In April 2011, the revised credit card guidelines came into force. If you are a primary cardholder with an annual income of RM36,000 or less, you are subject to:

• Hold credit cards from a maximum of two issuers
• A maximum credit limit not exceeding two times your monthly income per issuer.

Hence, we advise you to update your annual income with us in order, to continue enjoying your current credit limit if during credit card application your annual income was RM36,000 or less.

The revised credit card guidelines issued in April 2011 state the following:

• To be a principal cardholder, a person should earn at least a minimum income of RM24,000 per annum
• Cardholder with annual income of RM36,000 or less is allowed to hold credit cards from maximum of two issuers only
• Cardholder with annual income of RM36,000 or less, is assigned a maximum credit limit of two times his monthly income per issuer

If you fall within the confinement of the guidelines, you can only hold credit cards from a maximum of two (2) issuers; where each issuer can only accord up to two (2) times your monthly income. In other words, you will need to reduce the number of cards and only enjoy credit limit of up to two (2) times your monthly income per issuer.

If you were contacted by us recently, it is most likely that your annual income on our record is RM36,000 or less; although that may not be the case. Therefore we would appreciate if you could submit your latest income documents to avoid any interruptions.

We will revise your credit limit in accordance to your income in our records. You will be notified in advance if there is any revision on your credit limit.

We will review and update your latest income accordingly. If your annual income is more than RM36,000 p.a., you will not be impacted by the revised credit card guidelines. You can continue to enjoy your OCBC Credit Card without any interruptions.

You will need to select your preferred 2 issuers and cancel credit cards from the remaining issuers. The bank will review your eligibility on your OCBC Credit Card anniversary date and advise you accordingly.
