How it works

If your total interest-bearing outstanding balances1 on all credit cards and other unsecured credit facilities with banks and other credit card issuers in Singapore exceed the industry-wide borrowing limit2 for 3 consecutive months, you will generally not be able to:

  • charge new amounts to your existing credit card(s) and/or use other unsecured credit facilities with all financial institutions;
  • obtain credit limit increases on your existing credit card(s) and/or other unsecured credit facilities with all financial institutions;
  • obtain new credit cards or other unsecured credit facilities from all financial institutions.

Refer to Revised unsecured credit rules FAQ for more details

If your account is already suspended, please visit: Reinstatement of Suspended account to update your income and uplift the suspension.

1 These include amounts rolled over on credit cards and balances outstanding on unsecured loans that accrue interest. Such balances do not include amounts charged to credit cards that are fully repaid by their due dates, and amounts outstanding on interest-free instalment payment plans. If, however, interest is imposed on a particular instalment due to late payment, the instalment amount will be included.

2 The borrowing limit is 12 times of your monthly income.
