OCBC Infinity Review (2026)

OCBC Infinity is an incredibly simple card that can be described with just one sentence: 1.6% cashback except commonly excluded categories, and it works with OCBC 360 Account’s spend requirement.

That pretty much sums up the card, but for sign-up promo and a deeper look at things like its competition and how it interacts with OCBC 360, read on to find out more.

Card details

As the card name suggests, OCBC Infinity gives an unlimited amount of cashback, and there is also no minimum spend to worry about. It’s meant to be a simple, fuss-free credit card, and its lack of conditions and low earn rate reflect that.

The card is still subject to a list of exclusions commonly seen in other credit cards. As expected, things like e-wallet top ups and insurance are excluded. Of late, education and school-related expenses have also become a common exclusion of many credit cards, and this is also the case for OCBC Infinity.

Works with OCBC 360 Account’s Spend bonus

Perhaps one of the strongest things going for the OCBC Infinity is that it works as one of the eligible cards to qualify for OCBC 360 Account’s Spend requirement.

For those using an OCBC 360 Account, having extra 0.25% p.a. can make spend on an OCBC credit card more attractive:

Monthly Average BalanceApproximate Bonus Interest
(0.25% p.a.)
“Cashback” Rate on $500 of spend
S$100,000S$20.834.17%
S$75,000S$15.633.13%
S$50,000S$10.422.08%

When you have a sizeable amount in your OCBC 360 Account and have a choice to make between putting S$500 of spend on an eligible OCBC card or some other credit card, the extra interest from achieving the Spend category can tip the scales quite heavily in OCBC’s favour.

Even using it with CardUp or ipaymy makes sense — sure, your 1.6% cashback may not overcome the service fee in full, but you get your OCBC 360 interest and can reserve your retail spend for your high cashback and/or miles cards.

Example

Example: you have S$500 of groceries spend per month

Scenario A: use OCBC Infinity to pay

OCBC Infinity Cashback: S$8
OCBC 360 Interest: S$20.83 (assuming S$100,000 balance)

Net Gain: S$28.83

Scenario B: use grocery card to pay, use OCBC Infinity to pay bill via CardUp/ipaymy

Instead, consider using a grocery card to pay for the groceries while paying a S$500 bill through CardUp or ipaymy with OCBC Infinity.

Grocery Card Cashback: S$30 (assuming 6% cashback)
OCBC 360 Interest: S$20.83 (assuming S$100,000 balance)
CardUp/ipaymy Fee: S$14.50 (assuming 2.25% fee)
OCBC Infinity Cashback: S$8

Net Gain: S$44.33

Compared against other cards that work with OCBC 360

The question is then whether OCBC Infinity is the card to pick amongst the bunch of eligible OCBC credit cards. If you don’t want miles, the almost equally fuss-free OCBC 90°N is probably out of the picture (and if you do want miles, I’m not sure why you are this deep in a 1.6% cashback card review).

That leaves one of the other cards which are harder to use, even if they come with higher earn rates, and I guess that’s why people might consider the OCBC Infinity after all.

CashbackMiles
Low Effort, Low RewardsOCBC Infinity
1.6% cashback
OCBC 90°N (Visa / MC)
1.3 miles per dollar
More Effort, More RewardsOCBC 365
3 to 6% cashback on selected categories (with min. spend)
OCBC Rewards
4 miles per dollar
on selected categories

6 miles per dollar spend on Watsons, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop and Taobao until 31st March 2027
All 4 cards work with the spend requirement of OCBC 360.

Personally, I use OCBC 90°N for my OCBC 360 spend (via CardUp or ipaymy) because I want to put retail spend on other high-earn cards outside of OCBC. If you are not into miles, the OCBC Infinity would be the cashback equivalent of what I’m doing.

Pros

  • Works with OCBC 360’s spend category for bonus 0.25% p.a.
  • Simple and fuss-free
  • Get cashback and (OCBC 360 interest) with CardUp and ipaymy

Cons

  • As expected from a fuss-free card, earn rate is low

Verdict

If you are an OCBC 360 accountholder and want a cashback card to fulfil the interest category, this is the only choice aside from OCBC 365. 1.6% cashback isn’t exciting, but it is more or less in line with other cards of this nature.

Getting bonus interest from OCBC 360 account can make the card a lot more attractive to use, but only if you have ruled out other cards like OCBC Rewards, OCBC 90°N, or OCBC 365. Those cards do require a little bit more time and effort to use, so if you just want something to quickly score the sign-up reward, OCBC Infinity might be your best bet.

  1. Hi! Would the OCBC infinity work with Amaze for overseas spend? The T&Cs don’t seem to mention Amaze.
