Bank Negara sets new rules for credit cards
Minimum annual income requirement raised to RM24,000
KUALA LUMPUR: The minimum annual income requirement for credit card eligibility has been raised to RM24,000 from RM18,000, effective immediately, in a move to keep household debt at manageable levels, Bank Negara announced Friday.
For cardholders earning RM36,000 per annum and less, they can only hold credit cards from a maximum of two issuers.
The maximum credit limit for those earning less than RM36,000 has also been capped to double the monthly income of the cardholder.
The central bank said while credit card debt remained at a manageable level, these measures were being taken to promote sound financial and debt management.
"It's a pre-emptive move to ensure that the prudent level of household debt remains at that level moving forward," Bank Negara's deputy governor Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus told reporters.

"Money saving coupons are for everyone, some consumers feel that most grocery coupons mainly apply to unhealthy snack food items and in general may throw out savings circulars. This is untrue as there are many coupons offered by name brand companies, which apply to organic groceries and earth friendly products."
Internet coupons do allow companies the opportunity to attract new customers, offer new products, build new brands, closeout older merchandise, and build stronger relationships with customers. The most successful coupon programs offer specific benefits that all customers seek; excellent value, assistance in making informed decisions, and improved ease of shopping.
Some coupon websites at first glance may appear to carry similar coupons but these sites openly offer major and local companies the opportunity to submit their coupons to their ongoing coupon database. It is always best to visit several coupon sites and download multiple coupons to optimize your savings. Our free toolbars offer you the opportunity to instantly visit several free coupon sites at once to download coupons for maximum savings.
