How does Timo Mastercard stand out compared to traditional credit cards?


In a wide range of options, especially between digital banks and traditional banks, which option should you go with when it comes to opening a credit card? Below are the 3 main points that should help you to find out the answer.

1. Qualification criteria

While the explosion of 4.0 technology is still booming, many traditional banks still require a wide range of paperwork and financial proof from customers applying for credit cards. On the other hand, digital banks continue to find ways to digitalize the process of opening a credit card for customers.
Insteading of having to fill out the application form at the counter, with a Timo Mastercard, customers can apply online via the website or the Timo app before coming to Timo Hangout to pick up their cards. Although you still need to be qualified based on certain criteria, however, you can quickly check if you are qualified right at home via the website or the Timo app.
You can apply for a Timo Mastercard if you meet one of the qualification criteria below:
As mentioned above, Timo allows customers to self-check to see if they are qualified, choose the suitable qualification criteria for themselves, fill in the application form online and book a suitable appointment to pick up their card at the nearest Timo Hangout. The application process is shortened and digitized to make it painless for every potential credit cardholder.

2. Benefits received from the credit card

With dozens of credit cards issued by every bank in the country, you need to carefully consider the benefits provided to choose a suitable credit card for yourself.
Common benefits received from credit cards include:
– Online purchases and overseas use are allowed
– Spending reimbursement
– Credit card installments
Before applying for a credit card for yourself, you should see if your spending needs match your chosen bank’s benefits offered for credit cards. You can see some outstanding benefits provided for Timo Mastercard below:
