FIs disallowed from granting further unsecured credit to borrowers whose outstanding interestbearing unsecured debt aggregated across FIs exceed the borrowing limit as specified by MAS for 3 consecutive months or more (“borrowing limit”). The borrowing limit is:
(a) 24 times monthly income with effect from 1 June 2015;
(b) 18 times monthly income with effect from 1 June 2017; and
(c) 12 times monthly income with effect from 1 June 2019.
How can a borrower determine his unsecured debt, aggregated across FIs?
From 1 April 2015, the credit bureau report will split the unsecured debt into interest- 9 bearing and non-interest bearing debt. Only interest-bearing unsecured debt will be taken into account for the purpose of the borrowing limit.
