Abstract

Credit card proliferation could bring adverse consequences to cardholders and financial institutions if the credit risk is not managed prudently. The objective of this study is to identify the factors affecting timely repayment of credit card loan in East Malaysia. Attitude towards credit, dependability, image consciousness and financial planning were found to have a significant impact on timely payment of credit card outstanding balance.
