SINGAPORE: A larger number of people in Singapore missed payments on their credit card bills last year as average card balances increased across all age groups, Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS) said on Monday.

CBS is a joint venture between the Association of Banks in Singapore and DBIC Holdings.

CBS' role is to provide information to banks and other financial services firm to help them strengthen their risk assessment capabilities.

According to CBS, 14.64 per cent of consumers missed at least one payment on their credit card accounts last year, up from 13.54 per cent in 2012. The figure was 12.55 per cent in 2011.

CBS also said average balance increased across all age groups, with men and women aged between 45 and 49 topping the spending chart with an average monthly balance of S$6,577 on all their credit cards.

The average balance per consumer was S$5,304 last year - a rise of 4.17 per cent over 2012.

The average balance refers to the amount spent on credit cards plus rollovers and financial charges.

The money lender shops (and pawnshops) thrive because the PAP govt allows it to be so.

It's also due to the casino. You can tell the difference before and after the first casino had opened its door for business. Before and after 2010.

It's you die your business as usual so long as the white skunks are always laughing all the way to the banks.

Well said. When the ST reports some negative news, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and blames the government.

However, when the MSM contains an upbeat report on how well the country is doing, it's labelled as propaganda and is written off as a pack of lies and distortions.

I have added to your points. Keep up the good work.

This report is from CBS, just visit their web-site. Please see below...

The setting up of a consumer credit bureau in Singapore is a significant addition to enhance the Republic´s risk management capability. Since 2002, the Banking Act has allowed CBS members to disclose and obtain credit-related information to mitigate consumer credit risk through information pooling from CBS. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) provides the regulatory guidance and support to CBS to bolster the integrity and transparency of Singapore´s financial sector.

Supported by MAS you guys believe???

I do not know what the the fuck you send love letter to me... I not interested about it...

What is the monthly minimum repayment for credit cards? Is it 3% or 5%? The low minimum monthly repayment is the main cause why credit card debts ballooned.

Quite surprise also to see sinkees so generous to pay interest for an average credit card debt of 6.5K! This is better than Ah Long/Legal Money Lender! Don't even need to hire runner. Just print statement and send out can liaoz.

They should simply remember to exclude the value of the property used for accomodation when they calculate net worth.

Even financial difficulties, like unable to pay their credit cards on time due to their lack of self-discipline in their spending, are blamed on the government.
