He said he couldn't tell me and that I was welcome to get a credit score assessment. I didn't bother, as I had just obtained a card from DBS, have never missed a payment on anything, so I didn't think there was any issue there.

There's still a lot of things in SIN I will never understand (or that seem to follow their own logic).

When I was on EP I used HSBC cards extensively due to a good credit record overseas and relocation assistance.
I only ventured into the local credit card game once a PR.
