Requirements for OFW 's Applying for Credit Card

In case some of our fellow OFW 's are wondering what the requirements are when applying for OFW credit cards, check out the list below. I got the documents sent to me by 3 major Philippine banks from the Philippines while as was working in Saudi Arabia.



OFW CREDIT CARD APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Personal Identifications
a. Passport
b. Driver's License
c. SSS photocard
d. Philippine Regulatory Commission (PRC) ID

2. Certificate of employment or contract of employment; and

3. OFW working visa or OFW work permit issued in the country of residence, OFW card issued by the POEA or POEA certificate



Be sure that before filling up any form, whether you are applying for credit card online, personal or through postal mail, prepare the necessary documents first. The items listed above are just the basic credit card application requirements for OFW. Oftentimes, they areenough but you can never be sure which of the documents you submitted will be validated by the application reviewers. If you can provide more documents that will prove your identity, employment status and salary eligibility then better include it in your application. "The more the merrier" sabi nga nila he he.


DONT SEND ORIGINAL COPIES OF THE OFW DOCUMENTARY REQUIREMENTS!


Have all the documents that you will be using for your credit card application photocopied and make sure each copy is photocopied back to back, clearly and that all important texts are visible especially important numbers like ID numbers, name and photos.

If you have more questions regarding the documents needed to when applying for credit cards please send me a line by posting a comment.

Thanks and good luck in your application.

Pare-pareho lang ba ng application requirements sa lahat ng mga naga-aaply ng credit card kahit saang bank? I am an OFW working for a Saudi Arabian call center for ladies and I am currently receiving SR 3,000 per month. I have a VISA credit card issued by Saudi Banque Fransi. OK lang ba na dalawa ang credit card ko?

Thanks nga po pala sa info.

Analiza: Multiple credit card holders are typical lalo na sa OFW within major countries in the western hemisphere. Siguro ganun din sa Middle East since halos pareho lang naman ang policy ng mga credit card companies worldwide. Banks just somewhat acts as intermediary lang naman between CC companies and CC holders. Pwede pa ngang i-transfer ang credit card balance from one credit card to another credit card account.

Jena: Try to apply for a new credit card account online through a Philippine local bank's website. State your local and present address. DO NOT LEAVE ANY FIELD BLANK. They will forward your application to a branch nearest your present address. You will have to appear at least once (usually twice) for verification and/or claiming (most of the time they send the card via courier).

All OFW's currently in "active" and legal status are eligible to apply for credit cards as long as they meet the minimum salary requirement set by the bank or credit card provider you are submitting your application to.
