In case you haven’t heard, MariBank is a digital bank licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sea Limited. 

Key Benefits:

  • Earn 5% Unlimited Shopee Coins3  with Mari Credit Card Instant Checkout
  • No minimum spend and no maximum cashback cap 
  • No Annual Card Fee and almost instant approval 
  • Able to set up auto credit card bill repayment from your Mari Savings Account using  the MariBank app making it even simpler for you 

Let’s deepdive into each benefit!

1.7% Unlimited Cashback on eligible card spend

The first and most exciting benefit is that you earn 1.7% Unlimited Cashback on eligible card spend. Unlimited means that there is no maximum cashback cap. Plus, there is no minimum spend required for this card, every dollar spend is going to earn you 1.7% cashback! 

Of course, there are the usual bank exclusions like insurance or government payments, but nothing out of the ordinary when compared to other banks! 

 

5% Unlimited Shopee Coins on Shopee spend

For those who love to shop on Shopee, this card is definitely for you. Mari Credit Card has an Instant Checkout feature on Shopee that allows users to perform seamless checkout without having to key in your credit card details. This feature is called the “Mari Credit Card Instant Checkout”, simply sign up for the card and do a one-time linkage of your Mari Credit Card to your Shopee account. Here is the guide, if you need. All purchases made will be collated in your card statement, fuss-free! 

It comes with 2 payment options – (1) Pay In Full, (2) 3x Installments. Only by checking out with ‘Pay In Full’, you can enjoy 5% Shopee Coins!  The best part, you can instantly tell how many coins you will receive by scrolling to the bottom of the checkout page. No more mental sums! If you are still hungry for more Shopee coins, you can stack them with promotional vouchers on the Shopee platform, this includes Mari Credit Card exclusive vouchers that you may receive in your voucher wallet! 

Don’t Forget to Stack Shopee Vouchers with the 5% Shopee Coins for Your Purchases! 

This is purely for illustration purposes. 

Recently, I became interested in a portable dishwasher that I might purchase for my future home. At the time of writing, it was priced at S$369.

I claimed a 15% cashback voucher on Shopee to get S$40 worth of Shopee Coins from the “Daily Vouchers” section. This voucher allows me to earn a maximum cashback of 4,000 Shopee Coins and requires a minimum purchase of S$50 for home appliances products. Discounts will differ from promo to promo. So do check your Shopee app for the latest voucher drops to get maximum value. 

Additionally, by charging this transaction to my Mari Credit Card using the Mari Credit Card Instant Checkout Pay In Full, I enjoyed additional 5% Shopee Coins i.e. 1,845 Shopee Coins (worth S$18.45). In total, through this purchase, by stacking the voucher with my Mari Credit Card Instant Checkout, I received 5,845 Shopee Coins (worth S$58.45), which is equivalent to 15.8% of the listed price of my home appliance (excluding shipping fee). 

This card is especially great for people who shop a lot on Shopee because the 5% Shopee Coins have no limit. Even if you spend a large amount, like S$1,000 or S$10,000, you’ll still get 5% Shopee Coins . Nowadays, you can find almost anything on Shopee and there are currently no credit cards in Singapore that give you UNLIMITED 5% Shopee Coins ! 

Do note that the following actions do not earn you 5% Shopee Coins:

  1. Checking out via “3x Installments” instead of “Pay In Full” via Mari Credit Card Instant Checkout.
  2. Manually entering your Mari Credit Card 16- digit number, under the Credit Card/Debit Card payment method. This checkout option will earn you 1.7% cashback instead. These rewards are not stackable.
  3. Purchasing products under the “Digital Products” catalogue. E.g. Telco top-ups. 

No Annual Card Fee and almost instant approval 

Thirdly, there is no Annual Card Fee, which means that you don’t have the added hassle to call the bank for a waiver every year. Personally, I could almost instantaneously submit my card application and I got the approval really quickly. 

Eligibility & Fees: 

  • Minimum Annual Income: S$30,000 
  • Citizenship: Singaporeans or PR 
  • Age: 21 years old and above
  • Annual Card Fee: None 
  • For other applicable fees, refer here

In summary, MariBank’s first credit card offers a compelling deal for both frequent Shopee shoppers and those seeking a high cashback card. It’s 1.7% Unlimited Cashback and 5% Shopee Coins with no minimum spend requirement and no maximum cashback cap provide substantial savings without much hassle, especially compared to other credit cards that often have minimum spending requirements or caps on the cashback earned.
