Figures are as each bank publishes them. 0 of 21 cards state a minimum monthly salary, 16 state an annual fee, 20 state an interest or profit rate and 5 state whether a salary transfer is required. A dash means the bank does not publish that figure — not that it is zero.
Default ranking: cards are ordered by how much of the decision they let you make — how many of the four numbers (minimum salary, annual fee, rate, salary transfer) the bank publishes, then how many benefits are documented, then user rating. It is not a paid placement and it is not alphabetical. Use the sort links in the table header to rank by fee, rate or salary instead.
Showing 21 of 21 cards.
Every figure comes from the issuing bank's own published terms, stored per card. Country attribution uses the product's own market, not the bank's branch footprint, so a multinational's Hong Kong catalogue never appears here. Interest and profit rates are annualised figures as published; a few banks quote a monthly rate instead, so confirm the basis with the issuer before you compare two cards on rate alone. Verify the current terms with the bank before you apply.
