Change in Minimum Payment Due wef 25 Jun 2018

With effect from 25 June 2018, the minimum monthly repayment amount (“Minimum Payment Due” or “MPD“) applicable to all your Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited Credit Card accounts1 (including funds transfers) will be revised to include the full approved monthly instalments under EasyPay Programme and 0% Interest Instalment Plan. With this change, the Minimum Payment Due will be:

With this revision, if you pay the MPD on a monthly basis, part of each payment made will go towards paying for your principal and full approved monthly instalment amount, enabling you to better manage the repayment and settle your outstanding balance faster.
