The user applied for a credit card but received two cards. This is because some cards are issued in a 1+1 mode, and the card organizations of the two cards are usually different. For example, a user applies for a MasterCard credit card, but in order to facilitate the user's domestic consumption, a UnionPay credit card will also be sent to the user. Or if the user directly applies for a set of cards, he or she can get two credit cards from different card organizations at one time. Applicants for credit cards can be divided into units and individuals. Applicants should be institutions, enterprises and business units, foreign-funded enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households with independent legal person status in my country. Each unit applying for a credit card can receive a main card and multiple (5-10) supplementary cards as needed. The application method is generally by filling in a credit card application form. The content of the application form generally includes the name of the applicant, basic information, economic status or source of income, guarantor and his/her basic information, etc. And submit certain copies of documents and certificates to the card issuing bank. After the customer fills in the application form truthfully according to the content, the customer must also submit the relevant credit certificate while submitting the completed application form. The application form is accompanied by a credit card use contract. The applicant authorizes the card-issuing bank or relevant departments to investigate its relevant information, and submits a statement of the authenticity of the information, the card-issuing bank's privacy protection policy, etc., and must have the applicant's signature. After receiving the application form and relevant materials from the applicant, the card-issuing bank will review the applicant's creditworthiness. The content of the review mainly includes whether the content of the application form is true. The creditworthiness of the applying unit must be evaluated, and the relevant circumstances of the guarantor must also be reviewed for individuals. Usually, the bank will judge whether to issue a credit card to the applicant based on the application information and various aspects of the applicant's information and financial situation. Factors considered include the applicant's past credit record, the applicant's known assets, professional characteristics, etc. The specific factors and processes reviewed by the card issuing bank are commercial secrets and are generally difficult for outsiders to understand. The standards of each card-issuing bank are also different. Therefore, the same materials may be issued with different credit limits and different types of credit cards in different banks. Some banks may even approve the application, while others may reject it. . Since the card is sent by mail after the credit card application is approved, there is no guarantee that the recipient is the applicant. In order to protect applicants and banks from fraud losses, the credit card has set up a card opening procedure before it is officially launched. The card opening process is mainly done by phone or online. The relevant personal information provided during the application is checked. Once the information is met, the card opening process is completed. At this point, the applicant becomes the card holder and can officially start using it after signing on the back of the card. After opening a credit card, you generally need to set up a password for the card. After accepting a credit card, a credit card merchant or bank must review the validity of the credit card and the identity of the cardholder.
