Over half a million Singaporeans ditched travel credit cards: survey

More planning to get rid of theirs if restrictions remain in place in 2021.

A third of Singaporeans have gotten rid of their travel credit cards during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a survey by Finder.com.

They estimate about 33% or over half a million Singaporean adults have ditched their travel credit cards as travel halted over the region.

Another 435,000 surveyed said they plan to get rid of their travel credit cards if restrictions remain in place in 2021.

The survey found that young Singaporeans were most likely to have ditched their cards, with 43% of those aged 25-34 making the switch, along with 39% of 18 to 24-year-olds.

Of those getting rid of their travel card, men were more likely to ditch it than women, with close to two-fifths (38%) of men having made the switch to another card compared to over a quarter of women (26%).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
