Borrower's consent for unsecured credit and credit limits


Yes, otherwise you must get their consent.

According to MAS (Explainers)

last revised on 30 May 2017

When setting the credit limit on a new credit card or unsecured credit facility, FIs must either:

  • Ask the borrower what their preferred credit limit is.
  • Get the borrower’s consent for the credit limit amount.

This ensures borrowers are granted credit limits that they are comfortable with, for security reasons and protection against overspending.
