      CIMB AWSM Card

      A great card to build your credit score for those who just started working but aren't eligible for those mainstream cards. Comes with 1% cashback on what youngsters would normally spend on anyway (telco, online shopping, dining) and there's no annual fees whatsoever, so that's a bonus! I'd recommend this card for those wanting to try out credit cards for the first time because it comes with a nice $500 limit so you don't blow your budget. You'll definitely learn to manage your cashflow with this one.

      CIMB AWSM Card

      Have been using this card for 1 year, since it was launched. Card approval and delivery via mail were swift! Customer service was helpful and able to resolve my queries on multiple occasions, they can be easily contacted via the hotline and the waiting time is minimal as compared to other banks. Most importantly, this credit card doesn't have an annual fee! So feel free to sign up without having to worry about any fees or whatsoever, (of course) unless you fail to pay your credit card bill(s) on time. The perks are pretty good too for a student/NSF credit card, 1% on online shopping, dining and telco! I use this card together with the Maybank eVibes which also gives 1% for all categories. Overall, I'd highly recommend this credit card for it's simple and fuss-free usage with no strings attached!

      A good credit card for students, along with a sweet 1% cashback for almost all spending that students usually make, on this card. This would be a good entry-level credit card for any students out there.

      The Best Cash Back Credit Cards Review 2020: How does CIMB AWSM Compare?

      Pros

      Considering the age of eligibility and its areas of cashback, CIMB AWSM is a card geared towards the younger crowd. CIMB AWSM is a suitable starter card for young adults as it requires a very manageable annual income of S$18,000 for salaried applicants, and is also accessible to NSFs and non-income-earning applicants like students above 18 years old. Moreover, its annual fee is also free, and its cashback rewards have no cap!

      Cons:

      If you fall outside this intended age group, the rewards and lower-income requirement might not be of much incentive for you. If your spending habits do not fit the categories of dining, entertainment, online shopping and telco, perhaps other cards might be better for you.
