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.

Take note requirement of 24k is AFTER deduction of epf/commitments/etc. Not your gross salary.

Also a petition for what? Credit Card is not basic human rights or anything?

If you don't work for a bank or directly for any banking/ credit industry then don't simply make statements, no where in the requirements does it say net salary

Banks are very flexible on this. In any case it is certainly NOT after deducting epf/commitments/etc.

TS should check whether he has any record in CTOS or CCRIS or is there any outstanding loan he defaulted? Nobody should think that they can default with one bank and apply to another bank. The banks all share a database of borrowers and defaulters.

You can check in the thread, I've posted my clean CCRIS screenshot. Don't know how to go about it anymore, can only think to go to BSN and place an RM 5,000 FD for a card

how to petition for something that already exist la

i did that 5k fd pledge credit card thing from maybank while i was a uni student (w/o guarantor), have been using the same card since 2014 and recently uplifted the fd since got enough for the cc to be backed by pay slips

so its either BNM regulations became more strict until apply cc is as difficult as making loan or face problem la

What I hope/want for a change is that we could follow the U.S system by implementing a secured credit card system, Public Bank forces RM25,000 FD to pledge for a card.

Nonsense! The barrier to entry is to high, Citibank is another bank that has a "Clear" FD Pledge clause stated in their T&C but no other banks have clear cut T&Cs.

Cause in the U.S, you can even have a $200 credit limit for a secured card

Dude.. there are so many banks with credit cards out there. Why do you aim the top banks who receive thousands of applicants everyday?..

Can you imagine they can pick and choose who they want to give their CC to.. ofcourse they will reject those applicants who arent up to their standards.

Even if you meet the minimum requirements.. there is somebody like myself who has 10 years of good credit history.. all kinds of loans, fully paid off and giving the banks business in the form of paying loan interest worth more than 20k rm ever year..

Who are you? You are nobody to them.. likewise, im a nobody and that's why I didnt even bother applying for pbb card until they gave me a home loan with a credit card attached with it.. plus they gave me one of the lowest credit limit I've received in a long time..

You are not wrong in aiming to build credit history as soon as you enter the workforce.. it is the first path towards building your networth .

Why not start with the lesser banks or even shopping credit cards.. like aeon cards. Any card is better than no card. Im pretty sure you will be able to get a card eventually.. provided you start from a low tier credit card.

Then go from there.. everytime you meet the requirements, wait 3 months to build payslips then submit to the banks..

It is good to have a fd placement too.

Best of luck. Whatever it is, credit isnt a right.. it is a privilege. Dont take it forgranted.

Just an update for the readers of my thread, I truly that you all for your inputs as for now, like Liamness suggested, I'll try for Bank Simpanan Nasional (already submitted) if it still fails then I'll go for Bank Islam. I hope as these banks are easier than so called top tier banks.

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.
