Who can Apply for the Standard Bank Titanium Credit Card?

The Standard Bank Titanium Credit Card represents a premium offering with a more selective application process, catering to a specific clientele due to its elevated benefits and associated maintenance costs.

As a premium card, it imposes stricter criteria for client selection. Notably, applicants are not required to hold a Standard Bank account, offering flexibility for those who wish to apply directly through internet banking or by phone, leveraging existing contact information stored by the bank.

To be eligible for the Titanium card, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Possess a valid identity card or passport for South African residence
• Demonstrate a minimum monthly income of R25,000, substantiated by appropriate documentation

The Standard Bank does not impose major distinctions beyond these criteria, making the Titanium Credit Card accessible to a wider range of potential users.

This approach aligns with the bank’s strategy to offer premium services to clients who meet the specified requirements, providing them with an exclusive financial tool without additional restrictions.
