IMPORTANT: Annual income update (OCBC credit cardholders)
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.

What are the new credit card guidelines about?
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
-
How will this impact me?
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. -
