• total amount of credit extended under
  unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards that are available for further use as at the end of the quarter and includes any undrawn facilities; and
• total outstanding balance of unsecured
  credit facilities linked to debit cards which are not available for further use but which have outstanding balances thereon (unless they are written off). For the avoidance of doubt, unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards which are not available for further use and which have no outstanding balances shall not be reported. 3 Total outstanding balance of unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards Means the aggregate amount outstanding and payable to the Reporting entity due to unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards, including free credit balance and interest-bearing balance, but does not include any credit facility that has been written off or any unsecured credit facilities not repaid at due date. 3a ‘Free credit’ balance Refers to balances that are not subject to interest charges. For instalments, the total outstanding instalment amount including the first billing shall be classified under ‘free credit balance’ if the total outstanding instalment amount, including the first billing, is not subject to interest charges. The total outstanding instalment amount shall be run down each month when the individual pays his monthly instalments. Transfer balances shall be included under ‘free credit balance’ if the transfer balance is not subject to interest charges.

Item Description Notes for Completion 3b Interest-bearing balances by age Means balances that are subject to interest charges, but do not include the balances accumulated by:
(i) individuals who did not make the minimum payment; and (ii) individuals with over-limit amounts which are past due date. For instalments, the total outstanding instalment amount shall be classified under ‘interest-bearing balances’ if any part of the total outstanding instalment amount is subject to interest charges. The total outstanding instalment amount shall be run down each month when the individual pays his monthly instalments. Transfer balances shall be included under ‘interest-bearing balance by age’ if any part of the transfer balance is subject to interest charges. Interest and other charges (e.g. late payment charges) shall be excluded from the ‘Value’ figures for item 3b, 3b(i) – (v). Where an individual owes both ‘free credit balance’ and ‘interest-bearing balances’, he shall be reported under ‘Interest-bearing balances by age’. 3b(i)- (v) Interest-bearing balances by age (i) Less than 30 days (ii) 30 – 59 days (iii) 60 – 89 days (iv) 90 – 119 days (v) 120+ days Age refers to the consecutive number of days up to the end of the reporting quarter during which any part of the individual’s outstanding balance attracts interest. Where an individual has multiple unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards with different interest-bearing periods, the individual and the balances on all his 1 For example, an individual first charges $1,000 to his unsecured credit facility linked to a debit card on 5 February. The amount charged attracts interest from 6 February. By end March, the ‘age’ of his interest bearing balance would be 54 days (no. of days between 6 Feb (inclusive) and 31 March (inclusive)).

Item Description Notes for Completion unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards shall be reported under the ‘Number’ and ‘Value’ column respectively, in the single row which reflects the age of the unsecured credit facility with the longest interest-bearing period. 3c Interest and other charges Means any bank charges, fees, interest charges and late payment charges. 4 Unsecured credit facilities not repaid at due date This shall include individuals who fail to make the minimum payment by the payment due date or who have over-limit amounts which are past due. Once the required payment is not paid at due date, the entire amount outstanding, and not just the required amount that was not made, shall be included in the value figures. This shall not include any overdue credit facility where a Reporting entity has negotiated for a change in repayment terms with the individual and payments are still being made in accordance with the repayment terms (“restructured credit facility”). However, where the individual defaults again in subsequent quarters, such credit facility shall be re-included in the returns for that quarter as if the credit facility were not a restructured credit facility.2 Any credit facility which has been written off shall not be reported. Interest and other charges shall be included in the value figures. 4a - 4e Unsecured credit facilities not repaid at due date (a) Less than 30 days (b) 30-59 days past due (c) 60-89 days past due (d) 90-179 days past due The number of days shall be computed based on the consecutive number of days up to the end of the reporting quarter that an unsecured credit facility linked to any debit card is past due. 2 For example, where a balance that was 30 days past due had been restructured, and the restructured balance was subsequently defaulted on again 90 days later, such a balance will be considered to be in arrears for 90+30 =120 days, and therefore placed in the “90-179 days past due” row.

