Malaysians Want Tit for Tat: Credit Card Choices Show More People are Making Informed Decisions

Kuala Lumpur – More and more Malaysians are becoming financially savvy when it comes to their credit card choices, according to data from CompareHero. The financial comparison website recorded a surge in users comparing financial products and services. Among the most popular categories are credit cards.

“The data that we have is really remarkable in the sense that it does reflect that many Malaysians are becoming finance-savvy,” CompareHero Managing Director Floyd Sijmons says, talking about the trend in internal leads the company has generated. CompareHero was launched just this year and is currently expanding into other areas of financial comparison. The website has seen more and more users comparing financial services and products after its recent redesign and aggressive marketing campaigns.

So far, Sijmons says the emerging trends are rather interesting, as the data points out how users are “showing interest in products where they can gain something in return.” When comparing credit cards, for example, users have a tendency to favour cards that offer specific perks and privileges.

CompareHero’s data shows that out of all the credit cards the website compares, many Malaysians are favouring credit cards that offer specific incentives such as air miles and loyalty points. The leading incentives include:

  • Petrol incentives
  • Frequent flyer miles
  • Car-based incentives
  • Cash back incentives
  • Rebate loyalty rewards

This trend is made possible by CompareHero’s unique platform where users can collect personalized output and compare thousands of credit cards without leaving the website. As users enjoy greater understanding of what credit cards offer which perks and incentives, they show more interest in options that relate to their own financial situations.

Sijmons pointed out that CompareHero’s task doesn’t end with mere comparison, but also extends to the need to continuously assist Malaysians on their quest to empower themselves financially. “My goal is to break down the stigma of personal finance being “too intimidating” to take on without a financial advisor or broker. Malaysians are intelligent to do so, we just need to show them the way,” he said enthusiastically.

CompareHero’s mission has always been to help its Malaysian users save money by making better informed purchase decisions through providing a free and convenient comparison platform they can use to compare products and services. Beyond that, CompareHero also aims to be a one-stop shop for information, resources, and guides that its users can use to become even more financially savvy.

The new dataset of credit card comparison output confirms that CompareHero is on the right track, and it is providing Malaysians with a unique and valuable free service that they can leverage to regain control over their finances.

欣见2020年国人觉醒 陈清木敦促政府审慎缓解国人当前困境

前进党秘书长陈清木医生,在脸书透过短片发表新年感言,欣见国人在2020年觉醒、选民趋向成熟。同时,他也敦促政府施政表现更大的透明度和更严明的问责制,审慎决策以缓解国人当前困境。 他坦言,2020年对所有人来说都是艰苦的一年,我们目前正经历着立国以来最严重的经济衰退。无论是哪个行业,都因这次的经济下滑收到冲击。 我们当中有些人失去了工作, 也有些人感染了冠病。大家都寄望新的一年能为国家经济注入新的气象。 “深受其害的不只是新加坡。全世界都因冠状病毒的肆虐而陷入停滞。这病毒是无形的,各国政府能做的就只能是通过封城或行动限制令来阻止它的快速传播。代价是经济发展因而停顿,许多社区与人民也因此陷入经济困境。” 我国并没有对冠病免疫、也不能幸免疫情对经济的冲击。他指出,许多国人已跌至贫穷线下,但政府未设定明确贫困线,使得他们未能及时受到经济援助。 仍需要助失业国人、恢复经济荣景 “所幸的是,下来疫苗接种计划的全面开展,能为疫情的有效控制带来一丝希望。 但是它所能做的也就只是阻止病毒的传播。 我们仍然需要重建经济,并帮助失业的国人进行再培训和再技能化,使国家经济能恢复疫情前的荣景。” 对于2020年,陈清木欣见新加坡政坛继续蓬勃发展,选民也趋向成熟。 “但令我更感欣慰的是有许多来自不同领域的杰出才俊,不畏强权挺身而出,选择与我并肩参加2020年的大选。”…
