Standard Chartered unveils instant e-credit card issuance and loan disbursement

Personal loans of up to $200,000 can be disbursed within minutes of application.

Standard Chartered Bank has rolled out instant digital credit card issuance capabilities for clients applying on its website, online banking platform and mobile app in what it claims is a first in Singapore.

By leveraging on digital data repository MyInfo, clients can save time in filling up application forms on the bank’s real-time onboarding platform.

Upon receiving approval, applicants can activate their digital credit card and log in to SC Online Banking and SC Mobile to retrieve their credit card details and start using their cards for payments and online purchases with merchants that use 3-Domain Secure (3DS) with One-Time Password (OTP).

Personal loans of up to $200,000 will also be disbursed within minutes of application.

The latest digital offering comes after Standard Chartered has seen 33% QoQ growth in new mobile active clients, witnessed twice the number of digital service requests, and seen the number of mobile wallet transactions balloon 80% from 2018. “With this shift towards an increasingly digital lifestyle, we believe that our instant digital credit card and loan disbursement capabilities will greatly enhance the overall client experience,” Natalia Goh, head of credit cards and personal loans, Standard Chartered Bank Singapore said in a statement.

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.
