No, you are not required to submit a new NCB consent for Citi Credit Cards / Ready Credit.

The credit limit for each of your Citi credit card will remain the same and total credit limit will be combined. In the case that you are also holding a UOB Credit Card, your credit line previously at Citi and UOB will be combined after the migration.

Please note that in order to comply with the Bank of Thailand's notification on credit line exposure, which can be no more than 5 times a customer's monthly income, UOB shall review your credit card usage and credit limit within 12 months after the migration. UOB reserves the right to adjust your credit limit based on internal policy and discretion, which may affect all card products you have with UOB at that time.

As Citibank has transferred its consumer banking business to United Overseas Bank (Thai) PCL on 1 November 2022, the same account number will appear in the credit report between Citibank and UOB as it is considered the same debt. Account details in credit report will also remain the same such as account opening date, credit limit , account number.

A shared credit limit is when more than one credit card is issued by a financial institution to a borrower. For example, a credit limit shared over 2 credit cards under Citibank. In a credit report, the credit limit will be displayed under each card in the same amount. However, Citibank’s credit limit will not be displayed in the credit report combined with UOB credit limit for UOB existing customer. It will be displayed separately.

UOB as a member of NCB is required under the Credit Information Business Act B.E.2545 with amendment thereto (Collectively, “CIB Act”) to provide all of your relevant credit information to NCB (“Credit Information”) and inform the customer on such provision of the Credit Information to NCB via electronic mail or other communication means as previously agreed and provided by the customer to Citi.

You can request to change the billing cycle date later per your preference from May 2024 onwards, and it will apply to all your product holdings.

For direct debit service 
For customers who have direct debit set up on a Citi deposit account for Citi Credit Card payments, those payments have automatically been debited from your UOB deposit account converted from Citi.

However, please use your new UOB deposit account number to set up all other standing instructions and direct debit once again. Please keep a record of your payee list and re-setup the list on the UOB TMRW app. 

For payment/transaction(s)
You may enrol for the recurring utilities payment service via UOB LINE Connect, by selecting ‘Credit Card Service’ and ‘Apply for Pay Bills’.
