UOB LAUNCHES NEW INFINITE CARD DESIGNED TO TAP INTO WEALTHY MALAYSIANS’ PASSION FOR TRAVEL, LUXURY SHOPPING AND DINING Kuala Lumpur, 1 June 2012 – Indulgences such as travel, luxury goods and dining, are the top three items on the shopping lists of Malaysia’s wealthy consumers, according to card spending data released today by United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd (UOB Malaysia). This customer insight was central to the design of the UOB Infinite Credit Card which features must-have travel and lifestyle privileges with leading brands such as Bvlgari, Cartier, Hermes and Rolex. The card is the Bank’s most exclusive card product and is available strictly by invitation only to customers with an annual income of RM300,000 per annum and above. Mr Kevin Lam, Managing Director of Personal Financial Services of UOB Malaysia said that travel privileges were a key focus of the UOB Infinite Credit Card because of wealthy Malaysians’ passion for travel. The card spending patterns of wealthy cardholders over the last six months1 showed that they spent the most on travel, with 17 per cent of total spend going towards purchases of air tickets and hotel accommodation. Fifteen per cent was on luxury products such as jewellery, watches and fashion, while 12 per cent was on dining. “Almost one in every five Ringgit spent on cards by wealthy consumers is travel-related. We expect this number to rise as the level of affluence in Malaysia increases and wealthy consumers travel more frequently in the coming years. We expect travel-related purchases to be key drivers behind an anticipated 20 per cent increase in total card spend volume for all premium credit cards over the next year,” said Mr Lam.
Malaysians have been flying more this year encouraged by the strength of the Ringgit, easy access to online travel bookings sites and attractive travel promotions from increased competition among air carriers. According to the Malaysian airport authorities, air travel by Malaysians has increased 6.5 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to the corresponding quarter last year2 .