Item Description Notes for Completion (e) 180+ days past due Where an individual has multiple credit facilities linked to debit cards with varying days past due, the individual and the balances on all his unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards shall be reported under the ‘Number’ and ‘Value’ column respectively, in the single row which reflects the past due period of the unsecured credit facility with the most number of days past due. Interest and other charges shall be included in the value figures. 4f Of which: Interest and other charges Means any bank charges, fees, interest charges and late payment charges included in the amounts reported under item 4. 5 Delinquent credit facilities Means any credit facility which is classified as delinquent by a Reporting entity. The internal definition of delinquent credit facilities is to be reported in the ‘Delinquent Credit Facility Grading Policy’ section. The number of individuals with delinquent credit facilities shall be reported, and not the number of delinquent credit facilities. Interest and other charges shall be included in the value figures. 6 Bad debts written off Means all bad debts written off in accordance with the write off policy for bad debts of a Reporting entity for the reporting quarter. Interest and other charges shall be included in the value figures. 7a￾7d Action initiated by Reporting entity against cardholder Means any action taken against an individual with overdue credit facilities as at the end of the quarter. Any credit facility which has been written off shall not be reported. When a Reporting entity has taken multiple actions against such an individual, the relevant credit facility shall be recorded under

Item Description Notes for Completion the latest stage of action. 3 The Reporting entity shall categorise the type of action taken against the individual as follows:
a) ‘Restructuring action’ means any action taken by the Reporting entity to negotiate for a change in repayment terms for any overdue credit facility with an individual, and such credit facility is still being repaid in accordance with the new repayment terms, and includes individuals reported under items 1a and 2a of
Table 7 who also have overdue credit
facilities; b) ‘Collection action’ means any formal action taken by the Reporting entity against an individual of an overdue credit facility, for example, the sending of demand letters, but does not include any restructured credit facility; c) ‘Legal action’ means the assignment of any overdue credit facility to external lawyers or external debt collectors; d) ‘Others’ mean any other action which is not a collection action, legal action or restructuring action. Interest and other charges shall be included in the value figures. Delinquent credit facility grading policy A Reporting entity shall submit to the Authority its policy for grading delinquent credit facilities. 3 For instance, a Reporting entity that has taken both collection action and legal action against a defaulter shall record the details of that credit facility under the ‘legal action’ row only.

Part III: Credit Cards
Notes for Completion of Part III Reporting entity Means any credit card issuer. Credit cards and charge cards referred to in section 57G(b) of the Act shall be reported under Table 5B. Individuals who hold cards issued under Regulation 14(5)(b) or (6) shall be reported in Table 5A. Where an individual holds both credit cards issued under Regulation 14(5)(b) or (6) and credit cards not issued under Regulation 14(5)(b) or (6), he shall be reported under Table 5A and not under Table 4. Credit card holders who are not reported in Tables 5A or 5B shall be reported in Table 4. Credit card A Reporting entity shall include statistics on co-branded cards that it has issued. S’porean & PR Only Singaporeans and PRs who are issued personal credit cards, and the amounts attributable to their personal credit cards shall be reported under S’porean & PR – ‘Number’ and S’porean & PR - ‘Value’ respectively. Cardholders who hold credit cards which are available for further use, notwithstanding that there may not be outstanding balances thereon or that they have not been drawn on for some time, shall be reported. Cardholders who hold cards which are not available for further use shall still be reported if there are outstanding balances thereon (unless they are written off). For the avoidance of doubt, cardholders who hold only cards which are not available for further use and which have no outstanding balances shall not be reported. Others Foreigners who are issued any credit card (including any personal card, business card, corporate card, or corporate purchasing card) and Singaporeans and PRs who are issued business cards, corporate cards, and corporate purchasing cards, and the amounts attributable to such cards, shall be reported under Others – ‘Number’ and Others – ‘Value’ respectively. Number Means the number of cardholders as at the end of the quarter, and not the aggregate of the number of cardholders in the 3 months in the quarter.

For the purpose of this Part, a Reporting entity shall consider an individual as a single cardholder, irrespective of the number of credit cards he holds. Only individuals holding principal cards (i.e. not supplementary cards only) shall be included. Value Means the value as at the end of the quarter, and not the aggregate of the 3 months’ value, unless otherwise stated. Amounts attributable to unsecured credit facilities drawn down through debit cards, which are reported in Part II shall not be reported under this Part.

• total amount of credit extended on credit
  cards that are available for further use as at the end of the quarter and includes any undrawn facilities; and
• total outstanding balance of credit cards
  which are not available for further use but which have outstanding balances thereon (unless they are written off). For the avoidance of doubt, credit cards which are not available for further use and which have no outstanding balances shall not be reported.

