Different banks have different credit card application standards and conditions. Small and medium-sized banks are generally easier to handle credit cards, but the credit line is different. Users who do not apply for credit cards and loans are more likely to apply for credit cards, mainly including Ping An Bank, Minsheng Bank (women can apply for credit cards and men can apply for people's livelihood in their cards), Bank of Communications (Wal-Mart Puka), Guangfa Bank (Guangfa DIY Credit Card) and China CITIC Bank (Taobao Naughty Bag Co-branded Card).
First of all, about credit cards:
Credit card, also called debit card, is a credit certificate issued by a commercial bank or credit card company to eligible consumers. It is a card with name, expiration date, number and cardholder's name printed on the front, and a magnetic stripe and signature strip on the back. Consumers with credit cards can go to specialized commercial service departments for shopping or spending, and then the bank will settle accounts with merchants and cardholders, and cardholders can overdraw within the prescribed limits.
Second, the credit card application review process:
1, application
In most cases, citizens with full civil capacity (citizens aged 65-438+08 in Chinese mainland) who have a certain direct source of income can apply for a credit card from the issuing bank. Sometimes, legal persons can also act as applicants.
The object of applying for credit card can be divided into units and individuals.
Applicants should be organs, enterprises and institutions, foreign-invested enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households with independent legal personality in China. When applying for a credit card, each unit can get a main card and multiple (5- 10) supplementary cards as needed. Individuals applying for credit cards must have a fixed occupation and a stable source of income, and provide guarantees to banks. The forms of guarantee include personal guarantee, unit guarantee and personal fund guarantee.
The application method is generally by filling in a credit card application form, which generally includes the applicant's name, basic information, economic situation or income source, guarantor and its basic information. And submit some copies of certificates and vouchers to the issuing bank.

The contents of the audit mainly include whether the contents of the application form are true, evaluating the credit degree of the applicant, and auditing the relevant information of the personal guarantor.
Usually, the bank will review the information and economic situation of the applicant according to the application materials to judge whether to issue a credit card to the applicant. The factors considered include the applicant's past credit record, the applicant's known assets, professional characteristics, etc. The specific factors and process of the issuer's audit are trade secrets, which are generally difficult for the outside world to understand. Different card-issuing banks have different standards. Therefore, the same materials may have different credit lines and different types of credit cards in different banks, and even some banks will pass the examination and some banks will refuse to issue them.
Step 3 issue cards

Step 4 open the card

In order to protect applicants and banks from being stolen, credit cards have card opening procedures before they are officially opened. Card opening is mainly through telephone or internet. , check the relevant personal information provided at the time of application, and go through the card opening procedures after meeting the requirements.
