    No Name

    There are a lot of cases not only in Singapore but all over the world. Identity theft is an illegal thing to do. Being someone who is not you is against all the laws in the world. Usually things like this happens to banks. You can easily prove yourself that you are not the one who is using your credit card at that time and the bank can locate where the transaction is made.

Lending my credit card

Before you share your plastic with a relative, a friend, or an employee, review the cardholder agreement for your credit card to determine whether sharing your card is permitted. Some issuers outright prohibit anyone who isn't named on the card from using it. if you give someone else permission to use your card, it does not count as unauthorized use, but you will be liable for all charges they make.

should I use mine or should I avoid all completely

You just need to way out if it would be a priority to spend the money now and pay for it later, its all about answering the question of it being necessary? Because if it isnt then it I strongly suggest that you put the credit card down and just save up, credit cards pile up with interest but I dont think the interest that you expect is as big as you think, especially if you are able to pay for it in the span of months.

DBS charges interest rate of 2.28% for its car loans to individuals that apply online and that is the lowest rate offered for both new and used car loans in Singapore. In my opinion this makes DBS the most affordable option for those that require financing in order to purchase a vehicle. It is also worth noting that DBS is currently offering an even lower rate for the purchase of used cars (1.99% p.a.) in a promotion.