Item Description Notes for Completion Unsecured credit facilities linked to debit cards shall be reported in Table 3, and not Table 4. 3 Total outstanding balance of credit cardholders Means the aggregate amount outstanding and payable to a Reporting entity due to credit cards, including ‘free credit’ balance and rollover balance, but does not include any credit card facility that has been written off. 3a ‘Free credit’ balance Refers to balances that are not subject to interest charges. For instalments, the total outstanding instalment amount, including the first billing, shall be classified under ‘free credit balance’ if the total outstanding instalment amount, including the first billing, is not subject to interest charges. The total outstanding instalment amount shall be run down each month when the cardholder pays his monthly instalments.4 Transfer balances shall be included under ‘free credit balance’ if the transfer balance is not subject to interest charges. 3b Rollover balance by age Means balances that are subject to interest charges and includes any required minimum payment not settled by due date, interest and other charges. For instalments, the total outstanding instalment amount shall be classified under ‘rollover balance by age’ if any part of the total outstanding instalment amount is subject to interest charges. Illustration: A cardholder purchases an item worth $12,000 under a 1-year interest-free instalment plan offered by Company A whereby no interest will be charged if the cardholder pays each month’s instalment by the due date. In the first month January, he is billed $1,000. The due date is 5 February. At end-January, the $1,000 is reflected under “billings of Reporting entity’s cardholders in Singapore” and an outstanding $12,000 (of which $1,000 is billed but not yet due/settled) at end-January under “‘Free Credit’ balance’. In the second month, February, he pays the first instalment of $1,000 on 5 February and is again billed $1,000, which is reflected under "billings of Reporting entity’s cardholders in Singapore" and an outstanding $11,000 is reflected under ’Free Credit’ balance. In the third month, March, he pays the monthly instalment of $1,000 by the due date and is again billed $1,000. For the purpose of the March reporting to MAS, a Reporting entity is to record the $1,000 billings in March together with the $2,000 billings in January & February, i.e. a total of $3,000 under “billings of Reporting entity’s cardholders in Singapore” (in Table 1). An outstanding amount of $10,000 ($12,000 - $1,000 - $1,000) is to be reflected under ‘free credit balance’ in the March reporting to MAS.

Item Description Notes for Completion The total outstanding instalment amount shall be run down each month when the cardholder pays his monthly instalments.5 When an instalment becomes past due, the total outstanding instalment amount which attracts interest shall be reported under ‘rollover balance by age’ and ‘credit cardholders who do not meet minimum payment requirement’. Transfer balances shall be included under ‘rollover balance by age’ if any part of the transfer balance is subject to interest charges. When instalments on transfer balances become past due, the amount shall be reported under ‘rollover balance by age’ and ‘cardholders who do not meet minimum payment requirement’. Where an individual owes both ‘free credit’ balance and rollover balance, he shall be reported under ‘rollover balance by age’. 3b(i)- (v) Rollover balance by age (i) Less than 30 days (ii) 30-59 days (iii) 60-89 days (iv) 90-119 days (v) 120+ days Age refers to the consecutive number of days up to the end of the reporting quarter during which any part of the individual’s total outstanding balance attracts interest. Where an individual holds multiple cards with different rollover periods, the individual and the balances on all his cards shall be reported under the ‘Number’ and ‘Value’ column respectively, in Illustration: A cardholder purchases an item worth $12,000 in January under a 1-year interest-free instalment plan offered by Company A whereby no interest will be charged on the instalment and outstanding amounts if the cardholder pays each month’s instalment by the due date. The cardholder has no other amounts outstanding on his card. The due date is the 5th of each month. The cardholder duly pays the first four monthly instalment of $1,000 in February, March, April and May. However, in the sixth month, June, he missed paying the fifth instalment of $1,000 by the due date and is billed $1,000 for the sixth instalment. As he has missed paying the fifth instalment by the due date, the outstanding amount of $8,000 will be charged interest. When reporting for end-June, the amount to be reflected under “billings of Reporting entity’s cardholders in Singapore” is $3,000 (billings for April, May & June) and the outstanding amount of $8,000 ($12,000 – 4 x $1,000) is to be reflected under ‘rollover balance by age’, ‘rollover balances by age (Less 30 days)’ and ‘credit cardholders who do not meet minimum payment requirement’. 6 For example, a cardholder first charges $1,000 to his credit card in January. The payment due date is 5 February. As at end January, $1,000 shall be reflected under ’free credit balance’. In February, he pays $100 by 5 February and charges another $500 on 10 February. The due date is 5 March. As he did not pay the January’s bill in full, he is charged interest. As at end February, $1,400 ($1,000 - $100 + $500) shall be reflected under ‘Rollover balance by age’ and ‘Rollover balance by age – Less than 30 days’ (based on the number of days between
5 Feb (exclusive) and 28 Feb (inclusive). In March, he pays $100 by 5 March and charges another $500 on 10 March. The due date is 5 April. As at end March, $1,800 ($1,400 - $100 + $500) shall be reflected under ‘Rollover balance by age’ and ‘Rollover balance by age – 30 – 59 days’. The cardholder has rolled over since 5 February. By end March, he would have rolled over 54 days (no. of days between 5 Feb (exclusive) and 31 March (inclusive)).

