Best Credit Cards in Malaysia in 2023

LoanPanda compiled all the current promotions and special offers from the best credit card providers offering the most favourable savings on annual fee payments.

Best Categories of Credit Cards

LoanPanda has numerous categories that can meet the individual demands of every Malaysian. The following are some types of credit cards:

Credit card with sign-up offers

Whether this is your first credit card application or you’re just ready for a change, LoanPanda makes it worthwhile with generous weekly sign-up bonuses.

Is the first year on the house? Will it always be free? Are fees waived every year? Yes, they are all available on LoanPanda. Most Malaysians would rather choose a no-annual fee for their credit card, especially first-time cardholders who can focus on building up their credit score.

Cash back Credit Cards

This card is best for earning cash rewards on purchases every month. Credit cards that yield cash back on transactions are sometimes the most popular option for credit card users. In addition to being lucrative, these cards can also increase your savings. Consider getting a cashback credit card if you spend a lot on groceries, gas, and online purchases.

Rewards credit card

As the name of this type of credit card implies, you can earn valuable loyalty points from the first time you use it. Keep track of your qualifying purchases and rack up the rewards points with every purchase.

Fuel credit card

Perfect for people who drive a lot and wish to derive more value from every dollar they spend on gas. The price of gasoline in Malaysia is pretty high these days. However, if you use any credit card for gas, you can earn rewards points, rebates, or miles merely by making gas purchases.

Travel credit card

This kind of credit card is designed specifically for regular travellers from all walks of life and will help you cut some costs on your travel bills. Any perks can be yours with a travel credit card: miles, cash back, coupons, free use of airport lounges, free insurance, and more.

Islamic credit card

This subset of credit cards isn’t as complex as it sounds; they function like regular credit cards. The main distinction is that they must adhere to Shariah-compliant expenditure guidelines. Plus, Islamic credit cards are open to all faiths.

Credit card for air miles

Credit cards that earn airline miles are exactly what regular fliers and vacationers need. Gather as many airline miles as possible; you never know when you might be able to use them as a free flight voucher.

Airport lounge access credit card

Do you know that if you have certain credit cards, you can have free access to the airport lounge (such as the Plaza Premium Lounge) whenever you travel? We’re serious—you can. You may be eligible for this free access to lounges if you meet the minimum expenditure requirements or fulfil other restrictions.

e-Commerce credit card

Why not make the most of your online purchases using a credit card made specifically for online purchases? Depending on the agreement, you may receive cash back or points toward future purchases. You can save money with cashback and get gift cards with reward points.

Movie advertising credit card

Do you realize that choosing a specific provider can get special card offers, discounts, and even cash back at your favourite movie theatres? Buying tickets at once might add up to a hefty sum for the movies. Using this type of credit card makes sense if you want to save money, and a few credit cards give you reward points for things you buy that are not related to movie promotions.

High-end credit card

Designed for VIPs and high-network people. As their name implies, premium credit cards have higher annual income restrictions and offer far more appealing perks.
With golfing, travel, and other special perks, this credit card is made to take your luxurious life to a higher level.
Get rewarded for your spending while saving time and money.

Earn Rewards
Worldwide acceptance
Urgent transactions

Who Can Apply for a Credit Card?

To apply for a credit card, the primary cardholder should not at below 21 years old, while the secondary cardholder must be at least 18 years old.

What is the Difference between Principal Card and Supplementary Card ?

A supplemental card is an additional credit card issued under the principle account holder, whereas a principal card is the primary credit card owned by the main account person. A supplemental card may be issued to an individual’s parents, spouse, children over the age of 18, or other trusted individuals at the discretion of the primary cardholder.

What is the Minimum Salary Requirement to Get a Credit Card Issued ?

The guidelines provided by Bank Negara Malaysia state that a new primary card applicant must have an annual income of no less than RM24,000 to qualify for the minimum income requirement. When prospective users cannot provide proof of their yearly income, they must post a specific deposit equal to the credit limit authorized.

What is the Maximum Credit Limit I Can Get ?

Credit limits for primary cardholders with annual incomes of RM36,000 or less must not exceed two and a half times the cardholder’s monthly revenue, per Bank Negara Malaysia regulations (per bank). This is for both new and current cardholders but not for retired people. When a cardholder makes more than RM36,000 a year, the bank will decide how much of a credit limit to give.

How Many Credit Cards Can I Have ?

Bank Negara Malaysia regulations state that a cardholder having an annual income of no less than RM36,000 may only have credit cards from no more than two providers (financial institutions or banks). If your annual income is over RM36,000, no restrictions apply to the credit cards you can own. How Much is the Lowest Monthly Repayment of my Credit Card?

What is the Interest Rate ?

When a credit card user fails to pay off their balance fully and on time, the interest rate is added to the total amount owed. The following are the interest rate types (also known as financing charges) for credit cards that Bank Negara Malaysia permits:

What Happens if I Miss the Credit Card Payment ?

How Much is the Annual Fee ?

Some of the best credit cards don’t charge an annual fee, while others may waive it under certain circumstances. Remember that an RM25 service tax will apply to all new and renewed primary and supplementary credit cards. Most people would rather have a credit card that doesn’t charge them anything yearly than one that waives their annual fee. A credit card that offers a fee waiver may be a good choice for certain people because meeting the waiver criteria is often easy.

For example, Bank A only gives a platinum credit card to people who make at least RM3,000 per month, while Bank B gives them to anyone who earns at least RM2,000 per month.
