Credit, keep it for 1 year and maintain your spending, don't pay your bills late or get late payment charges.
Then you can try applying the larger and more popular banks.

In Malaysia, Maybank VISA cards are accepted the most widely in the country. Public Bank, CIMB, UOB and Ambank also. They are the most strict when approving cards.
Then there's OCBC, claim to be world's strongest bank in the world. They aren't quite interested in doing credit cards.

My personal preferences would be:

Maybank
Public Bank
Ambank