Item Description Notes for Completion the single row which reflects the rollover age of the card with the longest rollover period7 . 3c Of which: Interest and other charges Means any bank charges, fees, interest charges and late payment charges included under item 3b. 4 Average total rollover balance for the quarter Means the sum of rollover balances incurred by cardholders for each of the three months of the quarter, divided by three. Interest and other charges shall be included in the value figures. 5 Total instalment charges not due Means any balances on a purchase made under an instalment plan that have not been charged to a cardholder. Interest and other charges (if charged) shall be included in the value figures. 6 Total rollover balance of credit cards held by Singaporeans and PRs Means any balances held by Singaporeans and PRs which are subject to interest charges. Unlike the ‘rollover balance by age’ row, interest and other charges are to be excluded when reporting for this category. Any credit facility which has been written off need not be reported. 7a￾7c Normalised rollover balance of credit cards held by Singaporeans and PRs A Reporting entity shall normalise the “total rollover balance of credit cards held by Singaporeans and PRs” relative to the cardholder’s monthly income (i.e. dividing the rollover balance by the cardholder’s monthly income), based on the latest available income information that the Reporting entity has. Such normalised rollover balances of individuals shall be ranked from the least (0th percentile) to the most (100th percentile). The 90th and 95th percentile is the amount of normalised rollover balance that the 90th and 95th percentile owes 7 For example, a cardholder having a rollover for 95 days on one card and a rollover for 35 days on the other shall be recorded as a single statistic in the “90-119 days” column.

Item Description Notes for Completion respectively. Cardholders without any rollover balance shall be excluded. 8 Credit cardholders who do not meet minimum payment requirement Once minimum payment is not made, the entire amount outstanding on that card, and not just the minimum payment amount that is not made, shall be included in the value figures. This shall not include any overdue credit facility where a Reporting entity has negotiated for a change in repayment terms with the cardholder and payments are still being made in accordance with the repayment terms (“restructured credit facility”). However, where the cardholder defaults again in subsequent quarters, such credit facility shall be re-included in the returns for that quarter, as if the credit facility were not a restructured credit facility.8 Any credit facility which has been written off need not be reported. Interest and other charges (e.g. late payment charges) shall be reported separately in “Interest and other charges” (item 8f). 8a￾8e Credit cardholders who do not meet minimum payment requirement (a) Less than 30 days (b) 30-59 days past due (c) 60-89 days past due (d) 90-179 days past due (e) 180+ days past due The number of days shall be computed based on the consecutive number of days up to the end of the reporting quarter that an individual did not pay the minimum payments due.9 Where an individual has multiple credit cards with varying days past due, the individual and the balances on all his cards shall be reported under the ‘Number’ and ‘Value’ columns respectively, in the single row which reflects the past due age of the card with the most number of days past due. Interest and other charges (e.g. late payment charges) shall be reported separately in “Interest and other charges” (item 8f). 8 For instance, balances that had been 30 days past due, but had been restructured, and subsequently defaulted again 90 days later will be considered to be in arrears for 90+30 =120 days, and therefore placed in the “90 -179 days” row. 9 For example, a cardholder is required to pay at least the minimum payment on the 5th of every month, starting from January.
