Gan et al. (2008) examined Singapore’s diverse cardholders in search of variations among demographic groups, credit card profiles and their perceptions with regard to credit card ownership and use. Their study aimed to discuss possible reasons governing Singaporean consumers’ credit card ownership and use. The number of credit cards was found to be significantly influenced by income and gender as well as perceptions about credit card, that lead to overspending, savings as payment source, unreasonable interest rates and credit card as a status symbol. The number of credit cards was also affected by credit-card-related variables such as frequent missing of payments, frequencyof use, entertainment expenditures and petrol purchase.
