Pros & cons

Pros 

Cons

Eligible purchases are automatically split into interest-free instalments — 3 months for spend between $100 and $1,000, and 6 months for spend above $1,000. This helps users manage cash flow without worrying about additional interest charges.

If you do not meet the minimum monthly spend of $800, your cashback rate drops to only 0.5% on all spend.

Unlike some cards where you need to manually select cashback categories, the OCBC NXT Credit Card automatically categorises your spend. As long as you hit the minimum spend, you enjoy elevated cashback on dining, groceries, transport, fuel, and online travel.

The cashback cap for each category limits the total amount of cashback you can earn monthly, which may restrict those who spend heavily across multiple categories.

Cardholders enjoy a waiver of the $163.50 annual fee in the first 2 years, making it easy to try the card with no upfront cost.

Payments like Grab, Gojek, taxi services, government services, insurance, and utilities are excluded from cashback.

 

Who is this card for

The OCBC NXT Credit Card is ideal for budget-conscious spenders who can consistently hit the $800 monthly spend across groceries, fuel, and dining to maximise cashback. Families and working adults with regular household bills and essential expenses will also find great value, thanks to the card’s generous cashback structure. Drivers in Singapore can benefit from 5% cashback on fuel, along with extra savings at petrol stations. Lastly, the card suits home-based spenders who mainly make local purchases and prefer cashback over air miles or travel rewards.

Compare to other cards

OCBC NXT Credit Card is suitable for individuals who prefer to manage their cash flow through interest-free instalments and can benefit from modest cashback on larger purchases.

In comparison, the UOB One Card rewards consistent monthly spending across a variety of categories, making it ideal for those with predictable spending habits. 

Additionally, Citi Cash Back Card offers high cashback rates on everyday essentials like dining, groceries, and commuting, benefiting users who can meet the monthly spend requirement.
