Standard Titanium Card: entry requirements and the postgraduate degree route

Your postgraduate degree offers an alternative to the income requirement. Without a Standard Bank account, you can request a callback for a quote.

Titanium Credit Card (Standard Bank)

You need income of R25 000 or more a month, or a postgraduate degree, for the Standard Titanium Card. You must also be over 18.

Your entry route, monthly fee waiver and the checks before approval

Your personalised interest rate varies with Prime. Standalone fees are R110 monthly, even with unused benefits. A Prestige Banking Account bundle waives service and card fees.

Unbundle and both fees return; other fees apply. Petrol and other cash debts draw interest immediately. Credit checks and FICA apply even with a postgrad degree.

Your interest rate and the charges behind your card

Standard Bank sets the margin linking your rate to Prime in your offer. Standalone monthly fees are R40 for service and R70 for the card. A R200 initiation fee applies; fees include VAT.

Petrol, withdrawals, electronic transfers and bill payments draw interest on debt immediately until repaid. So do travellers’ cheques, online gambling, casino chips and forex.
