What to Remember When Cancelling Your Standard Chartered Credit Card

Here are a few things you need to keep in mind when you are looking to deactivate your Standard Chartered credit card:

1) Pay off the outstanding dues on your credit card

For the bank to entertain your request to cancel your Standard Chartered credit card, you would need to first clear any dues against your credit card.

2) Do not make fresh payments using the card

If you have applied to close your Standard Chartered credit card, you must refrain from using your credit card to make new transactions.

3) Stop auto-payments

While you are preventing yourself consciously from making any new purchases on the card, automatic payments set against your card would need to be cancelled too. Failing to do this would result in statement generation and further delay in the cancellation process.

4) Redeem all accumulated rewards

Once your Standard Chartered credit card termination request is accepted, all your credit card reward points will expire. Therefore, you must redeem all your accumulated reward points before cancelling your credit card.
